World's Highest Bungy (aka Bungee) Jump

This jump took place in October 2005, off of the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado. At a height of 1053 feet, it's the highest suspension bridge in the United States - and the highest bungy jump in the world off of a fixed platform (i.e., excluding helicopters and such).

That was awesome, brings back some great memories....I was there also, as part of the AJ Hackett crew.......I actually was given the honour of being the very first jumper to test everything out(some say honour, I say I was the only expendable one on the crew) great job, have you done any other big jumps since?

@semy11 You guys did a great job -- especially when the winch broke. Sadly, I haven't done any big jumps since then (just a small one near Whistler, Canada).

how the fuck is he supposedd to get up again?

I didn't! After bouncing up and down for a while, I was hanging upside down about a hundred feet above the ground. I pulled a rope out of a sack around my waist, and lowered it to people on the ground, who reeled me in - all the while swinging side to side like a giant pendulum.

Do you have to have any prior bungee jumping experience before you can jump this bridge? I know it's only available during the go fast games but can any average joe do it. I go skydiving pretty often and I wanna try bungee jumping and I figure jumping off the highest bridge in North America is a good way to start lol

There seem to be different operators in different years. When I went, they asked a lot of questions about experience, but still allowed a first time jumper (a newspaper man) to give it a try.

I would do it with a parachute attached, just in case.

It must have been even scarier building that bridge.

[JustSergiu]
