Exilerating!!!!!
The site at the Kawarau Bridge is the first commercial Bungy jumping site started by A J Hackett.
This one is a 43 metre jump.
The jump is not for the faint hearted. The first scary thing is that they use an old bathroom towel to wrap around your ankles and then tie the cord around that! No proper shackles!
There are different things that you can choose to do. ie, not touch water, just touch water, head in water. Or backwards, forwards or even tandem.
When you finally do the jump, you dangle over the river and someone in a raft/dinghy hauls you in. Not very elegant.
You then lie there while they untie you. The cord is hauled back up and the raft takes you to the edge where you are left to walk back up to the top.
Of course you can also buy a dvd and photos of your jump and you get a tshirt to say you have done the jump.
There are other jumps in the area too.
