Advantages: Execellent Experience

Disadvantages: Dangerous

I did a Bungee Jump for Charity the sensation of "hanging ten" from a suspended Bungee platform 200ft above the ground is difficult to describe. You simply have to experience it for yourself.

The feeling just as you dive from the platform is second to none. You will never forget the awesome adrenalin-pumping freefall until finally you feel the latex Bungee cord gradually kick in. At maximum cord extension you experience approximately 3 G Forces just before you hurtle skyward. Then you hit the "Comfort Zone" and think the Bungee is all over......DON'T BE FOOLED! The worst is yet to come. As you reach the top of the first rebound all the tension comes off the Bungee cord and you are left wondering... WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH....WHERE'S THE BUNGEE GONE. And guess what? You know what's coming next... Yes, more freefall. You experience 3 or 4 major bounces before the Bungee begins to settle. You however will be unsettled with the euphoric sensation of your Bungee Jump for the rest of the day.

After the jump I was on a high for a few day's, pleased delighted with myself. It has been a few months now and I would probably not do a jump again. You think why but I have now realised the Danger's of pushing your body into that 'Danger Zone'. It is great to think that I have completed this challenge and survived !!!.
