[Laney88]

Wow epic jump is epic.

Don't think I could bungy

You gave me that funny gut, terrified im gona die feeling from just watching that vid. DAMN YOU!

Lol, fair play mate u got ballz of steel i would never do that as well accidents can happen and so if it did happen u have just jumped off 233m top willingly to ur death. Nope not for me.

 

[Ironic Namesake]

I'm not good with heights at all - maybe this would be a good way to get rid of that fear?

I might be in Macau soon actually .... but honestly don't think I'd have the guts to do that!

 

[Things change I've changed]

I'm not sure I could do that, I honestly think I'd prefer to base jump with a parachute than bungee jump.

 

[Deific]

I really want to do basejumping/skydiving myself, and funnily enough I'd have more trust in a parachute than a bungy rope. Relying on a stretchy cord doesn't seem too appealing
Don't know which is safer though.

Grats for big balls

Was thinking the same thing, I wonder which is the safer, I think people would assume the bungee cord but I really feel that a base jump would be safer, I wonder which is actually true.

Starting in 1981 and as of May 9, 2010 there have been at least 147 fatalities related to the sport.[14] BASE jumping is one of the world's most dangerous recreational activities, with overall fatalities in 2002 estimated at about one fatality per sixty participants. [15] Another study reported the fatality risk as 1 in 2,317 jumps over the period 1995-2005 in Norway only.[1

roughly one death for every 100,000 jumps for parachutes(not including the idiots who think they can base jump in crowded citys/areas),no idea for bungee

I was about to come in here and tell you that you didn't jump off the Macau they winched you off but then I realised you did!

When I did the crappy winch jump thing they had no bungee!

 

[jamesblade]

Good on ya m8, that's class, bet you was buzzing big time

Done 4 bungee jumps myself but all your standard UK crane height oh and one indoor at an old Sheffield steel works which was 150ft. Deffo something i think every one should have a go at, should make it part of the school curriculum

 

[Cool Breeze]

Good effort OP,

Not somet i'd contemplate my self. I think I'd faint at being that high up lol

 

[tres]

Congrats - that looks epic! I'll happily sky dive, but don't think I could manage a bungee

 

[bledd]

Think I'll stick to my girly cliff jumping

 

[apatia77]

Awesome, I wish it was me though

 

[lunarwolf]

nice welcome to the club. never jumped that high though, but as you know height isn't the scary factor, it's how close you get to the ground

BaseJumping is far far more dangerous than skydiving, even pro skydivers with thousands of skydives have died basejumping!

Looks excellent mate. I'd like to say I'd be all over the idea like a cheap suit but I think when it came to it I'd be as far away from that tower as possible.
