Bridge Jumping
WILDTHING ADVENTURES, established in 1989, initiated
BRIDGE JUMPING in South Africa. Wildthing Adv. approach is one of safety
first and the crew is professionally trained. The only place in RSA
where you can experience this ultimate high of BRIDGE TO BRIDGE JUMP /
SWING is at the Gouritz River Bridge (between Mossel Bay and Albertinia,
about 350 km's along the N2 from Cape Town).
There are two ways of doing this
crazy activity you can just stop at the bridge to stretch your legs and
bend your mind or come along for a weekend package. We also offer
professional specialised corporate team building adventures.
What is Bridge Jumping
You are strapped into a very secure BODY HARNESS with
ropes attached to the opposite bridge. The jumpmaster will assist you to
take that giant step off the bridge platform,- FEET FIRST, literally
into thin air. After the spine chilling +/- 45m free fall reaching
speeds of up to 120km/h you break into a glorious PENDULUM SWING - at
this point you feel like you can conquer the world - and you realise
that no challenge will ever again be too great. Once your blood has
stopped rushing and your feet firmly back on solid ground you know that
you've just experienced something that WILL BE DIFFICULT TO TOP!
