Bloukrans Bridge, South Africa
Feb 21, 2008


The "before" shot, the group nervously poses.

“Been there, jumped that!” Now a common phrase you will see plastered on souvenir clothing purchased by some adrenaline-rushed site 3ers!
Six weeks into the second semester and 26 brave souls took the plunge. Down, down, down, all 216m (709 feet), of the highest bungee jump in all the world. Despite the fear of heights being present for many, it stopped few. With chest harness on, we crept along a grated walkway, where once we arrived to the middle of the bridge our names were randomly selected. With the music loud and the energy high, I heard my name called! After catching my heart which had suddenly sunk, I was strapped up, helped to the edge as the countdown “5-4-3-2-1 Bungee” was cheered by my team and with arms extended, gravity took hold.
It’s an indescribable feeling as you are falling. A weightless, carefree, terrifying feeling. And being left dangling from your ankles for a few moments waiting to be retrieved was anything but boring. Once you reach the top you just want to do it all over again!

There's nothing like the support of cheering from your friends as you jump!

Rachel and Megan weighing the options wondering if this is really a good idea after all!

Is it a bird, is it a plane... or is it Johnny the fearless leader in a Superman Costume?
