BRIGDE SWING JUMPING

(PUÉNTING)

pendular jump from the bridge with climbing ropes

Are you brave? Would it be able to jump from a bridge?

Though it may seem a lie, go with us, a jump of the mode of brigde swing jumping, for example, will be one of the safest activities you can do throughout the day. Safer than staying home. But it is very exciting. And fear is passed.

Urban legends are talking about the danger of jumping. "Bungee jumping" or "brigde swing jumping" is one of the more expresions that fills the mouth when we put the example of a dangerous activity. But nothing further from the truth. If we do things right (following proper installation routines, information to customers, and come check) a jump is safer than smoking for a minute, drive a minute or even travel by plane a minute. While the feeling is not that one.

Have already been thousands of people who have been relying on our professionalism, have jumped under our custody and they all came out alive and kicking, even more, almost all fully satisfied, euphoric. Do not lie (it is not our policy), 2 people so far have repented after having made brigde swing jumping with us, not because something had gone wrong, but because the experience they proved too strong.

Beginning in 1998, on its own initiative, we started doubling absolutely all points of installation and security procedures (we are pioneer absolutely everything in duplicate and we believe that we are still the only ones). We can demonstrate that it is safer to be over a minute hopping from and hanging to our ropes that circulate in our car, or on a bicycle, especially on a motorcycle. And, of course, that smoking a cigar for one minute.

Knowing this would you dare?

The brigde swing jumping ("puénting" in spanish), is a pendulum jump from the bridge is done using climbing ropes. Do not confuse with the "bungee jumping" ("góming" in spanish ). This is done with considerably more fat tires that the climbing ropes from a bridge or crane, the fall is almost vertical and the material is stretched to values of up to 400%. While that in brigde swing jumping, the strings are stretched between 4% and 8% more (and until 40% in falls with climbing ropes). They are completely different, both techniques such as those experiences.

BUNGY JUMPING

If the bungee jumping is carried out from the opposite point of the bridge (such as brigde swing jumping) has another name:

PENDULAR BUNGY JUMPING

And if the swing jumping is done using bridge, that one or two other structures is called pendular jump or, simply, pendulum. But if it's as impressive as ours, jumping above the fixing point, is called:

SUPERJUMP

Contrary to what most people think, jumping from a bridge is not at all a suicidal action. Más aún, responde a una necesidad de las personas: la de superar o ampliar nuestros límites. Moreover, it responds to a need for people: to overcome or expand our boundaries.

Humans, thanks to the superior ability of abstraction that gives us our brains (as develops with age), we can imagine beyond our narrow physical limits, and achieve it. Since we are human, we have expanded our incredibly boundaries: we have achieved more force than any other animal, more speed, more depth, infinite distances, huge buildings... even serve as useful to us as possible. But, instinctive level, our limitations are there: we are afraid of heights, and jumping from a bridge (even tied two ropes) gives us dread.

The brigde swing jumping is an educational experience. On the one hand, the instinct paralyzes us, keeps us from jumping. But on the other, reminds us that our reasoning is a safe, joyful, that has made many people (maybe even before our eyes) and that has left happy, euphoric.

In our life we must often act against our desires, against our fears, surpassing. It is one of the characteristics of maturity: being able to face unpleasant moments in order to obtain a desirable goal. We can take the brigde swing jumping (or any of these modalities impressive jump) as a training in that field.

Cope with and overcome this fear, by contrast, makes us enjoy immensely, and therefore we do: to expand our boundaries. You may have to do with the rites of passage or transit that many cultures celebrated.

And you will see the seriousness, professionalism of our monitors, appreciate, I trust.

Of those who come to jump with our staff, almost everyone does it. Even people who come with no intention of jumping, seeing how we proceed, are encouraged, trusts. With us, only one out of every 203 people are split, with more than 24,000 jumps we have organized, only 123 people have been retracted. Less than 0.5%. Where else can you can provide similar statistics, so confident?

Is nothing more than trusting, yes, but inside you are revolvers all the demons: pale face, palpitations in the stomach, heart gallop, the hair-raising, you will not be able to say soon add 2 +2, your Members shall follow you with difficulty ...

Do not worry that you will stop the heart, is not known a single case of heart attack in the world (among those who skipped). Santa Adrenalina nos protege y Santa Cuerda nos salva. Santa Adrenaline protects us Santa Rope and saves us. Pray for them.

On one side of the bridge is placed who is going to jump, with a harness (two or three in our case) in the ending (usually) two strings. On the other side are tied the other ends, tighten, blocking, and makes the jump, the pendulum.

We moved the gravitational pull of Mother Earth, gravity, and accelerate 10m/s every second, dropping 25m in 2.25s and going from 0 to 70km/h!

The body vibrates, your heart jumps snag, accelerated respiration, blood pressure level, blood leaves the skin on your face color. No more blood in your veins, it is all adrenaline ... Three! ...Two!... One! ...Jump!

Breathing stops. The supply of voice is interrupted (except for a minority who becomes an opera singer).

Is nothing more than a minute (one, two or three seconds, depending on the fall) that might make you eternal. The rope, strained until recently, shrinks, your entrails up to your neck (and other bodies also in the case of boys), we have skin-edge, wire instead of hair...

And, suddenly, returned to stretched the strings, picks you up, you save the soil and take you to heaven (in this case also affect the endorphins), Felicity! The angels have your own face, they fly like you, squander the same feelings. Wholeness!

Jump again and again, headache, standing (back), subject to the feet, chest, from above the railing, alone or together, blindfolded, speaking by phone with a video camera in the hand or leg...

You'll an integral harness specially designed for jumps and grabs you around the trunk. También, al menos, un arnés de tobillo (dos si saltas de cabeza). Also, at least, an ankle harness (two if you jump head).

Each of these complete and proper harnesses grabs you to perfection, no hassles. Still, double (or triple) also this precaution, each harness will be connected by two ropes karabiners the two, insured, in turn, two rails, dual blockade, and check the entire facility at least twice before each jump. Total security!

We offer the greatest variety of jumps across the geography of the Spanish state (and from abroad share), from jumps of 10m Bidarrai to 105m in monstrosities like Cruzul (Lugo), passing in El Grado* 32m, 38m in Lugo, 20 Río Cofio* (Madrid) or 31m in Azkoitia* (Guipúzcoa). And, little by little, we are expanding the list.

Jumps in arterisco bridges marked with (*) are not traditional paintball breaks, but our invention (which we have patented) called:

DOUBLE BRIGDE SWING JUMPING
