    I've always been an adrenaline junkie. It's why I sold my car lol, I drive a 4 cylinder car now that can't give me the thrill my Mustang used to give me, But much safer =P!

    Also, My job revolves around working in pretty high settings so that always gets the adrenaline up.
     
    That being said,  I don't think I could bungee jump LOL!
     
    This is the type of stuff we do and the type of heights we deal with lol, Yes, There ARE decks and safe access, AFTER WE FINISH! For the safety of those who use them, unfortunately I can't say we have that same luxury while we're building or removing them lol!

    Heck, that was a swing.  It doesn't look like you ever in freefall.  When I jumped, it was about 100 feet of straight freefall before the bungee started slowing me down.  When I was winched back up I was shaking like I'd funneled 3 pots of coffee.  LOL  I might have a video here someplace but I think I might have deleted them all.
     
    Nope, it's gone.  I had a gopro strapped to the top of my foot looking up at my face.

    15 meters isn't bad, that's what, 50 feet?  Looks different on the vid.

    Not me, but this is where I went.  Great crew and location to jump from if you are ever in central kentucky.  Kinda makes me want to go back and do it again.  Next session in May.   Prices have dropped to $60 from over $100 last time I went.  I think I'm going to sign up and reserve a spot after the new year.  I'm kinda overspent this month.  http://www.vertigobungee.net/ 
     
    Edit:  $60 was the deposit.   It's $150 for a single jump, $230 for a double, and $310 for a triple.  Pricing has gone up instead of down.  I'm out.

    HaywireHaywood that looks awesome I was all for doing it upside down but chickened out when I was hanging 132 foot in the air, So I thought I will do it without holding on. The safety lass asks you if you want a count down or a surprise, I asked her for the surprise so she then ask's what brings you up here today and halfway through my answer the switch was pulled and I grabbed on for dear life

    The time I went there was a girl that just couldn't make herself jump.  After some cheering from the spectators, she told the safety to push her.  He said "Are you sure?"  She was determined to go but couldn't do it without help.  She screamed all the way down.  LOL

    A wise man once said that we can't make anyone feel or do anything. We can throw things into the wind, but it's up to each person to decide how they want to react, where they want to stand when things fall.

    I considered that, and I guess it's a fine line, but I think I feel better being tied to something solid via a big rubber band than the possibility of several thousand feet of freefall without the slowdown at the end.

    I'd like to skydive once. it's on my bucket list. 




     
    If you skydive without a parachute, you'll definitely only skydive once.... =P!
     
    I'm scared of heights, But I would LOVE to skydive... I just don't know if I'd land alive. Probably have a heart attack mid-fall.
     
    Edit:
     
    People with high blood pressure along with most other heart diseases are not recommended to skydive.
     
    So I guess I won't ever do it lol.

    There's a health questionnaire for the vertigo bungee also.  High blood pressure, heart attacks, and a few other ailments disqualify you.  There is also a question about having been diagnosed with psychiatric problems, but that one I wonder whether I need to check yes or no since I'm asking to jump off a 230' railroad trestle again.  Could go either way.

    There's a health questionnaire for the vertigo bungee also.  High blood pressure, heart attacks, and a few other ailments disqualify you.  There is also a question about having been diagnosed with psychiatric problems also, but that one I wonder whether I need to check yes or no since I'm asking to jump off a 230' railroad trestle again.  Could go either way.




    That's a big inconvenience, However, I went on the Disneyland ride "Space Mountain" Not knowing how the ride was, there was no flips, just sharp turns and high speeds and my heart was fluttering, I got pale and felt lightheaded and weak upon finish. 
     
    So I don't think I'm going to ever be able to enjoy these adrenaline rushes like I used to... Ya'll are so lucky :(
