Other Helpful Tips to Remember
— From: singaporetravelholic
Bungee jumping is a nerve-wracking endeavor, so if you ever feel anxious and a bit scared, here are some tips that might help you calm down.
- Try not to overthink it. Skypark Sentosa is a reliable company that always makes sure that their equipment is up to par to keep you and other jumpers safe. Just breathe in and out and then jump—it’ll be over in no time.
- Wear comfortable clothing. I highly recommend avoiding skirts and dresses because you’ll be upside down. You can wear shoes, but so long as they’re closed; otherwise, you’re better off jumping barefoot.
- Don’t eat too much before your scheduled jump. If you do, there’s a chance you might throw up during the moment. Save the big feast for after you’ve jumped and crossed off bungee jumping from your bucket list.
