Bungee jumping is undoubtedly one of the most thrilling, fun, and perhaps daring adventures out there—a challenge not everyone has the courage to take on. It demands both a brave spirit and a healthy dose of confidence. For adrenaline seekers and adventure lovers, it’s a must-try experience. Afterward, you’ll have stories and photos to show your kids one day, so they can see just how bold you were! This exhilarating activity is available both in Iran and in many other destinations worldwide.
In this exhilarating sport, participants plummet from the launching pad of a restaurant tower, suspended by a sturdy elastic cord, and engage in pendulum-like movements.
The exhilarating leap of bungee jumping
Experiencing bungee jumping can completely revolutionize your perspective on thrilling activities. Imagine this: after a long period of mundane routine and fatigue, you ascend to great heights, inhale deeply, and plunge into an exhilarating free fall. What could be more invigorating than this?
What is Bungee Jumping?
Bungee jumping is an activity that requires you to set aside your fears and leap from a considerable height. In this thrilling experience, your safety is ensured as you trust the harnesses and bungee cords securely fastened to you. You dive from great heights, and just as you near the ground, the elasticity of the cord suspends you mid-air.
In this activity, you might find yourself leaping from the top of a crane, experiencing jumps from platforms exceeding 30 meters in height, or even being lifted by helicopter before taking the plunge. The greater the altitude, the more exhilarating the experience, and the higher the rush of adrenaline coursing through your veins.
The moment of leaping from the bungee jumping platform
Bungee jumping is an incredibly lucrative and, of course, tourist-friendly venture capable of drawing numerous visitors, particularly in Iran, where thrill-seeking is popular. The construction of bungee jumping facilities can be tailored to various heights, with specialized designs led by Aria Gostar Pasargad Khavaran Company, a frontrunner in both conception and execution.
Of course, it’s worth mentioning that nowadays, the cost of constructing such projects is significantly high due to the expensive bungee cords and their installation. It’s safe to say that if this thrilling sport were to stand alone in terms of implementation, it wouldn’t be profitable. Bungee jumping only becomes lucrative when installed alongside a tower or a multi-purpose structure. Put simply, you can leverage the excitement and promotional value of bungee jumping to ensure the profitability of other tourism project options.

The inaugural individual to experience the adrenaline rush of jumping from the club’s platform was Peyman Abadi, a renowned Iranian stuntman known for his notable works, including the TV series “Warning for Kobra 11.”

Safety Tips
Whether you plan to bungee jump in Iran or try it somewhere abroad, there are some key tips to keep in mind.
When you’re set on bungee jumping, it’s best to let go of any doubts and commit fully, especially once you’re geared up with ropes securely fastened. Regret at this moment is the last thing you want! Think of it as a one-way adventure you’re determined to see through. Don’t look at it as something you can quit halfway if nerves kick in. Trust the jump instructor guiding you—they’ve done this countless times and know exactly how to help you enjoy the leap of a lifetime.
Do not jump with any provider!
Bungee jumping is a high-risk business, sometimes even called the “business of life and death.” It’s an extreme sport, so selecting the right company is essential. Don’t just go with the first provider you find. Take a bit of time to research and ensure they follow all safety protocols. Are they using the best equipment, properly maintained? Did you know that each bungee cord costs a significant amount? Check that they’ve invested in the right gear. A five-minute jump is worth a quick five-minute check of the company’s safety record.
It’s not just about jumping!
Some people assume bungee jumping is only about the leap itself. But, as with skydiving, location matters. Avoid jumps over valleys with jagged peaks; find a place with a beautiful view for a more memorable experience.
Note that glasses and contact lenses aren’t allowed on the jump.
Each bungee jumping site enforces specific height and weight restrictions based on its equipment, so be mindful of this.
Prior to ascending to the platform, ensure to inform the relevant personnel if you have any medical conditions.
Disclose any heart disease, high blood pressure, or bone issues to the operator to assess if bungee jumping is suitable for you.
Opt for comfortable attire appropriate for the weather conditions.
Remember to scream!
Shouting is not a sign of cowardice; bungee jumping is a thrilling experience, and shouting adds to the excitement.
Let loose and scream from the depths of your soul! Allow your energy to flow freely and be completely yourself. Celebrate this exhilarating and perhaps once-in-a-lifetime moment—a chance to embrace your fears. There’s an apt saying: “The best way to conquer your fears is to face them.”
If you seek the pinnacle of excitement, then take the plunge.
Don’t look down!
The first rule of bungee jumping is to avoid looking down (though many do!). Looking down can fill your mind with a thousand “what ifs” that detract from the experience. Instead, enjoy the view around you. Look at the horizon, and give yourself a mental high-five for having the guts to do this!

