Bungee Jumping Tips

Check your clubs qualifications
Before embarking on any extreme sport you should always be assured of the suitability of the operators. Are they BERSA affiliated?

Don't try anything fancy
Advanced acrobatics are a part of bungee jumping but, for the first few times, you will want to leave these to the experts. One of the most common bungee jumps is a straight forward swallow dive that will end with your head point downwards and your feet in the air. Discuss the type of jump you want to do with the jump master, as it may be affected by the type of harness you wear.

Don't look down
Every instinct in your body will be screaming out for you not to jump. A good way to control this according to some bungee jumpers is to look straight ahead and imagine you are diving into a pool.

Watch out for rope burn A common minor but nevertheless painful injury can be caused by rope burn. To avoid this keep some clothing between the rope and your skin - but don’t cause any tangling. Again, the jump master should make sure you are made as comfortable as possible for your bungee jump.
