would you rather BUNGEE JUMP OR SKYDIVE?

Question

SKYDIVE!!

Answer 1

3-2-1 BUNGEE!

Answer 2

I have skydiving six times and it is a blast... I would Think it would be fun to bungee jump because you would actually get a falling effect so i think that my be a little scarier.. Skydiving it doesn't feel like you all just falling because you leave a plane going 500 and you only drop at about 125 mph so it feels like you are flouting the whole time... Wicked fun though ... that is a toss up ... Skydiving last longer so would prob pick that.. but would like to go bungee jumping as some point.. It also depends on where i can go bungee jumping though. Cause i would like to do it off like the stratosphere tower in Las Vegas
Or some where really high up in good looking place

Answer 3

I won't bungee jump, but I did skydive once. When I was 19 a very attractive young lady that I worked with asked me if I wanted to try it. Well being 19 I of course thought she had the hots for me. So did one of the other guys that went. She didn't. She just liked to skydive and wanted to get other people into it. Oh well It was fun once.

Answer 4

Skydive! I've wanted to do it forever. I've been bungee jumping before. I want to freefall for several minutes and take in the scenery.

Everyone says its unsafe, but I disagree. I think it is safer than driving to work.. and I would certainly rather die skydiving than be another statistic. You only live once on this earth!!

Answer 5

Skydive--I'd never bungee jump.

Bungee jump has too many things that could go wrong that WOULDN'T kill you. You're not tied up right, the other end isn't tied up right, the bungee is defective, the bungee is for someone lighter than you, the bungee is too long...you get the idea. Then you break your neck, become paralyzed--but probably don't die.

Skydiving has one issue: chute doesn't open (or open right) AND the backup doesn't open (or open right). And then, you're pretty much dead...not living as a drooling invalid.

Answer 6

Skydive. For me it is all about control. When I make a skydive I have control over the situation. I jump with two parachutes. I have packed my main parachute, i have watched the FAA Riger pack my reserve. I know what to do if the main canopy malfunctions (which I've done once in my very young skydiving career). I do gear inspections before every jump; on the ground in the plane and right before exit. I also have control over landing. I'm piloting my parachute to the ground. I'm the person responsible for my safety in skydiving.

To make a bungee jump I have to trust someone else to make sure the cord is the right length, that the cord is in good shape, that the connection between myself and the cord is secure. If I had the time to learn about the equipment for bungee jumping then maybe I would make one. I don't think I will ever bungee jump, I will make a BASE jump some day soon. The more time I spend jumping out of planes the more I want to jump off a bridge or clif, with a parachute on my back that is. :)

There are a few websites you need to check out to get good info on skydiving.

http://www.uspa.org is the website of the United States Parachute Association, the governing body for sport parachuting in the United States. There is a list of member dropzones on the website along with all sorts of great info on the sport.

The official site for the British Parachute Association is: http://www.bpa.org.uk/links.htm
The official site for the Canadian Parachute Association is: http://www.cspa.ca/
The official site for the Australian Parachute Federation is: http://www.apf.asn.au/

http://www.dropzone.com is another great resource for everything about skydiving, including dropzones in the United States and the rest of the world, and some BASE too.

http://www.bigairsportz.com is the web site for Brian Germain, one of the best people on the planet to get information on canopy flight from.

http://www.skydiveradio.com is just fun and a good place to feel like you’re at the drop zone when you can’t physically be there.

http://www.azarsenal.com/ is the website for the top vertical relative work team right now. Arizona Arsenal won the 2007 USA Nationals.

If you’re not sure about skydiving but want to fly you should look at the vertical wind tunnels. http://www.skyventure.com/ is the website for skyventure which operates many tunnels in the United States, Europe and Asia. I love flying in the tunnel. I don’t do it very much, I’d rather spend my money on skydives, but it is a great place to learn, work on my flying skills and just have a lot of fun!

Make sure that you contact the drop zone you want to jump at directly. There are a few scams out there, one of which is 1800skyride. They will take your money and send you to any dropzone they want too but only about three dz’s in the country except skyride tickets. So please, please, please contact the dropzone directly.

The tandem is a great jump. I’d get video too. I made one tandem in June of 2005. In August of 2005 I came back to start student training (good info about student training at uspa.org) and got my license. I’ve been jumping as much as I can and have a few hundred jumps. I have earned the USPA Coach Rating and plan to continue to jump for fun and help teach others how to fly and be safe in the air. There is nothing better than flying your body through the sky with your friends. The canopy is a lot of fun to fly too. It only gets better and better. Every weekend seems to be more fun than the one before. You will get into the sport for the rush, but you stay because of the people. I love this sport and I sincerely hope that you’ll become a full time skydiver and I’ll be able to make some jumps with you at a boogie!

Blue Skies! Black Death! And EFS!!!!

Answer 7

Neither.
But if I had to choose, I'd jump out of a plane first before I'd ever let someone hogtie me to a bungee.

Answer 8

I think I'd choose hang gliding over both of them.

Answer 9

both
