Go bungee jumping

“As I stood up on the platform, I had a minor panic attack, but steadied myself with calm breathing exercises. I inched my way towards the end of the jump platform, and did the wrong thing… I looked down. Never do this! I couldn’t believe how high I was, it was so much more of a drop compared to what it looked like from down below. [...] I managed to convince myself that bungee jumping would feel fine and stepped off with my eyes closed. You fall through the air in free fall, and I had to open my eyes at this point. I was falling like a star fish which probably didn’t look that elegant! I could feel the wind rushing past me and into my eyes, and the adrenalin was insane.”

“I had a smile on my face, but when I got to the jumping platform, I felt paralysed by fear. I could barely move. But I didn’t question the safety of the ropes. It was the feeling of having to jump into space from such a height. [...] It was just a split second until gravity grabbed us, and we started falling. Then I didn’t remember anything until we reached the water. I don’t know if I passed out or if it just happened so quickly that my brain couldn’t process it. But I was probably fully conscious because Petr told me later that I was screaming the ‘F’ word all the way down!”
