How does bungee jumping work?
Bungee jumping is an activity that consists of jumping from a bridge (as its name suggests) securing yourself with a harness and two dynamic ropes. The jump is actually a big swing, swing style, where you are attached to the bridge using a harness and ropes. The movement that occurs during the jump is pendulum. The ropes are secured to one side of the bridge and jumped from the other side.

What does it feel like to jump off a bridge?
The sensation is quite intense and the experience is unforgettable, making you release a lot of adrenaline, especially when you decide to jump... there is an accumulation of sensations that fill your entire body!
My own experience... a bit anecdotal!
I was going to jump on a bridge near the city of Lugo, but when we had everything ready, the police came and it seems that some permits were missing from the center where we were going to do the activity, so we couldn't do the jump that day. .
They told us to travel the next day to the area of the Deza river, approximately 5 km from Silleda (Pontevedra), on the Silleda – Vila de Cruces viaduct. But since we could not have a vehicle to travel to the new jumping area that day and due to the inconvenience caused, they invited us to go with the bungee jumping organizers in their car and to be able to do for €45 all the jumps that we had time to do or we would like, instead of the €30 that the first jump usually costs, or €40 for two jumps.
Our jump was from a bridge that is 50 meters high and the jump was approximately 25 meters.
The activity included all the material approved by the CE, advice from the guides regarding jumping and coverage by Civil Liability insurance.
The duration is more or less 2-3 minutes per activity, between jumping, swinging and recovering the position.
It was an experience never to be forgotten! It is a way to get into the world of sports adventure for little money and with an unparalleled adrenaline rush!
