Down he slid, much faster than he had imagined possible, but slowly enough to land softly when he reached the bottom. Once there, he picked himself up and raced across to the red control box. The button was there – exactly where Godfrey had said it would be – and when he pressed it he heard the welcome sound of machinery unwinding the safety net.

Up above, Godfrey had managed to get his warning to Lisa, but now that the net was in place, she was free to let go. And she did, tumbling like an angel falling out of the sky.

Freddie watched from below. He held his breath as Lisa came down, and then let it out in a relieved rush when he saw how the net broke her fall. And then he watched in astonishment as he saw her bounce up, turn an elegant somersault in the air, and then fall back into the net. It all looked so easy and so comfortable. It looked like fun, too.

“Your turn, Freddie,” called Lisa, as she lowered herself from the edge of the safety net.

Freddie was still standing on the ground and he looked up at the platform high above him. It seemed an impossible distance to fall and not get hurt, but he had seen it done now and he was not as frightened as he had been earlier on.

“Yes,” he said. “I’m coming.”
