Bungee jumping 19:16 - Jun 9 with 5433 viewsThisIsMyUsername

I'm currently posting from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, and have an opportunity to bungee jump off the bridge tomorrow.

Anyone on here ever done it?

I've tandem skydived before but the thought of doing a bungee jump makes me feel somewhat more nervous.

Probably won't get the chance to do so again...

I stood on that bridge wanting to do it but bottled it, my friend did it with 3 broken ribs and said it was great if you've got the balls to do it then do It! The white water rafting is great as is the helicopter ride over it

It's an excellent muscle relaxant, apparently

I'll think about doing it in your honour.

Thanks, if you've skydived you've got nothing to worry about! Enjoy!

Having done a parachute drop (not tandem) and one or two interesting things, the one thing I’ve never summoned the nerve to do is bungee jumping. Too old now, of course. If it’d been on offer when I was young and with buddies, would peer pressure had driven me to do it? Who knows.

Anyway, good luck with it! I suspect the adrenaline rush will be well and truly up there!

Do it!! Far more chance of getting hit by a bus than dying on a bungee jump. You’ll end up regretting it when you’re too old to do it if you don’t do it now!

I’ve done one and loved it. Make sure they’re a reputable firm, that’s my only advice. I found the initial fall fine, it’s the rebound, brief period of weightlessness and then fall again that nobody warns you about.

I've done parachuting and it was great fun.

But when I did a bungee it was from a crane platform thing and I hated it. My son and I went up together and he went first, once prepared he just dived off. When I was ready I clung to the guard rail with white knuckles before being persuaded how ignominious my descent would be if I didn't jump. Never again!

After too much beer and Malawi gold he decided to hang upside down by his legs from the bar rafters 20 ft up, unsurprisingly he fell, stupid Aussie!

Not a great choice of motivational quote as it was inspired by "let's do it", Gary Gilmore's final words at his execution.

Same here.

Paid up, strapped up, hopped onto the edge, looked down, hopped off back onto the bridge.

Bloke: What you doing?
Me. Not jumping off there.
Bloke: We don't offer a refund.
Me. Don't give a fck, keep it pal.

Did the zip wire thing which was easier.

Few months after I bottled it this happened...

Thanks for all the replies and stories!

Update: Didn't get the chance to do it today. Was in a rush to have to get back across the border from Zambia into Zimbabwe.

I'm here until Monday...
