Bungee Jumping

[ZeroChalk]

Anyone try it? thinking of doing it this summer.

[SpeedBaby]

love it!!! the best adrenaline rush you could get, on par with base jumping. much more exciting than skydiving as you can actually see the ground fast approaching.

a couple tips:
-don't close your eyes or it will defeat the entire purpose of the jump
-don't jump wearing a skirt (which you probably didn't plan on doing anyways, but just in case)

[Fobio]

bottomless bungee jumping?

not warm enough yet...windchill combined with the nervous factor will make for massive shrinkage...

Honestly I don't think it can get any smaller.

SHUT UP ALL OF YOU!

A friend of mine went bungee jumping and dislocated his shoulder in the process. He said the jolt at the bottom was more than he was expecting. He did have a previous injury though.

shoulder?! was he strapped in a back harness??? i never tried that, but with the ankle strap i never felt any pull at all, nevermind a jolt...

i never jumped in canada, did in a few places in europe tho.

[Cardinal Fang]

Ya he had what looked like a shoulder harness. The bungee chord attached to a spot in the upper back. His wife just laughed at him.

[Scottobot]

His wife just laughed at him.

Yeah they're good that way.

[shuller1458]

Where can you bungee jum in GTA or short drive?

[shuller1458]

And how much is it. ?

[mazdabetty]

For anyone scared out of their minds, start at wonderland!!!! Wow what a rush that was!!!!! Feels like your face is about to be smashed in.... but it's a smooth jolt at the end and then you get to just fly for a while!

I've jumped once in Whistler. First jump is $120 but that includes a 'lifetime' membership. From that point onwards, jumps are $60. It's a 150' drop off a bridge over a scenic river. If the cord snaps, at least you get a pleasant view...

But it's a thrilling experience not meant for everyone. Just don't think too much about it when you're on the perch.

I was fitted with a torso harness - the cord was attached to my front mid-torso and you jump with your back facing downwards. I also had the choice of having the cord attached to my back or an ankle harness.

Perform your own risk analysis - if you have a wife, three kids, mortgage, car payments and all the other expenses in between, maybe you'll want to pass. :)

I was planning on going to http://www.bungee.ca, in quebec. It's about $90. It say's it the highest bungee tower in North America at 200ft.

[cereal83]

I went to Quebec about an hour from Hull and did it like 2 years ago. Was good times

well, if you've got insurance...

I'd be careful about said wife, esp if SHE got a insurance policy for you AND booked the bungee trip...

:gone

[JashiK]

lol fobio. that's when you make her jump with you

[Malcolm991]

I dove of a crane in Ottawa a few years ago, forgot how high it was! The fall wasn't bad but when you are dunked 5 feet into the water, the pull with brute force half way back up is the ride!

[rktsci]

Wilderness Tours on the Ottawa river is the only place in Ontario that still does bungee jumping....and its awesome. I've done it 3 times so far to cap off a weekend of white water rafting. Their crane is permanently anchored on the waterfront and you can choose to get dunked into the water and the bottom of your drop...its awesome!

[firstmazda]

I think there's also a rule about not eating mexican food an hour before the jump....
