Things You'll Need:
- Bungee Cords
- Harnesses
- Hooks
-
Step 1
Choose appropriate jump locations. If the location hasn't been jumped from before, you don't need to be the first to jump it. Take into account that established locations are safe and tested. Leave the stunt jumping to experts and professionals.
-
Step 2
Maintain quality equipment. First of all, purchase quality equipment by paying attention to ratings information and advice from experts. Purchase equipment from specialty stores or websites. Keep the equipment in a location where it's protected and out of the weather. Check your equipment before each jump for wear and tear. NEVER jump with a cord that's raveling or worn. Have spare equipment on hand.
-
Step 3
Get advice. No matter how seasoned of a jumper you are, always be up to date with current information, tips and advice from the experts in the field. Contact experts personally, subscribe to magazines and publications specific to bungee jumping and join bungee jumping groups online.
-
Step 4
Take another jumper with you when you go. NEVER go by yourself. The other person can help you get back up after your jump. They can double check your equipment. They can help you troubleshoot your jump. They can call for help, if there's an accident.
-
Step 5
Hook up correctly. Don't hurry with the process of hooking up and preparing to jump. Measure off your cord precisely. Don't estimate. Hook into your harness correctly. Don't scrimp on time or equipment.
-
Step 6
Jump smart. Don't try to stunt jump. Leave that to the professionals. Be focused when you are about to jump. Jump far enough off of the bridge or platform that you clear it. Don't do anything you know is unsafe or risky.
