So - I jumped off Macau Tower

Sin_Chase · 12 Sep 2010 at 23:28

Well, it's probably the most crazy/insane thing I have ever done. It induced nerves you cannot imagine being prepped for the jump but I did it. It was amazing.

The absolute worst part is when the gear goes off the platform support and it pulls down on you, as you shuffle towards the edge your shoes feel like they are about to slide out from under you. Mine were actually moving ever so slightly as I shifted weight to be able to shuffle :eek:

I will be making a full blog post for anyone who is interested in the intricacies and how to go about getting there/doing it etc. I HIGHLY recommend it for anyone who is close to Macau/Hong Kong. For now enough talk and on with the good stuff!

Update Edit - Full blog post/detailing for anyone who is interested

Here.

Macau Tower (The big one)

Lots of safety gear...thank hell!

Yup....all 233metres down from this point

Quiet contemplation.....

No going back now

Yippie-Ki-Yay....

Still not out of free-fall.

And done!

Just how 'effective' would the grey cube thing at the bottom be?

Edit - nice work btw. Looks pretty fun.

I have sweaty palms just looking at those pics in sequence. Fair play to you for doing that!

Dear Lord, that makes me feel sick looking at those pics. Heights - do not want.

Good effort OP!

“I hope I come back up here afterwards”

You have to be insane. Fantastic and well done.

It's just covering up the stain.

I got sweaty palms just watching that!

Oh great, somebody ejaculated off the bungee jump spot again haven't they?

Tsk..

SlugForAButt · 12 Sep 2010 at 23:36

WOW!

It makes my palms a little sweaty just watching your vid.
I salute a braver man than me.

Uhm - Zero?

I think it's just for when you get taken off the bungy to walk off at ground level.

out of interest, was it expensive? I'm off to HK on Thurs and should be in Macau for a couple days next week

neoboy · 12 Sep 2010 at 23:39

I would love to do something like that!

Morba · 12 Sep 2010 at 23:41

sunlitsix · 12 Sep 2010 at 23:41

~£130 for the basic jump, ~£225 for the full DVD/Photo service etc. Get a sweet 3 panel folded certificate too with a picture either-side, something to put on a wall

PapaLazaru · 12 Sep 2010 at 23:44

Fair play to you sir!

I have done the Nevis myself but to go higher, in a built up area, off a tower, must have been insane!

dustofnations · 12 Sep 2010 at 23:45

I was expecting distinctly more screaming! Well done

G-MAN2004 · 12 Sep 2010 at 23:47

Nice one, looks pretty awesome. I'd love to try it. :cool:

The Wynn Macau looks ugly compared to the one in Vegas. Looks like they just rushed it.

Sin_Chase · 12 Sep 2010 at 23:51

The tall gold tower in these pics is the Lisboa. I do have pics of them all closer also though

I thought it was quite a looker, at least - not ugly

radderfire · 12 Sep 2010 at 23:51

Not for me thank you, but glad you enjoyed it.
