What are the weight requirements?

Most locations require the jumpers to be between 90 lbs and 310 lbs.

What clothing is recommended

Any comfortable clothing is fine, you will be fitted with a rock climbing style nylon seat harness and a chest harness. Therefore, it is good to have a shirt with a collar to avoid the little "harness hickey's" on your neck from the nylon chest harness. Any footwear is fine - you can even have the option of jumping barefoot if you wish.

Do you jump in bad weather?

Most companies call off jumping during bad weather. This is because of the inherent dangers of poor visibility and uncontrollable wind patterns raising the risk of injury. Rain, snow, residual wetness and ice can cause slippery conditions that impacts reliable operation of the equipment.

How long should the bungee cord be?

The cord needs to be a lot shorter than the height your bungee jumping from to allow for stretching during jumps. A normal shock cord stretches more than 2 times its length during a bungee jump. An all-rubber cord stretches 4 times its resting length! Rely on the bungee operator's expertise on this one. It's a mathematical calculation you want to get right!
