Which do you think is easier for a first-timer?

Question

I’d honestly never bungee jump and I kinda lost interest in skydiving. But i’m feelin like stupidass bella in Twilight and i wanna try cliffjumping. What are the chances of accidentally hitting a rock or hitting the water too hard that you might not be okay after? Cause i really ain't tryna die. I just wanna be able to breathe again #FeelFreeToList

Cliff jumping. I've done that. Wasn't that hard. Though I will say this. Know how deep the water is and of any obstructions before doing it. 😆 also you're jumping from a great height. Start flapping your arms as soon as you enter the water to slow your descent, NOT BEFORE you can break your damn arms. Also as I said since you're jumping from a great height you're going to go deep if you ain't careful and you could drown before you get back to the surface (I'm not kidding!). The first time I did it no one told me this. Two things I remember about it 1. You go so deep you feel the water temperature change in a instant from the warm surface depth to the the deep cold water. And I remember thinking where is the surface I should have surfaced by now. They say the majority of the people that jump off the Golden Gate Bridge don't die from the impact but rather from drowning.

As someone who has jumped from fairly high up (30-40'), I would say the best bet is to go to somewhere that you know lots of other people have jumped in the same spot, and also to work your way up. Do some jumps around 10 feet to 20 feet first. If you are literally diving head first, start even lower around 5-10 feet and get a good amount of practice in.

I do feet first for anything over 20 feet. My technique is to cross my ankles and point my toes, and keep my knees a little bent so that when I touch the water, they can bend and absorb the impact. Having ankles crossed is to create a barrier/ break in the water, so that my genitals don't get hammered. My mom jumped off a 20-25' with me one day and she said that water slammed up inside her painfully, so be careful (even with a suit or shorts on).

It's a lot of fun, enjoy and stay safe!

I used to cliff jump when I was 8-10 years old. I would head to the "cliffs" in the nearby provincial park and dive/jump off them. The were about 50 ft high.

I would often make a bit of cash betting people I would do it. Show up when there were a bunch of 20 somethings contemplating it. I would back away a few times and look really timid about it. My brother would say, I bet you 5 bucks, and the 20 somethings would try to get in on the bet.

Little did they know I'd been off it 100's of times. I would head to the park store and fil up on candy afterwards or grab a burger or hotdog. LOL

I've also been bungee jumping and would likely do that over again. I've been 3 times in the past, the last time about 10 years ago.

Never been skydiving and doubt I would ever jump out of a plane.

Lynx122 · Answer

Skydiving is probably the easiest because you can get strapped on to a pro and they do everything. But it's probably more expensive. Bungee jumping can fuck you up a bit at the bottom is what I heard ^^ and cliff diving it deends on the cliff. Usually the popular places will be pretty safe but there's always the chance something can happen.

Paul_in_Indy · Answer

Cliff diving can be quite dangerous. Skydiving for the first time is not as exciting because you have to jump tandem. Doesn’t get really great until you are certified to jump. I have not bungee jumped, but it seems like some thing that is designed for the first time experience with no prerequisite

Rosexøxø · Answer

I don't know for sure, but I think parachutes come with a back up one and the chances of them being a failed chute are extremely low. Pulling it probs always has the same time frame and so it’s pretty much smooth sailing without the water.

The jump dissent seem to secure and probably has serious repercussions on the body. The dive requires someone to have diced first and many times, to prove it is a good spot. Going around high tide is probs ideal. 🌚🌝

kellytheman · Answer

I honestly think bungee jumping would be cool for a first time they actually have some of those at the fair maybe not as high though and it all supervised by professionals. I wouldn't mind jumping off a cliff in a deep water lake or pond and skydiving woukd be my third.

richardcory · Answer

Bunjee jumping is very safe. Skydiving OK, cliff diving has serious risks. I've done the first 2 but the third is more risk than I'm willing to take.  Do it if you want but be aware of the dangers.

Lliam · Answer

Parasailing is thrilling yet safe.

LovingJo · Answer

For me, it'd be sky diving... But, if you're gonna do rock diving then go to a registered/known place, where it's known to be as safe as possible. Check out out, do research first etc. Then have fun 😘

RavVid · Answer

I have done parachuting. Tandem parachute jumps are safe. Cliff diving - go to hell. Bungee jumping, I'll want to check their calculations - and there better be some :)

Anpu23 · Answer

As I've only been cliff diving I can say its just fun. When I was a kid in Vegas we would often go out to Lake Mead and cliff dive. Sometimes in the middle of the night.

electromagnetic · Answer

I honestly couldn’t even tell you. I’m scared of all that so nothing sounds like an easy for a first timer.

Nikki1989 · Answer

I bungee jumped once and while it was a huge adrenalin rush, I will never do it again.

TrueConfection · Answer

Base jumping was something I wanted to learn, but not anymore. What about hang gliding? I've done that and it was a blast.

PointTaken · Answer

I've jumped out of planes in the army. In high school I've done cliff jumping. So much easier for me to do cliff jumping. I know what you mean about hitting a rock though. Almost did a few times.

slatyb · Answer

Bungee jumping is completely passive. Skydiving requires considerable care unless one is jumping for the first time strapped to an instructor.

exitseven · Answer

I heard skydiving is fun. You go tandem with an instructor so you don't even go to jump school.

RockyHammock · Answer

The burden of safety is different on bungee jumping and cliff diving is on you. Unlike sky diving where you go down escorted from start to finish. So, sky diving is the easiest.

SunnyRS · Answer

They all are great things to try, the riskiest being cliff jumping but you can try all without getting hurt, just go for the VR version of the same.
So you get the rush of the activity with 100 percent safety.

AviatorTom · Answer

I have no desire to put my life at risk in any of these.

SeriouslyFunny00 · Answer

Those are adventurous, haha! But if ever, Skydiving sounds fun. I'd suggest Scuba diving too.

The_Shadow_Dweller · Answer

I have the fear of heights. Not one of them at the moment.😶😅

iron_ninjs · Answer

I tried cliff diving. It was fun. Although, my friend didn't land well in the water and injured his shoulder. He had to have surgery.

ShadezMcgee · Answer

Skydiving is easier and more accessible than bungee jumping or cliff diving

najekim · Answer

I did the cliff jump a few times. But I got used to the idea by first going off 3 meter diving platforms and then 10 meter diving platforms first. Good to learn how to stop underwater also.

nawtee_me · Answer

Here you go. I would almost jump with you.

LovingLoverReturned · Answer

Cliff jumping... but depending how high I think the water will hit you as hard as rocks

LiamJHayden · Answer

I've gone sky diving. I will not go bungee jumping. I had a family friend get thrashed cliff diving so I likely won't be doing that either.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

You know you don't have to jump off a tall-ass cliff. You could just jump off a ledge. It's still fun!!

Luffy1990 · Answer

Bungee jumping (it’s straight forward unlike the other 2 activities

I'd say skydiving cause that was actually pretty easy my first time out.

douride2 · Answer

I don't think any of those choices would be easy.

Jerre · Answer

Your first time sky diving, you’ll be hooked up with an experienced sky diver so you won’t be by yourself.

SahuShekhar · Answer

I would only go for skydiving. There are two set of parachutes.

Ad_Quid_Orator · Answer

I'd say sky diving because the first time you have an instructor dive with you.

sirderpsalot123 · Answer

I'm just guessing, but I think skydiving would be safer, easier, and way cooler to brag about.

Bungee Jumping for sure. You have a secure belt that protects you
