Maybe. It's not one of my "must do things".

I'm one of those people that enjoys the view from up high.

I'm one of those people that wonders: "What would it feel like to jump".

I'm one of those people that likes the idea of experiencing being weightless, if only for a few seconds.

I also think there's a lot to be said in life for facing your fears. But that's not a big fear of mine, so personally I wouldn't get that from it.

On the other hand, once in a while it does go wrong. Not that often, but it does.

And, well, life is short, there's plenty to do, and bungee jumping is not up there as one of the priortities.

No, I would never bungee jump even if it wasn't for recreations, it is way to scary for me and it doesn't seem safe enough.

No thanks,

1. I get enough adrenalin from a few cups of coffee or even from just jumping in a cold pool thanks!

2. I have kids

3. I have Kids

4. I have KIDS...

Oh yeah, and I get motion sick... :(

This guy's jump is funny - my point on motion sickness right here...even in another language...(Sorry for the @#%& in the title of the video...not my choice of words, but it does apply.)

I'd looove to try it one time! ^^

I'm not really a fan of heights but I've always wanted to feel as if I'm flying. I wish I could try it one day but of course I wouldn't jump off right away if the apparatuses they use doesn't look safe.

Nope not a chance. I have jumped out of airplanes, military days. At that time being young and dumb and full of @@@ it seemed like a great thing to do, you know manly and all. ( I was scared to death ) I will even admit I am not the brightest sparkler in the box, but trusting my life to a big rubber band and someone else's contraption doesn't sound like good advise. I can find a lot of other ways to find safer recreation. If it just an adrenaline rush, I get that by losing site of the grand baby. Heart attack no thanks. LOL

I would. I think it looks fun and it is relatively safe. I would like to do it at least once. Otherwise it will be something I missed.

We are only here once, so I usullay say to myself Go For it!!!

No, never would. I don't like heights and don't want my life to be decided if i'm secure on a bungee cord or not. Besides that, I don't need that kind of excitement.

I would definitely bungee jump, it's actually one of the things on my bucket list of things to do before i die. it would just be such an amazing experience, and the adrenaline rush would be amazing.
We only have one life to live so we mite as well experience what we can.
