    It wasn't my intent. I was dropping off an Air Jamaica magazine with an article in it for the lads running the jump. We had met them at dinner the night before and they all had Bungee Jamaica T's on. The owner (an American friend of my resort owners) and the jump master got into a bet that I wouldn't jump. Next thing I knew, I was 120 feet in the air and hearing "1-2-3 Bungee!" I was leaning out, but couldn't let go. The perspective made it look like I would jump onto the power lines. "Don't look down!" "I don't have a problem looking down. I have a problem letting go!"

    I leaned back, took a few deep breathes and reminded myself that they had had 250,000 jumps without an accident. I just leaned out and did a swan dive. It's a big rubber band so you just sort of decelerate. Then you accelerate back up. "Ahhhhhh!!!! I'm gonna hit the basket!" Nope. Just bounce up and down a few times. Then like a phone cord, you start spinning. The ground crew shouted to put my arms out to my sides and I slowed down like a figure skater coming out of a triple jump.

    My legs were like rubber as I strolled down the beach with my new "Bungee Jamaica" T-shirt on.

    "You did the bungee?" a guy asked. "Yeah, mon!" I said as I continued the walk back to Cosmo's with a much steadier gait and my chest puffed out.
    I would do this in a heartbeat.

    You'd have a lot more heartbeats along the way, too! It was such an adrenaline rush that I really couldn't savor it until that night as I sleeplessly reconstructed the whole thing. It was cheap, too - 3 jumps and the T for $60. I only did the one jump. My wife couldn't watch so she dashed for the water and dove in to hide her head. Better than the sand! An added benefit was that it was the best back adjustment I've ever had in my life. Try getting 3 back adjustments and a T out of your Chiropractor for $60!
    We're all in this together and none of us is getting out alive.
