Bungee jumping into the same river that Johnny Weismuller was supposed to have been killing giant alligators is probably not the smartest move.


Swede!

Are you familiar with this Swede! ?

THE BEEF knows this is not for beginners, however there seems to be training available. THE BEEF needs to try this, are there any GetBiggers who have jumped and if so, would they consider this?

THE BEEF

I guess it depends on what you want to do.. Just out of a plane? that probably doesn't require a solid 1000 jumps. Basejump with a suit however. People die all the time doing that. One little misstake and you're too low to open the parachute anyway. Like in the video.. thats a 1000+ jumper.  Just do a few Normal jumps from a plane by yourself at first. that's probably more then enough if you havet done it. And that takes some training also. you dont just go and buy a suit..

I think it's aroun 150 jumps before you put on a suit and try it.. from a plane..

You have more than 150 jumps ? "

Maybe she should rappel down back into the kitchen?

Just saw the story, she was uninjured, she managed to swim to the river bank almost totally underwater, pretty amazing, one tough girl.

she's been admitted to hospital with severe bruising and internal bleeding now...so i guess she wasnt "uninjured"...

STFU, "stu".

For a getbigger, bruises and internal bleeding IS uninjured, most people here have worse sides on their cycles and still go to train legs.

I hear bungee cords can only be used like 3 times then they must be replaced - but that's in a first world country. In a third world shithole you can expect that costs will be cut.

Well, in a 3rd world shit hole you might as well jump off the bridge as we clearly saw in this clip.

She clearly had no "racist" concerns about the competency of the locals.
