THE TEAM

Expert staff and managed equipment

Throughout the hour‑long session expert staff manage safety and the bungee equipment, supporting the jump and recovery phases.

What the day feels like

What the jump feels like

Over roughly an hour you are prepared by staff, fitted to the system and then moved to the 40‑metre platform for a jump performed in complete darkness; the lack of visual reference sharpens awareness of the drop and the rebound.
