Bungee Jumping UK

Bungee Jumping is not quite as new as it seems. The original Bungee Jumps have been performed by natives of the Vanuatu Islands in the South pacific for centuries as part of their manhood ritual. Originally the men leapt from high bamboo towers with vines attached to their ankles. 

Modern Bungee Jumping

The world first discovered modern bungee jumping in 1979 on 'April Fools'day. Four bungee jumps happened simultaneously from the 'Clifton Suspension Bridge' in Bristol, using bungee cords.

Extreme Sensations worked closely with the original management of The Uk Bungee Club, developing modern day bungee jumping equipment to create the safe operation of bungee jumping in the UK.

The type of Bungee Cord developed and used and developed by Extreme Sensations Bungee Club is intrinsically redundant,being composed of individual strands of latex Rubber,there are four bungee jumping cords in our bungee jumping System. Each cord is matched to the individual jumpers weight to provide the most comfortable bungee jumping experience. Each cord stretches over four times it's own length to provide a very smooth deceleration together with fantastic rebounds. 

Bungee or Bungy?

In New Zealand the word 'Bungee' is spelt with a "Y" 'bungy'. The word Bungee was first used when Gliders were launched using Giant Bungee Cords to assist take off.

World Record Bungee Jump

Extreme Sensations also helped with the 'World Record Bungee Jump', which was the highest ever bungee jump that was performed by Ian Ashpole of Flying Pictures,bungee jumping from a hot air balloon 13500ft high.

The team have also performed the worlds first Motor Bike Bungee Jump at Knarsbough over the River Nidd at Mother Shiptons Cave for 'Perfomance Bikes Magazine' and 'Yamaha'.
