To jump or not to jump... that was the question.And jump I did.
Not only did I jump, I did it big. The Nevis Bungy in Queenstown New Zealand is the largest bungy in New Zealand and the second largest in the world at 440 feet. You jump from a jump pod that is suspended on a wire the middle of a canyon, free fall for 8.5 seconds, and stop 15 meters above the river below. I was intensely scared in the moments before the jump, but once I was falling it was an amazing feeling. I wasn't scared anymore, and surprisingly a sense of peace came over me. It was amazing to see the scenery flashing before me and the wind rushing by me as I fell. It was over very quickly and before I knew it I was bouncing back up. After a couple more bounces, they brought me back up the jump pod where I could celebrate.
