😳 New Zealand Bungy Jumping!! (or Bungee Jump) Can We Both Take The 154' Leap?!

New Zealand invented the Bungy Jump (or Bungee Jumping). Either way, those Kiwis seem to thrive on adrenaline! We love to experience local culture when traveling, so we couldn't very well visit NZ without at least considering taking the leap. Peter went right off, but John had a little trouble. Did he make it? Watch the video to find out, and see if you think you could do it!

[nancyf]

Nice to see no one took the walk of shame good job guys.

[evanmitton]

Awesome guys, we did this in Phoenix off a 200 ft crane, it is surreal feels like everything goes silent until you hit the end of the rope and shoot back to the top, glad you guys had the courage to do it! When you find the wynns tell them hello from their American RV friends, have a safe and fun vacation, the Mittons and their Kittens 😸 😻 👱‍♀️👱‍♂️

[suheinmoure]

That was flipping awesome!!!! Nice job guys :)

[FerroequinologistofColorado]

This is awesome! Looks like you guys are having a BLAST!

[joethecomputerguy]

I am with Cait and Tom I could NOT do it. Congrats!
Hope you get to meet up with Nikki and Jason.
Meeting friends on the road is simply awesome.
Coming to you from Grand Teton National Park, boondocking with friends since sometime in May.

Fantastic!!!! Now the question I have is if this would replace a chiropractic visit...do you feel any taller??

[Dieferdan]

Wonder if that would sort out my sciatica 🤔

[DWDinAtlanta]

Y'all had more nerve than I would and I know my hubby would have a problem! LOL

[jasoncarpp]

As much as I like to watch *other* people bungee jumping, there's no way in hell *I'd* be willing to do it myself.

[CruisingTheCut]

I think I concur with your original assessment of the idea! Yikes.

[LStofer]

There is no way that I could do that. It is like jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. WHY? OK, I will admit, it does look so exhilarating and fun, I still don't think I could do it. The climb up just goes to my point. WHY? I will just have to live vicariously through you guys on this one.

[rvhorizons]

I made my bungee jump in Queenstown October of 2007

[melindahutchinson]

Yah I with the Morton's I like my feet on the ground. Kudos to both of you especially John. I hate heights so the platform would need to be on fire to get me off. Looks like you had great fun it really looks like heaven on earth in New Zealand I hope to see it one day.

[sgit]

Note to self: eat dark chocolate almonds AFTER the jump. 😎👍

[MingoMoon]

That was crazy guys, don’t think I could bring myself to jump. Before I do a jump like that I would jump with a parachute 🪂 first. But agree that hike up looks like it would take it out of ya!

[SpykersB]

I’ll take the walk of shame, and then brag about it after with no problem 🤣
