Jumpers get into their harnesses after signing in and then get a safety briefing.They then follow a path down to a catwalk attached to the side of the bridge that will take them the 200 metres to the middle of the bridge. Here they are met by the jumpingpersonnel who will attach jumpers to the bungy cord before doing the count down. 5…4…3…2…1…BUNGY
Bungee jumping in South Africa has earned a global reputation for its claim to having the highest commercial bungee jump in the world. Positioned along the gorgeous Garden Route, the Bloukrans Bungee Jump will send you plummeting 216m, headfirst, towards the bottom. Because of the extreme height of this bungee jump, a full body harness is used, instead of the traditional ankle harness. The harness, combined with a technique called ‘pendulum bungee technology’, makes for a very comfortable jump – considering the fact that you’re jumping off a 216m high bridge.
Oribi gorge,KwaZulu-Natal.
The Wild Gorge swing is an awesome experience that leaves you breathless but exhilarated. Situated at the top of Lehrs Falls, it is the highest swing in the world. (There is also a 100 meter absail alongside a waterfall). One steps or jumps off the waterfall to swing into the depths of the gorge in a 100m (equivalent to a 33 story building).Unbelievable! A full body harness is used to allow for a comfortable ride. Race the water droplets from the falls if you have the nerve to jump. Fully qualified personnel are on hand to prepare one for this experience.
Oribi Gorge on KwaZulu-Natal’s south coast is a haven for adventure and nature-lovers alike. When it comes to abseiling in South Africa, few sites can match the rush offered by Oribi Gorge’s Wild Abseil. At 110 metres high, it is one of the highest natural commercial abseils in the world.Abseilers are lowered over the edge of the gorge, right next to the spectacular Lehrs Falls, and then drop the 100-odd metres into the valley below. The first 45 metres is a cliff abseil and the remaining 65 metres a free abseil.
Graskop Gorge Bungee Jumping,Mpumalanga province
Experience the adrenaline rush of the world’s highest cable gorge swing with a 68 metre (18 storey building) freefall. 0-160km/h in 2.3 seconds! This is not an upside-down bungee jump – your are strapped into a full harness in an upright position.As a potential bungee jumping site, Graskop Gorge offers you a peerless freefall from a height of 18-19 stories of Foefie slide. As you leap off, the cord will take you across the entire width of the gorge in a single sweep. Catch the spectacular beauty of the Graskop Falls as you trail across in the super-fast zipline like a bird.
So lets hope that all those brave,crazy guys check out these extreme sites.
