I bungie jumped once and that was when Heritage Square still did it. The only reason why I could do it was because of the big air bag under it. Doing something like that Not!

Thats a shame.Ive seen several set up and ive never once not seen them do a dry test to confirm all measurements. Maybe in over his head?

Too sad. That's extreme. I bought Britton a pass for two jumps (off a crane) when we lived in Florida as a Valentines Day gift! He loved it, and it was pretty funny, but I'll never buy a gift like that again.

Never done that one but the one at Elitches is a blast. I've watched the set-up videos and they do dry test run with a sand bag. He apparently did not. Now I'll never get to 'cause they closed it to that activity.

To true Chris, the line is a bit cliche', I too have no desire to die, especially by mistake.
