I jumped for my birthday a few months back (sssshhh, don't tell my mom). I went in a couple of days prior to scope the place out. At first, the staff seems slightly insane. At a second glance, they really are just a little off their rockers. However, in their craziness lies an inherent sense of fun and professionalism seemlessly blended in to a soothing and calming atmosphere that makes the fear of jumping off an 855 foot platform not so bad. They joke with you. They taunt you. They are loud and in your face. But they don't miss a single step when it comes to safety checks. They check you on the ground. They check you twice (two different people) up top to make sure absolutely nothing has been missed. They talk you through what is going to happen as you jump. They don't pressure you to do anything you don't really want to do. And when the time comes, they count you down and you jump. It was a thrilling experience. I was shaking for several minutes afterwards from the adrenaline. I loved almost all of it. All but the landing. Like an idiot I locked my legs instead of absorbing the impact by bending my knees. This sent a painful shock up my back. I ached for about an hour. If you go, bend your knees. That is my biggest advice to you. Oh, and opt for the HD DVD. It is worth it to hear the experience time and time again.
