Double the Eurobungy Fun

admin — Thu, 03 May 2012 08:34:32 +0000

We’re doubling the Eurobungy fun for 2012 with two Eurobungies. Throughout the festival weekend visitors will be able to take on the super trampoline and jump over two stories high.

The Eurobungy uses multiple bungee cords attached to a harness (in which the jumper is safely secured) which super boost the traditional trampoline experience, giving a gravity defying ride that has all the adrenaline of bungee jumping, but none of the risk. Anyone from 30 pounds to 200 pounds can Bungy jump and bounce. Each person is safely in a harness that allows them to bounce over 20 feet high, and for the most daring, do front flips and back flips.
