I'm doing it next weekend at Great Canadian bungee.

Not gonna lie, pretty scared, but it looks like a lot of fun.

I did the worlds highest bungee (260meters or something) in South Africa this summer. Was fucking epic. I wasnt scared at all until i was standing on the edge and actually had to jump.

I'd skydive before I even thought about going bungee jumping. Every time I see a person jump I imagine that big cord wrapping around their neck popping their head off.

looks like so much fun. only thing i would be worried about would be my arms flailing too much and my shoulder coming out of socket.

Really not an issue. Its not hard to keep yourself in the spread-eagle pose or whatever... except not spread eagle because your legs are together but you know what i mean... and when you get to the bottom and bounce back up theres no big whiplash moment or anything like that, its pretty smooth.

The only thing that bothered me was hanging upside-down at the bottom waiting 5 minutes to get winched up killed my ankles.

I did the AJ Hackett Bungee jump in New Zealand. Shit was so scary but totally worth it in the end.

I did it in Australia, and all I can say is FUCK. It is such a good time.  You're gonna want to go again, and again, and again, and every single time you go its just as scary as the time before. 

For the finale, i got on my hands and knees, got helped into a handstand, and walked off the edge.

216 meters, epically high.  I'm thinking about doing the 134 meter one in NZ but I might just save my money and jump out of a plane from 12,000ft.

duuuude that would be the worst feeling ever.... and then the best.

If that happened to me I'd be like the dude who crapped himself while doing bungee.

sorry man but ledge is only 47meters.  that's less than 1/4 of the world's highest.  but it is a badass view and you can do it at night

I did the Nevis Bungy in New Zealand.
It was fucking nuts. 400+ feet freefall, i thought i would hesitate but i just went for it, balls to the wall. I have a video of it on my facebook, i wish i could embed it in here

one of the floor panels fell out of the bungy car a couple of years ago. there was a girl standing on it and she fell through. a guy waiting his turn to jump managed to grab her arm before she went right out the hole.

bullll shit. there arent raelly floor panels. Its just a metal box, but there are cutouts where the put clear glass. i highly doubt it broke though....

also, when i was waiting to go and i wasnt actually in the box yet, this fat chick went and the entire box tilted.

They might have perhaps maybe possibly, if the weather was permitting, changed the floor design after that minor incident....

I jumped the Great Canadian Bungee a little over a month ago. It's pretty dope, I'm really scared of heights but once you get up there you just slam jam it without thinking. I would recommend getting strapped up around your waist, I did ankles and it wasn't as sick.

took the plunge today. I can easily say that it was the scariest, craziest, most fun thing I've ever done.

I am super happy its done, but now I have an urge to go again.

Glad I got it out of my system and finally just did it.

I'll post a video soon.

did you jump victoria falls? thats the one i did and i wasnt scared until i stepped to the top of the rail. super sketched out because the mist was so bad you couldnt see the bottom. it was like jumping into a cloud. not gonna lie though, i thought i was gonna piss myself when i was standing on the railing, i hate uncontrollable drops, same with big drops on roller coasters. weird
