How to do a bungee jump by pettybo

"A fantastic experience all around - I got to fly...umm..more like dive without the water."

How I did it: I went with a meetup group who introduced me to the company Bungee America(in business for 19 yrs & has a solid reputation. Remember guys...do your research!). I did two jumps with body harness - a back and front swan dive.


Lessons & tips: Tips:

  •  Know that you will be afraid but don't let fear get in the way(your fear is worse then the actual action).
  • Just do it - Decide that you're going to jump.
  • Follow the company's instructions(very simple..safety & a more fun experience).
  • Keep your eyes open!!! (as with everything in life, If you don't record an experience(mentally/written/etc), It might as well not have happened. Much like the tree in the forest falling and no one is there to see it.) Experience everything! :)

It took me
6 months
It made me

How I did it: There was an advertisment running through the college for those whom would be interested in doing a bungee jump.I paid the £50.00 fee up front which was the minimum sponsership that each jumper had to contribute for the bungee.At the point of the jump, I was terrified! I remember looking across and seeing a large Tesco. The most horrifying point of the jump is the realisation that there is no ground under you. Other then that it was fanas… Read how I did it…

    I did it!

    Well, I knew I wanna do it, but I hadn’t knew when. When my friend said he wants to do the same we just scheduled it, and did it! The distance, whe cost, the weather didn’t matter. We jumped on a highest bungee in Poland.

    Now I know the fear of jump is the only reasonable fear one should feel,

    I want to do it again!

    As the quote goes “To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.” by Bertrand Russell. Athough it is incredibly safe nowadays, It looks like one of the craziest things to do! The biggest one iv found on the net is in switzerland and is the one in the james bond film.

    3..2..1.. bungee 3 years ago

    I did a bungee jump a few weeks ago up in Letterkenny. I had to raise 100 euro (it was for charity). My sister and brothers did it last year and I was so jealous that I’d missed out. The weird thing is that I wasn’t nervous about it. I didn’t really think about it until I was getting strapped up.

    The nerves only came when the crane started to pull the cage up. The guy said 3..2..1… bungee and I went. I didn’t hesitate but as soon as i did it my mind went beserk. The adrenaline was mental! I was on a high for the rest of the day! I would definetly recommend it to anyone who’s interested.

    Next I plan to do a skydive!