Where did bungee jumping come from?
According to legend, bungee jumping originated on Pentecost Island in present-day Vanuatu in the South Pacific. During World War II, Westerners set foot on this island and encountered something similar to today’s bungee jumping for the first time. It is said that a local man named Tamalie was tormenting his wife, forcing her to flee. While escaping from her husband, she climbed a tall tree to hide, but couldn’t escape Tamalie’s sight, who followed her. As Tamalie climbed the tree, she tied part of the climbing liana to her ankle. Just as Tamalie was about to catch her, she jumped from the tree. Tamalie also jumped after her but fell to the ground and lost his life.
After that day, the men of the village practiced jumping with climbing lianas to no longer be fooled by women. They built a 28-meter tower for jumping. Before jumping, the men performed a ritual bath and then went up the tower. At this time, the jumper’s spouse came to the tower and he had to listen to her arguments in front of all the villagers. After all was said and done, the man was forced to jump while facing the ground. This act somehow proved his manhood.
In the mid-1950s, a documentary was made about this ceremony, which attracted the attention of some, including several members of the extreme sports club at Oxford University. Later, bungee jumping was first initiated by these students in April 1979, with the mindset they had from this legend. This jump from the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, England, was made from a height of 76 meters.
When did bungee jumping become a safe activity?
Bungee jumping took on a commercial form in 1986 when people could safely pay for this thrilling experience. New Zealander A.J. Hackett made the first organized jump from Auckland’s Greenhithe Bridge. He continued making jumps from tall structures like the Eiffel Tower, helping to popularize bungee jumping as a public adventure. His efforts culminated in the opening of the first bungee center at New Zealand’s Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge. Hackett is now one of the most renowned figures in bungee jumping.
By 1990, bungee jumping had reached Africa, gaining widespread popularity. The highest jump site globally was then established at Bloukrans Bridge.
Westerners discovered this adventure and strange ritual in 1955, thanks to an article by Electa Johnson in National Geographic magazine. This ritual continues to this day and has even become a tourist attraction.
Today, with a legacy spanning over 70 years, bungee jumping is available in Iran and continues to attract thrill-seekers worldwide.

Where does the term “Bungee Jumping” come from?
“Bungee jumping” is an English term, with “bungee” referring to a type of cord and “jumping” signifying the action of leaping. Bungee jumping is a recreational activity where a person is secured to their ankles with equipment, then free-falls from a great height. The cord is designed to stretch significantly, allowing the individual to bounce up and down, akin to a yo-yo, intensifying the thrill and enjoyment of the experience.
Bungee jumping is undoubtedly one of the most exhilarating aerial activities worldwide, capable of pushing your body’s adrenaline secretion to its highest level. Hence, many thrill-seekers around the globe are fervent fans of this heart-pounding bungee jumping adventure.
Bungee jumping benefits
The benefits of bungee jumping are countless. It boosts confidence, strengthens nerves, reduces fear of heights, and brings a unique thrill. Even one jump can leave lasting positive effects. It’s a rare experience you’ll never forget. Because it doesn’t place much strain on muscles or joints, it’s even suitable for those with hip or knee replacements.
Medical checkup, then jump!
Bungee jumping has two essentials: height and a thirst for excitement. Without a height difference, there’s no bungee jumping. Those who are fearful, introverted, or passive generally avoid this sport. For those ready to leap, a medical check is required. With wrist guards, ankle guards, and durable cords, they’re ready for a free fall. Thanks to the cord’s elasticity, they’ll bounce back up after nearing the ground. This cycle continues until the cord settles, allowing you to return to the ground filled with energy and a sense of accomplishment.
Bungee therapy
The motivation for jumping from heights isn’t solely about adventure and excitement. Many do it to release negative energies and stresses. For instance, many athletes on the brink of crucial competitions find that engaging in this sport helps them shed all pre-game stress, allowing them to compete at their best. Therefore, if you’re aiming for success in your professional career, if you’re looking to make significant decisions, or if you simply want to maintain a happy and healthy mindset by relieving tension, bungee jumping is our recommendation. Of course, ensure the safety of the equipment at designated locations before engaging in this sport.
High adrenaline rush during bungee jumping
Over the past 40 years since the inception of this sport, numerous records have been set worldwide. Among these records is the leap from a height of 250 meters, which is remarkably awe-inspiring. While bungee jumping may initially appear easy, it’s far from it and can seriously challenge an individual’s courage and self-confidence. Spain boasts the world’s highest bungee jumping site, while a bridge in South Africa hosts one of the most thrilling bungee jumping experiences globally. Additionally, Dubai’s bungee jumping sites are among the most scenic in this sport.
If you’re looking to get the most out of your investment in your leisure and restaurant tower, bungee jumping is undoubtedly the perfect and unparalleled option that draws people in, even those who are cautious but eager to watch others take the plunge from high above. Alongside bungee jumping, you can capture moments with photography and videography, offering them as souvenirs to your customers. All of these aspects mean profitability for your tourist complex and leisure tower, something that Aria Gostar Pasargad Khavaran Company will bring to you.
