Bloukrans Bridge

The Bloukrans River Bridge Bungi site is one of the highest commercial bungy jumps in the world. At 216 meters high it is enough to take your breath away. Jumpers first start by signing an indemnity form before being strapped into their harnesses. You can get to the middle of the bridge in one of two ways. You can either take the cat walk which is attached to the side of the bridge or you take the quick way, the Flying Fox. In the middle you get prepped again before making the mind blowing leap. On the photo you can see a guy jumping. The cord is just visible as a thin white line under the bridge.
