Fantastic clip!

Rick Hansen is AWESOME. He's a Canadian paraplegic who started a foundation for spinal cord injury here in Canada. I remember seeing his bungee jump on TV here when he did it and I thought it was fantastic!

Hi Twisted_Orphelia - just had a quick look at his site, as you mentioned it (http://www.rickhansen.com/)

Worth a read. A good guy by any standards.

Yeah Russ, i know Alex from the Back up trust, he's done loads of jumps. He's one funny guy.
I wouldn't mind doing a bungy jump, south africa or new zealand are the best, so if i was going to do it, it'll have to be one of them smile.gif

that looks like so much fun! It also would be easier having someone just roll you off. Otherwise i might chicken out!!!

I dont get why you would want to jump with a bit of metal strapped to you. Why not sit on the edge and fall off and leave the wheelchair at the top for when you get back?

I have a zipwire at work i use and i dont go down in my chair (we did it once to see if it worked) i just go down in a harness like everyone else.

Bungeed in Whistler Canada. They strapped m into the chair so that the chair took alot of the hit when the cord snapped back up. Loved it and will do it again if I get the chance!
