91热爆

As a Krypton Factor fan, 91热爆 Leicester's Chris Baxter decided to celebrate the return of the show back on the screens by having his own challenge. He managed to get a team together from the studios who were willing to take part.

The group met at the Outdoor Pursuits Centre in Birstall,听 which offers daredevil challenges for adrenaline junkies, to test out their new course - the City Skylines Aerial Challenge.

It's an assault course with a difference!

It just happens to be 33 feet up in the air. It's brand new, and this summer, it'll be open to the public.

With a maximum of 4 points to be bagged by each contestant on each challenge, the pressure was on.

Chris Murlin. Rock climbing challenge. As assault course ten metres from, the ground, then we're going to finish up with the parachute simulator

Imagine walking the plank of a pirate that's what we're going to make you do. You step of the plank at the top and hopeful, the machinery should stop you before you hit the ground.

"What do you mean, hopefully?" asks a worried Chris.

Unfortunately we not had a chance to test it with the public so you will be the first to use it."

First up was the climbing and the contestants get on with the challenge.

Then the skylines aerial challenge which is an obstacle course off the ground.

The cold weather made the challenge more difficult for the teams.

Then it was the final challenge, the parachute simulator, a new addition to the course.

It's a plank 10 metres above the ground. You have to walk to the edge and jump off! You're held into a harness with a thin rope, which is attached to a fan and spring. As you descend, the fan slow you down, so you don't land with a complete splat!

Understandably some of the contestants were worried about the final part.

In the end Charles Dagnell refused to take part. Citing his reasons he said:

"I felt my legs start to shake towards the end. I commend anyone that does it but I genuinely feel scared to death."

The winner Rachel!

Listen: And the winner is....

It's the moment of truth, as the final winner is revealed.
