Bungee jumping done in the world

Bungee jump in Taipei 101

Do you know bungee jumping? It is one of the activities that has become enjoyable all over the world now, but it was originally a coming-of-age ritual in some areas, and it was done to show courage and be recognized as an adult. It's interesting because it's now one of the entertainments and it's enjoyed all over the world. And bungee jumping is as simple as jumping from a high place, and you can do it anywhere as long as you can ensure safety. Moreover, because it is topical, it was held in Taipei 101, which is said to be the highest in the world, and it became a hot topic.

The height of bungee jump in Taipei 101

Currently, the tallest building in the world is the Burj Khalifa, a skyscraper in Dubai built on January 4, 2010, but until then, Taipei 101 was the tallest, with 101 floors above ground. It was an incredible 509.2m. It's a TV event, but it's very scary because you jump from that height. After the broadcast, it was quite exciting, but fortunately or unfortunately it was concluded that general participation was NG. Even so, it was done once, so it is not asserted that it will never be possible in the future, and the possibility may remain.

Price of bungee jump in Taipei 101

So what would the price be if it were possible? The entrance fee to the observatory is 500 yuan for adults, and if you convert it to the current Japanese yen, it will be quite high at 9500 yen. Considering this, when doing a bungee jump, considering the equipment and safety, installing equipment etc. will take twice as much. It's a ridiculous amount for those who aren't interested, but when you look around the world, it's actually average, and it costs money to balance thrill and safety. This is expected, if at all, but I'm sure there are people who would love to bungee jump if it happens!
