How to Prepare for a Bungee Jump

Bungee jumping is an exciting, adrenaline-packed extreme sport. If you are properly prepared, it will be an unforgettable experience and a story to tell forever. Follow these simple steps to avoid a potentially unpleasant and disappointing experience.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Money
• Weather-appropriate clothing

1. 
    

   Be well-rested. Getting a good night's sleep ensures that you will appreciate the jump to the fullest.

2. 
    

   Avoid heavy drinking the night before the jump. Being hungover is a good way to ruin a bungee jump.

3. 
    

   Eat a light breakfast. Blowing chunks during the jump will almost never be a good thing, but it will be especially unpleasant if you have a lot of food in your stomach. Where do you think the vomit will end up?

4. 
    

   Wear proper clothing. Bungee jumping can be cold. Dress slightly warmer than the weather would suggest. For example, if you would normally wear just a t-shirt and shorts, bring along a windbreaker.

5. 
    

   Spit out your gum before you jump. You may involuntarily open your mouth on the way down, and the gum could easily end up in your hair.
