Bungee jumping by PigPen on 20 Sep, 2010 11:39

First of all, would you do it? Have you done it? If so, would you do it again?
I ask because the State Fair is in town and a company my buddy works for brought their rig. It's 130 feet in the air, and an AMAZING rush. I'm working for him part-time and employees get to jump for free when we aren't busy. I did it twice yesterday, and I've gotta say I'll do it again when given the chance. Almost everyone I know says I'm crazy for doing it, but I tell them they're being redundant. HAHA! -

No. I'd rather stay on solid ground.

Mom: Would you jump off a bridge just because your friends did it?
Son: Not again. -

I would do it but only after I did a very thorough inspection of all the equipment involved. I wouldn't trust my life to some Carny worker that says everything is in great condition.

I've said that very same thing many times.I would do it but only after I did a very thorough inspection of all the equipment involved. I wouldn't trust my life to some Carny worker that says everything is in great condition.
If it weren't for the fact that I know the company well, and their stellar safety record, and having seen my buddy do it several times, I would say the same thing texanron.
My buddy has over 200 jumps in the past 15 years. All off of this very same equipment. -

I'd be afraid all the fat in my body would explode my head when I hit the end of the cord!

I'd rather not bungee jump. Never have, probably never will. It seems really unsafe even compared to something like skydiving.

I haven't bungee jumped yet, I've seen to many videos where things go wrong. I think if I was given the chance I would do it, I don't think anybody who knows me would think I could do it. I think skydiving is higher up on my list of things to do before I die (or ways for me to die)

I don't think I could, because I don't like heights anymore. I came close to falling on scaffolding that was about 50 feet high. I worked for a fly-by-night cut-rate construction company at the timeabout 10 years ago. I don't think the scaffolding was secure because it started shifting and leaning away from the building. I ended up sitting on the plank and moved slowly and gradually to another buck of the scaffolding. I moved to the other buck and climbed down the scaffolding. I told my supervisor and he tried to blame me for it, although I didn't set up the scaffolding. He eventually fired me 3 days later, the next payday ironically, and said my work performance wasn't that great. Trust, me I didn't get depressed or lose any sleep over getting fired from that job.
