Congratulations Grant Denyer
Possibly the wrong place for this but anyway, Grant Denyer jumped into the Guinness World Records book with a 300-metre double bungee jump from a chopper over Bondi Beach.
Longest-ever bungee jump and apparently the first-ever double bungee over made in Australia. Congratulations to the "Garden Gnome". |

When you say "double" bungee do you mean two people at the same time? I have video of my wife and I doing just that about seven years ago.

I heard on the news yesterday that a bloke in America joined a bunch of ocky straps and tied them around his leg and jumped off a bridge. Problem is, the joined straps were a fair bit longer than the distance from the bridge to the ground below.
Another one for the Darwin awards......... |
