Whistler Bungee, British Columbia's
highest and most pristine year round bungee jumping site,
located 15 min south of world renowned Whistler Village Resort, off
HWY 99. Experience bungee jumping in the beautiful wilderness of
the Whistler Resort Valley nestled between old growth forests and
rugged basalt column cliffs. Feel the exhilaration of jumping from
a 160ft (53 meter) bridge spanning 300 ft over the glacial fed
Cheakamus river. Whistler Bungee has an unblemished safety record
and its jump masters and operators have over 17 years
experience.
Chest/Waist Harness: Jumping
with a chest and waist harness provides both superior comfort and
safety at the same time. The chest and waist harness keeps you in
an upright position throughout the rebounds and allows you to see
more of the canyon while you are waiting to be retrieved. Different
cords can be used for this type of jump to either give a faster,
higher rebound or a softer slower rebound.
Ankle Harness: The traditional way to jump, gives the ultimate adrenaline rush as you fall head first towards the river. We always use a softer cord for this type of jump so there is less of a jolt on your body when the cord engages. The waist harness provides a secondary safety harness and allows you to be upright while you are being retrieved.
Tandem Harness: Too scared to jump by yourself, or a romantic way for a couple to feel the rush together. Yes, you can jump tandem at Whistler Bungee. The way it works is that both jumpers are put in individual harnesses and are first hooked separately to the cord then hooked together as well. We recommend that the couple do not weigh more than 350 lbs unless you don't mind getting a little wet.
Disabilities: The great thing about Bungee Jumping is that almost anybody can do it including people with disabilities. The only thing that you need to be able to do is have pretty good finger and hand dexterity so you can attach the retrieval line to the harness system. The way it works is if you want to go off in your wheel chair we first put you in a waist and chest harness then we rig a separate harness system for the wheelchair. This way we put all the force on the chair and none on the person, this will not damage the wheelchair in any way. The easiest way to do this is we get 3 strong people to pick you up and throw you over the railing. Tons of Fun.
