3, 2, 1, BUNGEE! These are the last words you will both hear before launching yourself from a 170ft platform and plummeting rapidly towards the ground! Once you have jumped you will both share a euphoric sense of achievement with the knowledge that you have overcome your fears and jumped with nothing more than an elastic band to save you!On arrival you must complete a membership form for insurance
Bungee Jumping A couple of my friends and I (Melanie) went bungee jumping at Whistler Bungee. This is one of the few places to go bungee jumping locally. The surrounding area is breathtaking. There are mountains and forested area around the bungee bridge...(read more)
Nerves of steel, or a few pints to loosen you up! Whatever, over 50 nutters queued in the late afternoon sunshine to hurl themselves out of a cage dangling precariously from a monster crane parked around the back of The Express. Hundreds more were there to watch!.Fair play to them all, as there was no crash mat! I was lucky enough to go up top with Waddo from the Chron who was interviewing a few p
Mad day on Sunday. Rain. Sun. Rain. Sun. Thankfully, when the big crane arrived at the Express pub's car park the few hundred jumpers and drinkers were bathed in glorious sunshine. A few snaps of the event to follow later, but first a lofty view of the Alex ground and Rail House grabbed when I was allowed to go up in the cage with a foolish bungee lunatic! Why? Still, plenty raised for charity and

