The fishhook is a design such as CP's "Demon Drop" or SFWoA's "Mr. Hyde's Nasty Fall" (which used to be "The Edge" at SFGAm). The idea is a "pullout" section away from the freefall itself, with the rider ending up on his/her back out of freefall. A 700+ foot version by Arrow is being considered for the Stratosphere in Las Vegas.
