Bungee Jumpmaster Training
Over the Edge, Inc.Many extreme sports such as Skiing, Kayaking, Racing or Skydiving demand that their participants constantly re-evaluate risk and make minor adjustments to safely identify and negotiate hazards along the way. Unlike sports that introduce random variables over the course of the activity, decisions in identifying hazards, calculating, rigging, and executing flawless bungee jumps must be made before any of the sport takes place. These decisions are often made on a windy bridge at nasty heights while dealing with temperamental traffic and spectators. Once the jumping begins there must never occur even a single moment of surprise, a lapse in concentration or circumstance in which safety factor is compromised.
We present each element in this training course to teach the technical aspects of Bungee Jumpmastering in a way that will raise the candidate’s level of concentration and confidence so he develops the ability to lead a crew and make decisions while under the influence of adrenalin.
Much different than the bare bones to begin a commercial jumping operation, this will give you that and a realization of what other goals you never thought possible. Being able to rig any reasonable platform and jump confidently and safely within practical limits with your crew is one great beginning to any of life’s new adventures.
The course in Idaho begins with an attention-getting leap from the 90-foot Beaver Dick’s Ferry Bridge in Boise. Riveted, you’ll travel to the 160-foot Glenn’s Ferry Bridge, the 360-foot Hansen and the 490-foot Perrine in Twin Falls. In an intense three days and nights the candidate will rig, re-rig, repel, rescue, jump, ask and learn from North America’s longest continuously operating crew on Idaho bridges where our great western style was born and may be viewed along scenic highways every day.
Though it helps for candidates to know something of rope mechanics, the only prerequisites are aptitude and attitude. Due to the nature of the sport we cannot guarantee to endorse any candidate. Candidates will receive a certificate of completion and letter of recommendation according to our evaluation at the course’s end.
