Bungee Jumping



NaBloPoMo asks:

Would you ever go bungee jumping?

       I don’t even have to think about this one.  Hell no, I would never go bungee jumping even if someone paid me.  Whose brilliant idea was it to bungee jump anyways?  What kind of a fool pays big money to be attached to a bit of elastic and then catapulted off of a bridge or high building to dangle and bounce?  Obviously the answer would be the kind of folks desperate to appear cool that are thrill seekers looking for a rush.  




       I would never pay money to $hit my pants, possibly have a heart attack, and at the least scare the living be Je$us out of myself in front of an audience of people.  With my luck the bungee cord would break and I would end up a huge splat looking much like road kill.  No thank you, I believe I will pass.  I may be a few sandwiches short of a picnic basket but I reckon to bungee jump you would have to be a stellar resident at the funny farm.  Besides I speak fluent chicken when it comes to anything like bungee jumping, riding roller coasters , or any other insane scheme that could involve certain death.  More power to the daring few that take their lives in their hands.  I will never be one of you until next time when I give you another glimpse into the life of a trucker’s wife.



    What about you?  Feel like riding the lightning, tasting the thrill, and plummeting several hundred feet for the hell of it? Would you go bungee jumping?

    1. Beachlover, I watched several videos of bungee jumping on YouTube before selecting this one and they all freaked me out. One of them showed this older man who attempted it and when they pulled him back up he had literally crapped all over himself and was crying. There would be no way. I read that there are so many ways to become injured or even die. Thank you for stopping by to read and for your comments! ♥

  2. Oh hell no... no, no, no, no, no. Call me chicken and chicken I may be but to attach myself to rubber band? Seriously?! This chicken is happy scratching about in the yard with the thrill of just finding a worm or two... (In my case, a favourite chocolate bar and a good read makes me happy!):-)

  3. Oh HELL to tha NO!! There's no way I would ever hurl myself off a building/bridge/whatever on a piece of elastic calibrated by my WEIGHT!! I lie about my weight so often I'd for sure tell them "Weight" instead of my WEIGHT. Then I'd be screwed for sure!!

    1. MouthyBarberMom, it does certainly look like a death wish, doesn't it. I have no idea what I weigh and honestly I don't want to know. LOL I would be screwed and tattooed right along with you! Thank you for stopping by to read and for your comments. ♥

  4. Years ago I went to a Dead show and they had a crane set up in the parking lot for bungee jumping. There was no way I was trying it but lots of Deadheads were lined up to do it. More than one shed their clothes upon jumping too...you'd watch them leap off the top and see pants and shirts go flying as well. lol

    1. JoJo, LMAO that is funny!! I have been to fairs where they have offered bungee jumping using the crane set up too. Like you, there was no way I would do that but I couldn't keep myself from watching the people that did. Thank you for stopping by to read and for your comments!
