Ever dream of being in the circus? Here's a chance to try the trapeze at Madonna Inn in SLO Mackenzie Shuman, The Tribune (San Luis Obispo, Calif.) First, you get strapped in. Then, you walk up a 20-foot-tall ladder to a platform suspended over a bouncy safety net. You reach for the bar, bend your knees and hop — and you’re off, swinging through the air. Flying trapeze requires some guts and a lack of the fear of heights, but it also requires the willingness to put your faith in your hands and the small bar you’re hanging onto.
