What’s Involved in The Bag Jump?
The bag jump is an experience you won’t forget. Climb to the top of one (or all!) of the towers varying in height before your jump. You begin with the lowest jump before working your way through each platform increasing in height each time. The platforms heights include 3m, 4m, 5m and 6m – not everyone reaches the largest platform, do you dare try it?
Once you’ve reached the platform, the instructor will guide you on how to jump. From here, it’s down to you! Without any harness or gears, you take the leap to land safely onto the giant inflatable bag below.
