This Friday, I will be flying, or falling, through the air yet again, but this time I will be strapped to a chair at least. I’m going to ride the Sling-Shot at the amusement park in Virginia Beach. As soon as I mentioned the possibility of the experience, readers prompted me to video tape the adventure, reminding me of our video archives of countless extreme “falls”. As a lead up to my “fall” or “sling-shot” on Friday, I’ll share a few other extreme videos.
One of my favorite videos is Darren’s bungee jumping in Angeles National Forest at the Bridge to Nowhere. The only problem is, you gotta bleep that ****
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Is it your first time to do bungee jumping? or if not, when? Just curious ’cause actually I do not consider this yet. LOL. I am so afraid of heights. I’m gonna die. But thanks for sharing. 🙂

Oh no, not for me just looking at heights scares me to death. But you go ahead and good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

Could never ever ever bungee jump. I know for a fact because I tried to sky dive…..I got all strapped up, flew in the plane, but when it was my time to jump (tandem of course with a pro) I bugged out. I got to the opening of the plane, looked down and that was it! I gripped the sides of the opening til my knuckles were white. My partner was trying to pry my fingers off and push us out the door. I cursed him out like no other. I think the experience is on tape somewhere. I am in awe of people who bungee jump and sky dive with ease! More Power To You!!!!!!

I really want to try this, but I am nervous I will hurt my neck or back. Not from crashing, but from pulling.

I would die. Not of the jump, but of the hearty-tack I have while going over the edge. Best wish for a fun, exciting, and safe jump. You are brave.

Yeah, I won’t be doing that … ever! My fear of heights is unbelievable. I think I’d rather skydive than bungee jump.
You look like you had fun though. And that’s all that matters! 😀
