    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    When I was a younger man, sure, but I've got enough back troubles now, probably not.

    I'm not going to lie, I hate heights, and therefore, I would bot have the guts to try it. I woud be too afraid the cord would snap.

    did it once in college

    absolutely weightless..........moving at warp speed...........upside down...............staring death in the face.............then, SIKE!..............you bounce like a super ball

    guaranteed to be the most exhilarating moment of your life

    you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet

    That would have killed my buzz.

    Check this out, in a place called Pentecost in the south pacific, a tribe builds their own tower made of wood and bamboo and stuff, and they bungee jump using vines from the jungle.

    I'm pretty sure this is now written into life insurance policies has a non payout in case of death

    I’m scared of heights but part time, I can do ladders and unsafe stuff on them ect.. but when it comes to stupid heights I’m not really cool with it. That bunji jump would be a no go for me.

    Yea, that's a good idea...bungee jumping with jungle vines.

    Just hope none of those vines are defective. :p

    Vines, no.

    My guess is they saw too many Tarzan movies.

    If all the posters on CU (that includes TDN) put up all the money they had.

    I wouldn't hesitate...to say no.

    Try jumping out of a perfectly good airplane at midnight. Now that was certainly a surreal yet exhilirating experience. Long time ago but I still vividly recall the experience. I would NOT do it today though. Those days I would have jumped out of a plane with a laundry bag and rifle strapped to my back. These days, I am low speed, high drag. B)

    Never bungeed but I've dropped out of a plane 6x. I'd do it again if I could drop a few lbs and not fear a landing on a replaced hip and a knee that isn't 100%.

    Brody is totally right....100% pure adrenaline. First time I dropped I was smiling and awake on the adrenaline rush for a couple days. Cheeks hurt like hell with an ear to ear grin that long.

    Im all set on the bungee jumping.

    as far as jumping with vines? there must be someone from the Darwin awards on site at all times when that activity is going on.

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    I think Swayze might take offence to that, ha!
