[DeTomaso] Bungee Jump off the Bridge to Nowhere - July 5 - NPR

[RKMosier at aol.com]

Mad Dawg,
 
It was the KAWARAU BRIDGE BUNGY just outside of Queenstown New  Zealand.  43 
meters was the jump tied up at the ankles by a pretty New  Zealand girl named 
Gwendolyn,.  I did not dunk my head because it was still  winter and there was 
ice in the water.  Seemed a little cold for  that.  I went down there for 
work and when I left my wife said "I know you  are going to do it even if I ask 
you not to."  One of my bosses said he  would go if I would and off we went.  
He chickened out but I went and every  now and then bring the video to work to 
rub it in.  _http://www.bungy.co.nz/index.php/pi_pageid/17_

The biggest rush ever.  Got a cool T-shirt and video also.  If  they offer a 
video get it.  It's worth a million laughs.
 
I called my wife after and when she answered the phone she just said "You  
did it didn't you?"  She loves to tell her friends. 
 
Does this count towards not being a slacker?
 
Jumped when I was 44 years old 8 years ago,

How far was your drop and where was  it?

For  my 60th b'day I'm surfing in the morning and bungee jumping in the  
afternoon!

The jump is off the "Bridge to Nowhere" (Angeles Forest  near Azusa). Its a 
150' drop off a bridge into a ravine on July 5th. This  is the only 
outfit(Bungee America) legally certified to jump off a bridge  in California and its an 
unforgettable experience. If you are man enough  (okay crazy enough) to want to 
jump let me know. Details are on the web  site. Do a google search for Bungee 
America. 

Getting there is half  the fun...You will forge a river 5-6 times on the hike 
up to the bridge.  If you are in reasonable shape you won't have a problem. 
but if you aren't  in shape, have bad knees or ankles or have a weak ticker or 
no heart at  all which is 97% of you slackers this is your excuse to stay 
home. ;-]>  If there is a rigging, harness or bungee cord failure there is enough  
water rushing over the river rocks below to erase any evidence of your  death.

P.S. Anyone who wants to join TPR after 2008 will have to  go.
