just found out that this isnt the highest jump...the highest is the one at 220m high Verzasca Dam above Lake Vogorno

its the one James Bond jumps off in Goldeneye



the big plus point to this one is flights to Switzerland are a lot cheaper than flights to South Africa, makes it a lot more possible to do this jump

I don't think I could even look over the side of that bridge, let alone jump off the fucker.

I can imagine the rush, must be so totally awesome, but it's pointless me even thinking I could ever muster the bollocks to do that, there is no way on god's green earth.

I did a 50 meter one in Cannes, Australia. Gave such an amazing adreneline rush which i never really expected. Jumped out a plane at 17,000 feet the day after and was still nothing on that 50m jump

Theres a 134meter one in New Zealand I want to do next
