Is there more than one type of Bungee jump?
Yes. If you are a first timer, we suggest that you dive headfirst, bound at the ankles. This is the most common jump position and most natural feeling because it feels like diving into a swimming pool, except it’s the mighty Zambezi River racing down the Batoka Gorge 111 meters below the bridge!
If you are looking for a bigger kick, speak to the jump master and ask if you qualify for one of the following jump options:
Ankle tied back flip; Elevator; Running star – not for first timers.
Recovery System
After the client has jumped, a recovery operator is lowered down to the jumper, who then attaches a recovery line to the body harness of the jumper. Both the jumper and operator are then winched back on to the catwalk below the bridge. During this process, the jumper is pulled into an upright position.
Clients are attached to a safety line on the catwalk and checked by a senior jumpmaster before being escorted onto the bridge road-deck.
