New World Record in Bungee Jumping Inspires Gift Ideas

On 26 September 2010, James Field shattered the old world record of 19 jumps in one hour, set in South Africa in 2003, when he jumped off a 160-foot crane 42 times.

2010-10-23

LONDON, ENGLAND, October 23, 2010 (Press-News.org) Extreme Element, Guinness World Records and the UK Bungee Club teamed up to help James make history. His goal was not just to break the old record but to set a new one that would be really hard to beat. That is exactly what he did.

James says the performance of the exceptional ground crew with the smooth rope changes and the excellent crane driver, Bennison, allowed him to really go for it and set such an incredible record. He said that, although after about 15 jumps he was feeling a little nauseous, he got over it and was in a steady rhythm by the end. The job of Scott Mathers, the Jump Master, was to be in the cage and make sure James was all right before each jump. James told Scott that he would tell him if he wasn't okay and otherwise he should just keep throwing him out. James says the record will be pretty hard to beat because of the awesome crew's help.

Although James Field's new record will be hard to beat, you or someone on your Christmas list may be interested in jumping just once. Extreme Element can not only make that experience possible, but completely safe and a lot of fun too. They offer a wide selection of bungee jumping packages and are prepared for first-time jumpers, as well as those who are back to jump again. With the exclusive central London tandem bungee jump at the Tower Bridge, in addition to the absolute thrill of the jump, the jumper will also see the gorgeous London scenery from an unforgettable angle.

Extreme Element also offers a wide variety of experiences such as skydiving, zorbing, track days and many others. Because many people keep their adventure wishes secret, it may be hard to choose the perfect thrilling experience for everyone. Fortunately, Extreme Element offers Christmas gift vouchers so recipients can choose for themselves.
