I finally got around to uploading my bungy jump to youtube. If this link doesn't work search "todd's bungy at nevis" and you'll find it.

If you ever get the chance (or nerve) go for it. It's completely safe and the greatest rush of your life...this was the next to last day of our Australia / New Zeland trip in April '08

Where is Lori's jump?

Awesome!  I've always wondered if I would be able to do it since I've had knee surgery.  How bad does it pull on your legs?

it's a very gradual stop, in this case the bungy was actually attached to the body harness at the waist. I did one the day before where it was attached to my ankles, but even then it wasn't noticeable. although one is rather preoccupied during that time and I could have just missed it!

don: Lori was in the jump pod which is a really big accomplishment for her... she doesn't do heights very well. Although she did say after watching me do it twice she almost thinks she could... I'm thinking that may happen the day after she's cured from getting seasick!!
