Nevis HighWire in Queenstown, New Zealand(That tiny shack hanging is the jump Platform)
So I have finally completed all the tests of gravity and man made thrills that I wanted to on my trip. I have done everything from being 120ft under the surface of the ocean, jumping out of a perfectly good airplane at 120000ft, and now to add to the list is plummeting 450ft with nothing but a over sized rubber band between me and the ground.
"I Hope There Tight!!"
OH BOY!! 3....2....1....
BUNGY!!!
And Who Said I Didnt Go To Post-Secondary
So I have finally completed all the tests of gravity and man made thrills that I wanted to on my trip. I have done everything from being 120ft under the surface of the ocean, jumping out of a perfectly good airplane at 120000ft, and now to add to the list is plummeting 450ft with nothing but a over sized rubber band between me and the ground.
Today started off like all other days with me waking up, making coffee, and pondering what I should do when I decided it was as good as day as any to yet again put my life in the hands of the Kiwis and go Bungy Jumping. The very intelligent sport of Bungy was invented in New Zealand by a guy named AJ Hackett who used to just drive around until he found something to jump off of, get his cord out of the trunk of the car, tie it up, and jump. This was all kinda just for personal enjoyment until he jumped off the Eiffel tower and became internationally known and famous. New Zealand is now home to the very first commercial bungy that was ever operated and also the second highest bungy in the world that is 440ft and called the Nevis Highwire.
Seeing as this is one of those have to do activities in New Zealand I had to choose between jumping off the original or go for the glory and jump of the highest and naturally I choose the highest (got to get your moneys worth right)
Although today's weather wasn't exactly picture perfect, it was pouring!! I made it out to the Nevis River Valley and found out exactly what I was in for. The jump platform is suspended from cables 440ft above the river and you have to take a rickety little cable car to get to where you make the plunge. So after I was all harnessed in and had taken the cable car to the jump platform is right about when you start to think, "I cant believe I actually paid money to do this".
I have to admit, although its a hard comparison, that I think it is a little more nerve racking than skydiving for the fact that you physically have to jump by yourself without having an instructor or anybody easing you out. Once you get out to the platform there is so much going on with getting your ankles strapped, instructions of how to jump, and getting connected to the glorified rubber band that honestly, before you have a chance to get scared, your standing on the edge and all you hear is 3....2.....1.....BUNGY!!!!!!
After that moment is what you pay for as your diving over 400ft towards the ground. The feeling of free fall is the most the exhilarating feeling and with this bungy you get to enjoy that experience for around 10 seconds. After that you get a couple bounces and then they slowly winch you back up to the platform and unhook you to let you stand on your incredible weak and shaking knees. That's money well spent in my opinion.
HOLY WHAT A RUSH!!!