Portuguese-born Mad man Carl Dionisio is a thrill seeker. To recreate the excitement, trepidation and fear of his first ever bungee jump, he decided to make his own rope from 18,500 condoms. (unused condoms I assume).
Carl, 37, said: “It was difficult as the condoms are slippery. When we tied knots they would just slip out.
“Latex [...]
Carl Dionisio from Portugal makes a successful jump, the 30-meter-long bungee cord he used is made up of 18,500 condoms, is that a new record? I am interested in if all the condoms are second-handed, :). Anyway, congratulations to the creative man!
Alice and Frank were Bungee jumping one day. Alice says to Frank, "You know, we could make a lot of money running our own Bungee-jumping business in Mexico."Frank thinks this is a great idea, so they pool their money and buy everything they need: a tower, an elastic cord, insurance - the whole nine yards.They travel to Mexico and begin to set up on the square. As they are constructing the tower, a crowd begins to assemble. Slowly, more and more people gather to watch them at work.When they finished, there was such a crowd, they thought it would be a good idea to give a demonstration, so Alice gears up & jumps.She bounces at the end of the cord, but when she comes back up, Frank notices that she has a few cuts and scratches.Unfortunately, Frank isn't able to catch her, and she falls again,
By: Elmo Kandel There's a new trend in bungee jumping, but I wouldn't exactly say that it's taking the world by storm. So what is this new angle on the ancient sport of bungee jumping? How about naked bungee jumping. OK, so I know you think I'm crazy, but there hundreds, perhaps thousands out there who will swear by this experience. Let's take a few minutes to look at the possible attraction, as well as the detractors, of this bizarre variation on the sport.First, it is interesting to note that the natives who have performed the ritual that has become bungee jumping for thousands of years wear very little clothing. I'll admit, it must be a bit different jumping from a make-shift wooden tower using a jungle vine attached to your ankles. This is a far cry from modern bungee jumping. However, these native young men wore nothing more than a flimsy loin cloth on their plunge to please mother earth. So in some primitive, instinctual way, there must be a spiritual attraction of sorts in
By: Elmo Kandel There are five bungee jumping questions that you need to ask when you decide to go jumping. Here's what they are, and why they matter.# 1 - How do I want to go bungee jumping? This question will help decide how high off the ground you will be when you do your bungee jump. Do you want to use a commercial crane outfit, or are you looking for something more in tune with nature? Perhaps jumping off of a bridge towards the earth and a running stream of water would be more appealing to your sense of adventure.# 2 - What club or outfitter will I use? This question is of primary importance, as it relates directly to the safety of the experience you will have. Not all bungee jumping clubs or commercial outfitters are the same. Make sure that the jump team, especially the jump master are all certified. The club or company should participate in a certification program as well. Do your homework here, both with the company and with local governmental offices and consumer advocacy g
By: Elmo Kandel There are many ways to bungee jump. While this extreme sport has one main method, there are many varieties that have come to life in the past decade of this international sport. As the old adage goes, 'variety is the spice of life'. This is true even in the already spicy endeavor of bungee jumping.The variety in bungee jumping usually comes from the position in which you perform the jump, how you are tethered, and any 'tricks' you may attempt to perform during the jump or the rebound. First, let's take a look at the different methods of being tethered, and see what impact that has on your jump.The most common attachment method is the use of a body harness. The body harness attaches to your body near the center of gravity, or your belly button. One effect of this type of tethering is that it makes it easier to perform flips and spins. Leg harness or ankle harnesses are another way of attaching to the bungee cord. This type of tethering allows for more of the free fa
By: Elmo Kandel While modern bungee jumping has become known and practiced worldwide, what is less understood is the physics behind bungee jumping. Interestingly enough, the extreme sport originated from spiritual rituals of South Pacific natives, who had no idea of the science behind the sport. Modern bungee jumping enthusiasts find much comfort in the idea that someone has worked through the math required to perform a safe jump. So who developed the physics of bungee jumping and how sure are the modern practitioners of the sport that it is relatively safe? Let's start by taking a look at the origins of the science behind the sport.Years before the discovery of the land diving natives on Pentecost Island, a British mathematician named Robert Hooke was discovering the physics of bungee jumping. He began working as an assistant to the famous scientist Robert Boyle in 1653. However, it wasn't until 1660 that he formulated and wrote down Hooke's Law of Elasticity. In laymen's terms, H
QUEENSTOWN, New Zealand — I stepped to the edge of the launch platform and poked my head over the side. I could see the tops of trees around an opening a couple of hundred feet below, where the rock face of the mountainside sloped almost straight down. The view sent a slight shiver down my spine and set off a flutter at the bottom of my stomach. "You don't need to see where you're going," the guy tending the bungee site called "The Ledge" advised calmly in his New Zealand accent. "Are you ready?"I've heard that some first-timers stall at this point and think things over, but this was no time for thinking.
One day while surfing channels on the television, I came across a spectacular fun show. I saw several guys and girls jumping down from a platform fixed on a dizzy height of almost 80 feet. The people who were jumping down were fastened with hard elastic ropes tied around their legs. It was almost breathtaking to see the moment they jumped down, they sprang back immediately before touching the ground. I got interested to know more about this particular sport.
Thanks to Mailfriends, I met a friend named Mark who resides in New Zealand. Mark told me everything regarding bungee jumping as it is a famous and popular sport that is enjoyed almost in all places of New Zealand. I was shocked to know that it is only the elastic rope that saves the man jumping down, from suffering a hard collision against the ground. Sometimes, as Mark told me, it is played on a river and to get a quick dip in the cold water and retreating back is a different kind of fun altogether. Listening to his descriptions,

I filmed this clip of this Bright Idea earlier this month. I regret not paying the $7 to give this a try (we were running late for a home-cooked dinner when I came across this). Apparently, it can hold up to 200 lbs. The 13 y.o. girl on before I filmed was doing flips.
The clip is 38 seconds long.

When the white man invaded Africa he apparently didn't teach them how to measure things. Maybe they got confused by the metric system like we did back when they tried to force it on us in 5th grade.(Hat Tip: College Humor)
I've been meaning to put these up for ahwile. Cheers to the bunge crew.In all sincerity, Dean did a double backflip we never got on film, and Paul did a weird twisting backwards gainer thing. As the video shows, Chris and I just fell like bricks.A couple of good quotes:"That scream was classic!" -- Dean"I kinda got sacked, did you kinda get sacked?" --Chris
