I was watching a show on television the other day about a couple that was dating. On one of their dates they went bungee jumping. That is one thing I don't think I could ever do. I'm too chicken. Have you ever gone bungee jumping?

As stupid as it sounds, I am terrified of heights, but yes, I have taken the plunge and gone bungee jumping just one time. I did it to impress a guy, of all things. I was so hungover that day and I thought I was going to die. I sat there shaking as they bound my legs together, first wrapping my ankles with towels and then fixing the bungee straps around them. I thought I was going to throw up. The next thing I knew, I was walking the plank off a bridge that was over 200 feet high. Two guys on either side of me walked me out to the plank and counted me down, 3 - 2 - 1, BUNGEEEEEE.... but I already jumped before they got to 1. I have to say it was the singlemost biggest rush I have ever experienced in my life. I plunged toward the river, my head dipped into the water and I was hurled back up towards the bridge at lightening speed. After about 8 bounces, I dangled there while a guy paddled up to me in a raft and hooked my ankles straps, pulling me toward the raft. He pulled me into the raft and I laid there on my back just buzzing for about 10 minutes. I have it on videotape and I still can't believe it's me jumping, and the scream that came out of me sounded crazed and sick at the same time.

I have never gone bungee jumping before and I don't think I ever will. My son did this thing a few times called THE EXTREME WEB where they hook you up to a harness and you bounce on a giant trampoline and you can do flips and stuff. He loved it.

bungee jumping off a bridge - Bungee jumping is fun, but adventurous. Those brave people can do it.
Hello Shar. Bungee jumping is fun, but very adventurous. I don't dare to try it, but I have seen people enjoying themselves from bungee jumping off one of our high and local bridge over the road. I feel nervous while watching them do so. I don't think that I will ever give it a try.

Oh no , bungee jump is not for me. In my younger days, I used to take part in athletic races and also hurdle jumping races. That was the highest I could jump. Bungee jump is just not the kind of jump I will enjoy. Scary, scary !!
