#29 Bungee Jump

Okay well I didn’t actually bungee jump, but I’ve done something similar to the point I want to cross of this goal because it was close enough.

See bungee jumps have the big drop and all the bouncing around. What I did was just the big drop and no bouncing around.

I went camping near the Royal Gorge a while back (and I mean a while back, as in end of 2020, that’s how long I’ve been debating whether to count this as a completed goal) and I convinced my father to join me on a zipline tour around the Royal Gorge. He had never been on a zipline and it was right after the first time I went. I enjoyed ziplining so much that I knew my dad would love it. He did.

I know, what does all this have to do with a bungee jump? Well it turned out the final course of the zipline was a race to a platform that was about 50ft off the ground and the only way to get off this platform was to jump. Instead of having a bungee jump cable they had something called a FlightLine. Which is similar a type of cable that lets you safely freefall to the ground, it’s absolutely wild and I highly recommend it.

Now it’s not a bungee jump, but I also jumped from really high up and put my trust in a rope once before already. Granted I may do a bungee jump eventually in the future, as for now I am okay with just my freefall experience with the FlightLine.
