Is bungee jumping an extreme sport?

Some people may ask if bungee jumping is an extreme sport? Bungee jumping originated in New Zealand and was originally a rite of passage for the Maori people. Later, with its development, it became a global sport and was loved by many young people. In Guangzhou, my country, people also call bungee jumping "bungee jump" or "bungee jump". The moment of bungee jumping can give people some magical feeling of relaxation, shouting, screaming, etc. Next, let’s take a closer look at bungee jumping.

Bungee jumping process

The skipper stands about 40 meters (10 floors) high bridge, tower top, high-rise building, crane and even hot air balloon, bungee jumping tie a long rubber strip fixed at one end to the ankle joint then with outstretched arms and legs together, upside down jump. The rubber strip tied to the jumper's ankle is long enough to allow the jumper to enjoy a few seconds of "free fall" in the air.

2. When the human body falls to a certain distance from the ground, the rubber rope is pulled open and tightened to prevent the human body from continuing to fall. When it reaches the lowest point, the rubber bounces up again, the person is pulled up, and then falls down again. This is repeated many times until the elasticity of the rubber rope disappears. This is the whole process of bungee jumping.

Bungee Jumping

1. Waist-tied back jump

Tie your waist, stand on the diving platform and jump down from the platform backwards. This is the first basic action required for beginners of jumping.

2. Tie your waist and throw yourself forward

Tie your waist, stand on the diving platform and jump down by lunging forward. This is another jump that beginners can try as their first basic move. This jumping method is similar to the waist-binding backward jump, but the jumper is facing downwards, so the real visual stimulation can be felt.

3. High-altitude diving with feet tied

The coolest way to jump is to tie the equipment to the ankle. The jumper stands on the diving platform face down, like a diver. After counting down from 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the jumper spreads his arms and dives downward, which is very exciting.
