ATTEMPT:

Adventure sports can get really exciting. Professionals who have been doing this for years still face a certain amount of difficulty while attempting them and exercise a lot of caution before they begin such sports.

I have always wanted to try out Bungee Jumping. I have seen numerous videos of people who have done bungee jumping and have always visualized the same for myself. Jumping from a cliff or a very high altitude gives one a massive amount of adrenaline rush. I too would love to experience the same thrill and rush.
I first heard about it when I was ten years old as a cousin of mine had gone to Himachal Pradesh and attempted it. He had narrated the entire account of how unnerving it felt right before the jump and how his feelings had changed to those of exhilaration once he felt suspended in the air. It was a lifetime experience that very few people get to experience. 

I plan on doing bungee jumping when I go to New Zealand in four months.  I have heard that the country has one of the best facilities when it comes to this adventure sport and that the professionals out there ensure that all the safety parameters have been met before they let a person jump off the cliff. 

Bungee jumping is unlike any other adventure sport in the sense that it doesn’t require you to do anything other than maintain your calm. The entire work is done by the professionals and they have to remain very vigilant throughout the sport. You just need to remain composed and feel as relaxed as possible. You feel this tingling in your stomach until the time your body is lowered and it is one of those few feelings that cannot be put to words.
