Well we all survived. It was pretty scary getting a little cable car out to a pod in the middle of a canyon. Further still knowing that soon I would be jumping from that pod for no apparent reason. It didnt help that the pod in question had a glass floor and sweyed with every movement.
As one of the heaviest I was thrid to jump. A little nervous one might say I think I had the look of a rabbit in headlights. I edged over to the ledge and on the count of three leaped into nothingness. I managed to perform a scream reminicent of Barry White singing according to eye witnesses. Still the bungy didnt snap and we all made it safely. My foot release mechanism failed so I had to be winched back up upside-down.
Then onto a Sky Dive. Another tremendous Barry White voice for my concerningly depressed jump instructor but a much more beautiful and enjoyable experiance. Especially the glide down - very serene.
All in all its been an action packed few days. We're going to calm down now with a nice mountain walk. I cant help looking up at them though and wondering "I wonder if we could attach a bungy rope to that..."
