Bungee-Jumping in Málaga (Puerto de la Torre)



Your pulse is quickening and you feel your heart in your mouth. You start shaking and a cold sweat is dripping from your forehead. Your head feels completely empty..... adrenaline!

Bungee jumping in Andalusia. Have you got the guts to do it?

High quality active tourism in Andalusia.


Description:

Your heart seems to burst but your brain is telling you that this is not the right moment.

The image of jumping from a height of 263ft. (80m) into empty space only attached by a piece of rubber on which you will be bouncing up and down, inevitably makes you ask yourself:

Am I crazy?

But this jump into empty space is more than just craziness- it is a challenge. If you decide to jump you are going to challenge yourself and overcome your own fears.

Security:

Every jump involves at least three people: the first person is up on the bridge or platform, the second one is on the ground, and the third one is you jumping. To avoid accidents two cords of the same quality and length will be used. The perfect condition of all cords and harnesses will be double checked before every jump. The length of the cord is an important factor. There has to be a minimum distance of 16ft. (5m) between the jumper and the bridge or platform

The jump:

Once on the bridge you will stand close to the edge. The ground is pretty far away, isn’t it? When you jump your head will come as close as 65ft. (20m) to the ground... do you still want to jump?

There are different ways of being harnessed: around the legs, around the waist at the front or at the back. The first jump is usually done with the harnesses secured just above your ankles. All in all you are secured three times: around your thighs, below your knees and with a harness around your waist. The cord is secured to a fixed point on the bridge .... and at least by the time you are getting harnessed you will be starting to sweat.

Here is the moment!

When climbing onto the railing you will realise that there is nothing in front of you anymore that you can hold on to. The feeling of defencelessness paired with the attraction of the empty space cannot be described with words. Your body is undecided between wanting to jump and the sensible thought to leave this railing immediately. Your position is upright. Our staff help you to get on the railing and when you are ready they let go of you. This is the moment: you are shaking, your heart is in your mouth and your throat is completely dry. Shall I jump, yes or no? Don’t think too long ....

You are jumping forward, head first, your arms crossed above your chest and you are flying. Within 4 seconds you reach a speed of 90km/h (56m/h). On its maximum extension the cord is just 65ft. (20m) above the ground.

Only 4 seconds which you will never forget for the rest of your life. When you stop moving to and fro you will give our staff a sign and they will lower a crane to which you will secure the hook of your harness.

Back up on the bridge your whole body is shaking. After this flush of adrenaline you are so euphoric that you cannot even put into words what you have just experienced.
