I've done three it's fantastic. :grin:

I did one from 180 foot just the straighforward thing where you dive out and bounce up and down a bit, one where you get shot upwards and one where you hang below the cage and they drop you into a net without being attached to anything.

Best fun you can have with your clothes on. :wink:

My brother did one at the King Owsy pub the day after our Play Off final game. In the 45 minutes leading up to it he must have had at least 5 pints and a few double vodkas, and he said he wasn't nervous :laugh:

I've always fancied doing one, apparently you sometimes have to sign forms to say that your family won't sue if you die from doing one. I don't like the idea of doing one above concrete, at least if you are on a bridge above water and something goes wrong you have a fighting chance.

Didn't Noel Edmunds Late Breakfast show get pulled from TV because someone died doing a jump....

To be honest if you're dropping like a rock from 180 foot and something goes wrong you'd need to be very fortunate to survive uncrippled whatever you landed on, even those fabulous thick impressive mattresses they use.

180 foot enough for terminal velocity Mr I?? I seem to remember it's around 200??

Well he was nervous as feck but got up there and jumped straight away with no dilly-dallying....so fair play to him!!!! :sweeeet:

A big hard looking gadgy was the only one that bottled it after he went up....but fair play to him for actually going up!!!! :grin:

You could go up in the cage for £3....I wouldn't even do that!!!! :shock:

Don't bungee jump into a river cause the rope my get cut and you could drown.

The best one I ever heard about was this daft get in Bristol (?) who decided that he'd get ready to jump off the bridge and have the bungee long enough to just immerse him in the river and then catapult him out and to show off, yes you've guessed it, he doused himself in petrol, and set himself on fire.

So off he jumps, but he'd miscalculated the length of the rope or it's stretchability and didn't reach the water and dangled there in flames.

I never heard whether he survived.

If he did, they should take him round the schools and exhibit him in the 'Don't Be So Fookin' Stupid' lessons.
