One not in the know would visualize a person aged between 17 to 30, buff and physically fit, as the one who frequents bungy jumping locations and engages in this one of a kind adventure sport. Contrary to most beliefs, bungy jumping is available to all ages. The main criteria for one to engage in this extreme sport, is that they meet the physical and health requirements. Simple logic would imply that children are not regular bungee jumpers, but then there are some isolated and special instances. The same goes for senior people. No one is too old, just probably not physically fit. This statement comes to truth as the oldest bungee jump ever recorded was a 96 year old man by the name of Mohr Keet.
Young children are not completely restricted as other forms of bungy jumping are available to them. Over the years since its discovery, bungy jumping has evolved into different kinds of activities mostly stemming from its main concept. Bungee trampoline is one of the inspired variations that is readily available to children from age 5.
It really doesn’t take that much to enjoy this sport. Whatever age you are, in whatever profession, social status, the first thing you have to consider before planning to do a jump is your current health standing. Next thing to consider is cost. Prices start off at $60 and go up to as high as $200 depending on the location and adventure package.
What also makes this sport great and easy for anyone to take part in is the little amount of training that is involved, apart from standard safety briefings, there is not much skill to it. You just stand on the platform and jump off with a cord attached to your ankles.
Bungee jumping is fun for all ages because of the adrenaline rush that is not easily duplicated. With the anxious climb, to the nerve wracking stand at the ledge, it is almost too scary of a feat to not want to do it! To onlookers, it seems to defy all logic and sense of being safe. Hurling yourself in an open free fall from 120 feet off a ledge, seems pretty insane and nothing that people in their right mind would actually consider doing.
But that’s just it! It’s the thrill of doing something you know is safe and extreme at the same time! The exhilarating feeling that bungee jumping gives is way beyond any age. Young or old, you will surely enjoy this one of a kind adrenalin rush and will surely come back for more!
