Bungee or Parachute

[Redback]

Put my hand up with work to join them in a fundraiser charity event and i either have to do a parachute jump or a bungee jump.Shit scared of either but not going to back out.Any feedback from ones that have done either?

never done a bungee but have done a tandem parachute jump, think it was 14000ft,

 

was near morecombe somewhere.

 

absolutley brilliant, diving through the clouds, it hurts a bit on the groin area when the shoot deploys, and its so quiet as your floating down

 

give that a go :)

I did a bungee for charidee. Scares the shit of you, and hurts, thus it is pretty much what you'd expect from jumping from 180ft up with a laggy band round your ankles.

Do the Parachute jump.

Bungee will scare you shitless!

Done both and parachute is by far the best experience.

i've also done both and parachute is fucking ace

Looking like parachute is the choice.

The whole laggy band around your ankle bit doesn,t fill me with confidence.

Start the training classes for parachute in March so time to grow a pair and get on with it.Thanks for the feedback;)

suppose with the bungee a big part is where you actually do it.

 

lot more nicer over somewhere like Victoria falls than from a crane in a pub car park

I have done 9 parachute jumps. I would also recommend this.

Never done a parachute jump but I will never do a bungee jump again. Its not very nice.

 

Did one inside an old steel works - plummeting twards concrete in the dark. Awful. Glad I did it, but awful.

Do both at the same time. Attach a bungee cord to your parachute. when it opens you keep going on the bungee. I could imagine it would be important to get the calculations right.

[Red Banjo]

Done both.

 

Both excellent. Mind you the bungee i did was the mahoosive fucker in New Zealand, The Nevis, its from a suspended platform above a river. Forget all this 100ft lark that most bungee jumps are - this bastard is 450ft and has a 8 second freefall before the cord yanks you. Its the only bungee i've ever done, and i would recommend it to anyone - i can't imagine a bigger adrenaline rush exists. But the problem, as previously stated, is its in New Zealand and i doubt a charity event would cover those costs. So in that case the parachute jump should be the only consideration, the feeling is amazing and i can't quite understand anyone who wouldn't want to do it. Best thing you can do with you clothes on IMO

Do the parachute jump. One word of advice though, make sure your bollocks are well and truly clear of the harness straps around your thighs.

 

I speak of experience.

I endorse this piece of excellent advice. At 15,000ft you normally have a free fall of 60 seconds, and the parachute jump can total around 10 minutes. This means you could have very squashed gonads for a large part of the 'experience' - and believe me when i say it won't be remembered for the right reasons.

 

Brings tears back to the eyes just thinking about it.

 

*wince*

I've also just noticed the OP is in Australia. If you get to do it - i've heard doing it in Mission Beach is amazing, and if you go across to NSW apparently in Byron Bay you can actually land on the beach itself.

 

Get on it.

[Mike D]

Gay.

 

was like cheesewire lol

 

fuckin killed

 

tip, get some extra paddin on the straps

Did a catapult (fired up on a bungee cord) which was different especially when the ground comes flying back towards you and your not sure it's not going to hit you in the face. Would love to do a bungee over water.
