220m or about 720ft.

Has anyone tried this and if so what was it like? I'm thinking of doing it next month but I'd like some opinions before I book flights and whatnot.

I did a bungee jump on Saturday and absolutely loved it and intend to take it up as a regular thing so if there are any other bungee jumpers here it'd be cool to hear your thoughts on it all. :)
 
Anyone who has done it has got bigger balls then me! Is this the biggest possible bungee in the world?
 
Crikey that is pretty high, would be cool to replicate a bit of one of the best Bond films though.
 
I think im quaking just thinking about what it would be like. I hate heights lol.

Gluck with it, and remember to do a vid and show us all when u get back.

I think it's the second highest. There's one in Macau which is a few m higher I believe.

Last week I'd have crapped myself at the thought of it but I got such a reading off the puny jump I did in comparison that I'm absolutely hooked.
 
He joked and said he'd push me off if I chickened out. There was no need though, I couldn't wait! :D

Awesome part of the world. In amongst the Swiss alps, the scenery and weather was absolutely amazing. Pity the place is so damn expensive otherwise I'd be back in a heartbeat.
 
Quality of that vid is rubbish but I have a better one uploading now. Hear me roar :D

I did one about 7 years ago for charity, was 250ft. did it jumped as a chef (as I am one) scared the living hell out of me. Mind you I don't like heights. The guy at the top of the crane just said "just walk out when your ready" oh yeah,,,,,So anyhow I did and it was a great feeling. even my chef's hat stayed on :)

They wrote to me some months saying they were doing the biggest in the UK of 500ft would I be interested ? NO way!

Was good though. Certainly something a little different.

But good god Scuzi. That looks close to the rocks. I know it won't be. But from the video it certainly looks close.

isn't is a rush as well...
