I did it!!!! 700ft Bungee, highest commercial jump in the world! (video included)

So this is it 700ft of pure adrenaline!!
I did the jump on Sunday, and what a rush, I cannot describe that feeling during the freefall.

Its like time stood still, and all sound was just gone. Truely felt like I was flying.



Sorry about the watermark on there

Jesus Lord! I'd have had to check my undies after that, that is if I didn't die of fright... Man, you sure do drop 700 ft. in no time at all don't you?

Challenge accepted

The watermark is ok, but you really should be sorry about the accompanying audio track.


A few questions:

During the first few minutes, were you waiting for the 'OK' to jump, or just psyching yourself up?

I assume this wasn't your first bungee jump, and you have probably done it quite a few other times, but shorter jumps. Am I right on that?

The part of the video during/after the jump, is the aspect ratio correct? It looks like your legs stretched out longer lol.


I liked how they brought you back up, in the end. I wouldn't like having to stay hanging upside down the whole time back up lol.

V! You crazy bastard! LOL
Looking good!

I would have puked or died of a heart attack. You're a brave one!

Lol, yes some rather dodgy music.

Yes, normally the period from getting geared up and jumping is a lot shorter. I think there was some issue with the resetting from the previous jumper.

Indeed, done some before, but nowhere near as high as this! Lol

As for the last bit, I think my pants might have started slipping!! Hahaha

Also, my next adventure will be a 3000ft abseiling adventure down the slopes of Table Mountain, also the highest in the world!!

I had to Google abseiling. I see, it's what we call rappelling. Nice, have fun, better you than me! I can't do heights...

It's a bird... it's a plane.... no... it's...

I know, what you mean.
I could fell the adrenaline just from watching. You wear upside down for a while, not only that your getting slung around so your blood must be rushing to your head REALLY!!! fast.
