I recently went bungy jumping. Has anyone else ever done it?

Last week I went bungy jumping at Taupo in New Zealand. I was on my way home from my aunts house in Turangi (just out of Taupo) with my grandma and she offered to pay for the jump, so there was no way I was going to refuse. This is something I have always wanted to do. Here's the video of my jump if you are interested.

I'm definitely doing this again somewhere else.

Yeah... In fact, I did it in exactly the same place. I still have my video but it was on VHS...

Ohh that's so cool! Did you enjoy it? I sure did.
It's a shame about your video although you could get it put onto DVD.

It was fun, though quite expensive. I didn't have any trouble jumping off, though for some reason I had to crouch rather than simply stepping off.

I just asked about security and fatalities and then took their word for it.

I tried to be amusing and flapped my arms like a bird on the way down (sort of Coyote and Road Runner style) but it looks quite silly on the video.

One day, I'll probably get some hardware and convert that (and a couple of other videos).
