Great ready for your bungee jump. Once you have reached the jumping platform 160ft up and you are brave enough, take a look around at the awesome skyline and the drop below. You won't have too long though as the next thing you will hear are these heart-stopping last words just before you leap... '3..... 2...... 1..... BUNGEE!'

Bungee jumping is the ultimate adrenaline rush and the experience of a lifetime. It's up to you which way you go - forwards or backwards. Whichever style you choose, look before you leap and as you hurtle downwards towards the ground it really will leave you breathless!

Then as your heart is racing with the sheer excitement of it all, you'll soon feel the pressure on your harness and you know that the bungee cord has done it's job. Suddenly you're heading back skywards on your first rebound and you will be flooded with an amazing sense of euphoric achievement.

This is surely the world's most crazy high-thrills sport and there are many terrific locations all over the UK where you can take the high jump off a crane peering into the sky at a dizzying 160ft above the ground. Can't get enough of the leaping and falling? Then check out our main bungee jumping page for more thrills of a lifetime.

Of course this is an extreme sport but that does not make it dangerous! The experience of many thousands of jumps has been used to define safe methods of bungee jumping and to draw up a code of safe practice. This code was created in consultation with the UK government's Health and Safety Executive. So enjoy the excitement in the knowledge that your are in safe hands.
