Bungee jumping (or bungy jumping) is the sport that originated from New Zealand and was created by maverick daredevil A J Hackett.That is a short story about bungee.I haven't done bungee jumping (yet)but i hope that in the near future i can do that.Have any of you done that? What are the sensations?
Is this what the doctor 'ordered'?

You already asked me that one ;P I didn't do it because of fear but I think next summer holidays will be the right time to try something new. A lot of my friend have done it already, even those I would never expect todo it. So this gives me courage to try:D

Ha, ha,ha!!! No way, the whole idea scares the sh*t out of me! Good luck to anyone who wants to do so. My question is after you do it once would you do it again if you didn't really like the first jump?

I have never tried bungee jumping before. I am so scared of it. Even watching others to try it already makes me feel so nervous. That's not a suitable game for me. I am so afraid of the height.
I love China

Hello dear laurentyul. We have a bungee jumping park near the Taihu Lake in Huzhou and every year they host bungee jumping match domestically and internationally. I think that it is a very dangerous event. I don't think that I will ever try bungee jumping. In fact, it is very challenging. But many people are fond of this bungee jumping.

Yes but the things you do for the first time are a little bit scary, maybe after your first jump you may start to like it. What do you say about that?
Thank for the answer.Laurentiu

I would never do it, yup I am a pure chicken. I have seen other people do it and thought they have lost their minds. LOL I think ya got to be way braver than I to do it. Maybe when I was younger I would of. I used to like roller coasters when I was young even though I would get sick. I don't go on them now if I can help it.

Maybe the age has an important factor in this, maybe i would do it because i am 23 years,but there are people that you can call them your grandparents that do a lot of crazy things.

OMG! I don't think that I would have the nerve to do it! I always thought it was kool and exciting but with the problems I have with my bones and joints I wouldn't dare to even try to do it! Plus most of the jumps are off of bridges and over water and I'm scared of bridges and water that I can't see the bottom clear like a swimming pool....

ooh this is something that I wanna do but don’t have the courage! I would love to try bungee jumping…but I'm scared of heights! I'm going to phuket next month and there's a place to bungee jump, my friends and I wanna check that out…hopefully I will gather the guts to do it; after all it's once in a lifetime experience and it'll be over in mere seconds. but gosh, i'd be so nervous if i really were to do it!

Hi there, yes I've bungee jumped. Only once, but I would most definitely do it again. I did the highest bungee in the world on christmas eve last year, which is called Bloukrans in South Africa (n the garden route near Plett). 216 metres and it was amazing. I was grinning ear to ear all day long, it's such an experience and a rush. I think someone was discussing age too so just for info I was 18 at the time.
