法國一家名為“終極現(xiàn)實(shí)”的公司推出可以按客戶要求定制的“綁架”服務(wù)，想要尋求刺激的客戶只要花900歐元便可以有一次被綁體驗(yàn)。工作人員會(huì)出其不意將客戶當(dāng)街擄走，再五花大綁囚禁四個(gè)小時(shí)。如果覺得刺激還不夠，還可以追加服務(wù)，定制逃跑或被直升飛機(jī)追趕的情節(jié)。該公司創(chuàng)始人指出，客戶在參加此項(xiàng)服務(wù)前需簽署合同和免責(zé)協(xié)議。因?yàn)檫@樣的綁架活動(dòng)都是在客戶知情并且允許的情況下進(jìn)行的，所以警方表示不會(huì)插手。除綁架服務(wù)外，該公司表示還會(huì)為那些已經(jīng)厭倦了蹦極和跳傘等極限運(yùn)動(dòng)的人們推出更多的服務(wù)，比如活埋，參加自己的葬禮，或者在太平間過夜等。

Thrill-seekers in France tired of the usual array of white-knuckle sports are turning to a bizarre new service to get their adrenaline rush -- designer abduction.

Thrill-seekers in France tired of the usual array of white-knuckle sports are turning to a bizarre new service to get their adrenaline rush -- designer abduction.

For 900 euros ($1,226), clients of Ultime Realite ("Ultimate Reality"), a firm in eastern France, can buy a basic kidnap package where they're bundled away, bound and gagged, and kept incarcerated for four hours.

Alternatively, they can opt for a more elaborate tailor-made psychodrama, involving an escape or helicopter chase for example, where costs can quickly escalate.

"Basically, anything is possible. I identify what the customer wants and then try to put it into action," said Georges Cexus, 28, who set up the company in the middle of January.

Once the scenario has been established, clients sign a contract and liability waiver, but have no idea when the kidnappers will strike in order to maximize the surprise.

But Cexus said the maximum incarceration time is 11 hours, beyond which clients might find the novelty tends to wear off.

After just a few weeks in business, Ultime Realite says it is already getting up to two requests a day, the majority from top-level executives seeking an extreme alternative to bungee jumping or skydiving.

Others are hoping to confront deep-rooted phobias, such as one potential client who says he wants to be buried alive.

For those searching for the ultimate nightmare, the company is also hoping to branch out beyond kidnappings and is looking into options such as spending a night in a morgue, or attending your own funeral.

"Let's say it will really be about bringing to life the client's worst fear, the thing that's lurking in the back of his mind and he's never dared talk about," said Cexus.

While paying "victims" might find the experience cathartic, however, there's little guarantee of how innocent bystanders might react to witnessing a kidnapping in broad daylight.

A spokesperson for the French police said they had no legal objections to the service, but the company would need to warn local authorities beforehand so they were prepared for any emergency calls.

"With regard to the police and penal code, there's no reason for us to ban this service, as the victim is consenting which means there's no crime," the spokesperson said.
