Huntly? Isn't that the guy who tried to get political asylum in Canada.

If it is he sure has turned his life around.

Bloukrans is really cool. I'd definitely jump off there again.

I'm not in need of adrenaline so badly for me to do a bungee jump.

When you see youngsters and the aged doing it you realise it can't be all be all that bad,but I'm still not gonna do it.

I think id rather jump out a plane than Bungee. Dont know why, just seems safer lol

Even if I was not aware of the health risks the safety risks would be enough to put me off trying something like this.

It's strange, our sense of what is and isn't too dangerous.

A jump at Bloukrans is expensive.. on the order of R600 a pop. I wonder who paid for his almost R65000 jumping expenses? It could even have been more if they booked out the bridge and crew for the entire day.
