Bungy!









Like the sky diving video, I think these are much more entertaining with a running commentary. But that's not going to happen, so here's a quick run down of each jump. The Kawarau Bridge is the oldest permanent bungy site in the world (the bridge was built just for bungy jumping). It's 141 foot (43 meter) drop, with an optional "splash landing" in the river. I opted to just get my hands wet. I wish I had done more, but I was too freaked out to think correctly. The second jump is the Nevis Highwire. At 440 feet (134 meters), it's one of the highest jumps in the world. It's about 8.5 seconds of freefall which, as you can see, translates to a long time on the first trip down.
