Transform Lives. \n Join Reality Changers for something totally different! Over the Edge is a one-of-a-kind event where attendees make a difference for college-bound youth by rappelling down the side of the Grand Hyatt San Diego hotel. \nYou can secure your spot by raising at least $1\,000 for Reality Changers. Each rappeller will set up a custom online fundraising page and receive tools & coaching from the Reality Changers team. Every dollar raised helps young people achieve their college and career dreams! \n\n More Information \n \n\n\nPast Event Photos\nAfraid of Heights?\nSafety Precautions\nEvent FAQ\nBecome a Sponsor\nSponsor a Student\nOur Sponsors\nFundraiser Resources\nVolunteer\n\n\n\n \n \n\n Past Event Photos \n \n\n Afraid of Heights? \n We understand that Over The Edge may push you out of your comfort zone a little bit\, but we believe that you can face your fears! At Reality Changers\, supporting someone through an intimidating experience is what we do best. Being the first in your family to go to college can be scary. That’s why we encourage and support our students through every step of the process. \nOver The Edge is an opportunity to challenge yourself\, just like our courageous students do every day. No matter what struggles our students may have faced in the past\, we know that they are going to succeed. All of our students know our mantra for success: ‘tough times never last\, but tough people always do.‘ \nIf you prefer not to rappel\, but would still like to get involved\, the following options are also available: \n\nSet up an online fundraising page to send a friend Over The Edge\nSponsor a Student to go Over The Edge\nVolunteer\n\n \n\n Safety Information \n Much like a roller coaster\, Over The Edge is an activity that may feel risky\, but is actually extremely safe. The equipment used and procedures followed were developed for industrial applications\, like construction\, rather than recreational rappelling. In fact\, thrill-seekers with military or public safety rappelling experience may find Over The Edge a bit too “tame” for their tastes. \nMore than 1\,000 Over The Edge events have been held in North America since 2008\, with no serious incidents. \nSafety measures include: \n\ntrained and certified staff of industrial ropes experts\nadherence to state and national OHSA laws\nadherence to SPRAT governing procedures\ncomprehensive insurance coverage\nsite safety plan\npre- and post-event equipment checks and building inspections\noversight by a safety advisory board\nparticipant training and practice\n\nReview this abstract to learn more about safety protocols. \n \n\n Frequently Asked Questions \n IS THERE A MINIMUM AGE TO RAPPEL?\n No\, but minors must have their waiver signed by a consenting parent or guardian and adhere to minimum weight restrictions. \n ARE THERE WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS TO RAPPEL?\n Yes\, participants must be between 100-300 pounds to safely fit into the harness equipment. \n Is Over The Edge Accessible?\n People with disabilities can participate in Over The Edge. Contact us if you have any questions or to request an accomodation. \n DO I GET TO PRACTICE BEFORE THE BIG RAPPEL?\n Yes! You will have the opportunity to practice before you go Over the Edge. This training and practice session will help you get used to the harness\, rappel device and technique for descending the building! \n WILL I HAVE A SCHEDULED TIME TO GO OVER THE EDGE?\n Yes\, when you reach your $1\,000 fundraising minimum\, we will give you a time period (within an hour) in which your rappel will take place. Please hold the entire day on your calendar\, as it may be difficult to accommodate schedule change requests. \n IS FUNDRAISING REQUIRED?\n Yes\, in order to be able to go Over the Edge you must donate or raise at least $1\,000. Our fundraising team provides resources and support to help you reach your goal. And your registration fee counts towards that goal. \n WHAT IS A FUNDRAISING TEAM?\n Fundraising teams are a great way to band together and raise money with your coworkers\, organization\, or friends! You can create or join a fundraising team when you sign up. (Or reach out to Reality Changers to create one later on.) Each member of a fundraising team must register and create their own individual page. \nPlease note: Individuals who plan to fundraise as part of a team but do not plan on rappelling DO NOT have to meet the $1\,000 fundraising minimum. Teams that work together to meet the $1\,000 fundraising minimum may nominate one member to rappel. \n SHOULD I REGISTER AS AN INDIVIDUAL OR A TEAM?\n When you sign up to participate in Over The Edge\, you will have the option to register as an individual\, join a team\, or create a team. Most people will register as an individual. You can create a team if you have other friends that would like to join you or a group that wants to work together to raise funds (for example\, a workplace\, alumni group\, or service organization). You can always create a team later if you decide to get a group together. \n \n\n Become a Sponsor \n This unique and exciting event attracts media coverage and generates buzz!
