Bungee Jumping

I have never actually been bungee jumping and here is why...
A few years back I was in Florida for summer vacation and I decided it would be a cool thing to go bungee jumping. I was nervouse because I had never done anything like that before so I stood in line and kept wondering if I should really give it a try.

Now here comes the weird and sad part. I was next in line. I had only oone person in front of me before it was my turn. The person in front of me suits up. He got all of the equipment on him and everything seemed to be fine.

His chord ended up breaking in the middle of one of his jumps. He lived but after that I decided I was never going to give bungee jumping another thought.

wow really? How gnarly!

I havent bungee jumped yet- I really wanna. I've skydived and done really big bungee swings before, but just havent had the right opportunity to jump. That's a crazy story tho...
I'd think of it as a fluke and still really wanna go tho

I really want to try bungee jumping, that story was really weird. Things like that happen a lot so you can take it as a warning, or just as a happenstance. Most of the time it goes off without any problems, so I don't think it would be so bad.

very, very rare for a bungee cord to break... I did it recently on an 'adrenalin' tour in Australia (Adventure Junkies Australia - Adventure tours around Australia) It's something I don't think I'll ever forget, the incredible thing that happens in the second you begin free-falling is your FEAR of falling (and imminent death) turns into exhiliration and ADRENALIN! amazing!!
