002 Bungy Jump

Week 1:2 
This is one challenge I never thought I would do. I remember being nervous and trying to not think about it.

My friends (Carl and Joel) were trying to play mind games with me. They had this great idea that I would freak out and wouldn’t be able to do it. So they would put a bucket on my head so I couldn’t look and then just before I jump they would remove it. What I didn’t know is that they where planning on pushing me off.

I had asked not to get wet. So I wasn’t really listening when they were explaining the safety procedures and what to do if you hit the water. I remember hitting the water. I was on such a high I realised a couple of minutes later that the high I was feeling was not the right one but the feeling of a delay concussion on my head. My eyes were all puffed up and I felt like I was in a different land.

“I never thought I would do it but i managed to jump - I just didn't look down until I jumped. I managed to get minor delayed concussion after i hit the water (puffed up eyes). I also got soaked from my head to just below my knees when all I asked for was to touch the water.”

Comfort: very scared of height
