How I did it: Bungee jumping is really an amazing experience, it was truly liberating. I woke up in the morning, and decided to walk over to West Edmonton Mall, home of the worlds largest indoor bungee jumping platform. Went directly to the Center of Gravity kiosk and paid the fee and waited.

At three o'clock I went up. One other person was jumping that hour. We put on our harnesses (I opted for a headfirst jump, because that made the most sense) and walked up a couple flights of stairs and a ramp. I decided to go first.

And then it was time to jump. The horn went off, letting everyone down in the wave pool know that someone was bungee jumping. The crowd started screaming and cheering and I was ready to go. After freefalling for a while, I was pulled back by the chord and went up and down for a minute or two.

It reminded me of jumping of the high diving board and then some. Very exciting, and I'm glad I did it! :)

Lessons & tips: Just jump. don't hold on to anything, put your hands together and just jump!
