Bungee Jumping

Hi everyone, yesterday my grades were complete and I magically got 91 in my English class. Believe me; I don’t know how I did that. Next Wednesday I’m getting seventeen and for my present I ask to go to Cola de Caballo and make a bungee jump. I would tell you how everything goes next week. Bungee in a way is similar to BASE jumping because with the both of them you make a free fall. So in this blog I would tell you more about bungee.

The difference between BASE jumping and bungee jumping is that in this activity, it involved jumping from a high surface while you are attached to an elastic cord. One end of this elastic cord is attached to the jumper’s body, while the other is attached to a stationary object at the jumping point. Typically, bungee jumping involves leaping from jumping points that are several hundred feet or meters high. The elastic cord used in this activity is designed to stretch during the jumper’s fall and snap back up rapidity. This causes the jumper to bounce up and down over the length of the jumping area until the energy from the jump has been depleted. Successful bungee jumps can be attributed to the development of safety standards and the strict adherence to guidelines for jumping. (Wisegeek)

So I would tell you in my next blog how is the feeling of developing this kind of sport.

LET’S GO, WHEREVER YOU JUMP; TAKE ONLU PICTURES, LEAVE ONLY FOOTPRINTS!
