Is Bungee Jumping Scary?

Yes, for most first-timers. The walk to the edge is longer than the fall in your head. After the rebound you are hanging on a cord. That is the product, not a failure of nerve.

If you want height without the step-off, a zip or a swing is the other ticket. Bungee vs Giant Swing vs Zip Line.
