Last time I checked about bungee jumping in the UK it was unregulated and some people had become blind from veins popping in their eyes!

I would never do it here.

It's regulated in Cali. Not one injury in 20 years at this place. But yeah, what you described happen occasionally.

Yup, plus at least here it really isn't that expensive. And when you solo jump, no one will surprise sex you in the air - that's always a clear and present danger when tandem jumping. Laughing

If you spend the cash to get freefall qualified on your own, then you can do HALO for not that much more.

Bungee is fun in it's own way, but nothing compares to freefall and eventually HALO.

They offer some really cool stuff considering how dangerous HALO jumps are. They offer some packages where you do a water jump, and then scuba dive a bit in a reef. It's not cheap, but if you aren't special forces its about the only way to do that type of stuff.

Dangerous? All I see is mention of hypoxia and the usual skydiving stuff... Maybe the wind blows you off course...

HALO jumps are usually at 30k feet, and due to the extra equipment requirement - There is double the chance something could fail with the result of you dying. Be it in the oxygen supply, or the stabilizer chute.

Well, it's not fine if your oxygen supply fails and you pass out, or the stabilizer chute fails and you spin with such violence that you are knocked unconscious.
