Action Junkie. Adrenaline Junkie. Adventure Junkie. Thrill Seeker. Daredevil. And so on. Call yourself whatever you want. But if all you care about is getting your heart pumping and experiencing intense thrill and excitement tinged with a little fear, then I have the right sport for you. And it’s bungee jumping. Bungee jumping offers a unique combination of thrill, adventure, and adrenaline.
Picture yourself standing at the end of a tall structure – bridge, mountain, tower. You look down and hundreds of meters below, river water rushes by or you see green vegetation in all their glory. You jump off the structure, head first into the unknown with only a long rubber rope attached to your ankles for safety. Excitement rushes in, fear rushes in, and adrenaline floods your system. Some would say it’s exciting, others would say crazy. For some, it’s the best thing they’ve ever done.
If all of the above appeals to you, then it’s time you go bungee jumping. Bungee jumping has been around for some time and has become one of the most popular adrenaline sports around today. There are several bungee jumping destinations around the world and this article focuses on places you can go bungee jumping in Arkansas.
There are no bungee jumping destinations in Arkansas. But fret not, there are places you can bungee jump in neighboring states. Here they are.
