INTRODUCTION
Bungee Jumping is both spectacular attraction and an exhilarating experience for all who participate. We attract people from a wide background and a broad spectrum of age groups. The average age of jumpers is between 16 and 40, but the limit is 14 to 50. Spectators of all ages will stand in awe witnessing the many people who just have to do it.
Contrary to what you may think, Bungee Jumping originated on the south Pacific island of Vanuatu with the natives performing it as part of their manhood ritual, leaping from bamboo towers with only vines tied to their ankles.
The worlds first Bungee jump as we know it occurred on April fools day 1979 when four jumpers performed a completely unauthorized leap, simultaneously, from Bristol Clifton suspension bridge using elasticized rubber ropes. Soon after, red-blooded adrenaline seekers across the world embraced this thrilling and intriguing new sport that owes everything to plain, raw nerve!
Our site controller will lease with the site organizer and local authorities and direct the team responsible for the safety and efficiency of the operation on the day. Each member of our staff are qualified Bungee Jumping crew trained to very high EBSA (European Bungee Sports Association) standards. There training combines extensive practical experience with theoretical a fundamental “redundancy” principle throughout and our procedures include rigorous double checking very much like a pilots pre-flight check routine. |
