Today I went to do a bungee jump- the biggest in north and south America at 120 metres I think. I was fairly nervous going up but when I got to the top I was so scared. I was confident that it was safe but it was just so high that I started having doubts. I know from when I jump off diving boards that it ususally takes me about 5 mins up there to psyche myself up. However, the longer I stayed at the top, the more nervous I got. I was battling with myself about whether or not I was actually going to do it. In the end, I just couldn´t bring myself to do it even though I knew I would loose all my money. I didn´t care. I dont know how it is so popular and I always thought of myself as brave but I just couldn´t.
They took pity on me and let me go back up half an hour later. On the way up, I kept my eyes shut the whole time and just kept repeating the mantra to myself, "1,2,3, jump". When I got to the top, the guy half pushed me off which helped. I know this isn´t very common to say, but it actually wasn´t that enjoyable. I wouldn´t go around reccommending it everyone. Im really glad I did it but I doubt I´ll ever do one again.
