Skydiving vs. bungee jumping?

Question

I've always wanted to try skydiving, for some reason bungee jumping has always seemed scarier to me. I plan on going skydiving sometime this summer. Which one do you prefer and why? My friend wants me to go bungee jumping with her, but I feel like I'd be more likely to jump out of a plane than off of a bridge. Your thoughts on the matter? Would it be easier to do one after doing the other?

Answer 1

For me it is all about control and what I have control over. By skydiving I have control over my parachute, canopy flight and my safety. In bungee jumping I would be relying on others to set up the cord correctly. For me, I'm not willing to jump without some more training and information about bungee jumping. I love skydiving and I would jump off a bridge with a BASE rig. Again, this would be my pack job for the parachute, my canopy flight, etc.



I love skydiving! I hope you make your jump and start jumping!
