A week before bungee jumping I was nervous. Just thinking about launching off a bridge made my toes curl and not want to leave the ground. Despite feeling nervous, which is apparently very normal, I couldn’t wait to leap towards the beautiful Cheakamus River. As a first time bungee jumper I had no idea what to expect aside from the hopes of an incredible adrenalin rush.
Pure excitement ran through my body as the Coast Mountain Photographer snapped a few “before” photos of me on the ledge and then the count down began. I thought I was going to need a big push to get my cemented feet off the platform, but I guess the part of me that wanted to fly was much stronger than my nerves because I launched off the platform on three. I let out a scream followed by giggles. It was AMAZING. The feeling of just falling so weightlessly was incredible. I’ve never experienced anything like it. The cord didn’t snap or shock my body, but rather, pulled me right back up, almost to the same height of the bridge as a recoil and it felt just like a second jump! This time I was prepared and loving it, nerves gone! I spread my arms wide and just glided as I enjoyed a surprise second “jump” feeling. I didn’t want it to end. As I finally settled into a static position, the rope lowered and I knew I had to come back up. As I attached the carabineer to my harness I secretly wanted to ask to do it all over again!
Suz jumped with ease and giggles. We both agreed we would be back to bungee jump again! Once out of our harnesses we walked back to the cabin like building to check out our photos. They were incredible! I couldn’t believe that one photographer could jump around to three shooting locations to snap multiple images of my jump; we simply couldn’t leave with out them! Another surprise was the free Whistler Bungee t-shirt that each jumper receives. Bungee jumping was truly a unique experience that I cannot wait to experience again and again. If you’re thinking about bungee jumping, head out to the bungee bridge and watch a few jumpers come up with smiles plastered on their faces and you’ll be itching to give it a go for yourself!
