2019 Macau bungee jumping precautions and prices

If you want to choose bungee jumping, of course you have to choose the highest one. Of course, people who are tens of meters or hundreds of meters will not consider it. Anyway, it is all one word: jump. So the editor searched the Internet and the highest bungee jumping location is in Macau, China. So why not hurry up? Let’s take a look at the price of bungee jumping in Macau and some precautions!

Price There will be slight fluctuations depending on the time, but it is basically around 3,000 RMB, which is much cheaper than buying it directly at the Macau Tower. The package includes: tickets to the Macau Tower + bungee jumping + a photographer who will take some photos for you during the process + a GoPro strapped to your wrist to take photos and videos.

Show your Taobao reservation order and the person at the ticket office will give you a Macau Tower ticket. Then take the high-speed elevator up to the observation deck and see the bungee jumping front desk. After registration, I signed a consent form, which roughly means that I voluntarily assume all responsibilities. PS, if you want to send a package, remember to bring some banknotes, because there is a fee for sending a package (this is probably one of the points that needs to be complained the most. The bungee jumping fee of 3,000 has been charged, but there is still a package fee? exo

me?) Small lockers cost AU$/HKD, large lockers cost AU$30/HKD, and they only accept banknotes.

The official rule is that you are not allowed to bring cameras or mobile phones (I don’t know if you can put your phone in clothes with zipper pockets and bring them to the platform), watches and bracelets will be required to be removed. Glasses are absolutely not allowed (you can wear contact lenses. Some highly myopic students will ask if not bungee jumping will cause retinal detachment. My left eye is 650 degrees and my right eye is 900 degrees. It should be very high. I wear contact lenses. Now I have passed it. It has been three days and there is still no discomfort, but please consult an ophthalmologist (everyone’s situation is different). It is also recommended to remove other jewelry that is easy to fall off.

Then it’s time to dress up. You will be asked to weigh yourself first. There is a weight limit for bungee jumping. I don’t know how many kilograms it is, but if you are basically not very fat, it should be fine. If you are not wearing qualified shoes, official shoes will be replaced free of charge. Then you will be put on the black equipment in the picture, which is used to hook the rope.

The temperature in Macau is only over ten degrees Celsius, and the wind above the tower is howling and freezing. The bungee jumping company will lend you a jacket for free to protect you from the wind, but it is extremely wide and does not fit well. Therefore, if you want to have slimmer curves, it is recommended to dance in the summer or bring your own tight thermal underwear of the same style as Jun Ji-hyun.

The guardians on the left and right will let you sit on a chair and help you put on various equipment. Then at this time, the photographer you purchased in the package started to take pictures (the picture below was taken by her). However, I would like to remind everyone that since the photographer has to take photos of N people every day, the content, number of photos and angles taken by each person are all process-based, so basically his shooting is a clock-in style, rather than the pursuit of taking pictures of you. Gotta look good. Therefore, the following pictures are standardized pictures, and everyone's position and angle in the picture are exactly the same. Therefore, for those students who are interested in photos, you can replace the poster in the picture with yourself, and then rehearse your poses and expressions in advance, so that when she shouts "Look here" and then click (basically only 1-2 seconds ), you have prepared the best pose. There is no chance for you to take another photo and then your legs will be tied together. Then wear GoPro on your right wrist to automatically take photos and videos for you during the fall.

I will focus on the feeling after jumping (because everyone has different feelings about falling, I will only describe my own feeling, and you may have a different experience if you jump yourself). I don’t remember what it felt like when I fell down. I believe my brain was blank at that time, so there was no sense of tension or excitement.

As for the feeling of weightlessness, it is really not that strong! This is my biggest discovery! It is completely different from falling 60 meters on a roller coaster! The roller coaster has a strong feeling of heart hanging and being squeezed. You will feel heavy, but you will float up from the seat, your butt will leave the seat, you will scream, and you will use your whole body. Anyway, he is not so handsome, but blue and thin. Based on my limited knowledge of physics, I think the body of the roller coaster will give you a greater acceleration than a free fall, pushing you downward with an acceleration greater than one g, so your discomfort will be greater (if I am wrong, physics Experts please correct me)

But bungee jumping is a pure free fall (although the rope is a little heavy, it is not too big), you just fall down without any burden. Only in the first 1-2 seconds of falling, you will feel a little weightless, but it is completely incomparable to a roller coaster. There is basically no or only a slight feeling of heart discomfort. If you can even endure roller coasters, the feeling of bungee jumping is completely fine. It's just that the wind is very strong, and you can hear the wind blowing by your ears, so loud that it's hard to open your eyes.

The conclusion is: as long as those who have overcome their fear of jumping will smile after coming up; but those who have not overcome their fear and dare not jump will sit on the small iron plate and cry. Therefore, bungee jumping is not a test of your body's tolerance against the feeling of weightlessness, because the discomfort is really something that everyone can bear. But what it tests is your courage in that moment when you stand on the small iron plate and fall forward.

After I finished, I realized that the most terrifying thing was not the fall itself, but the unknown future of 233 meters below my feet.
