Today’s Bungy Jumping is an adrenalin fueled activity that sees thousands of people pushing personal limits and defying gravity all around the world. Over the past 22 years, the AJ Hackett Bungy Jumping empire has gone from strength to strength. The first site in New Zealand, a 43 metre historic bridge over glacial waters in Queenstown in 1988 proved the popularity of the extreme sport. Now, with sites in Cairns- Australia, Macau- China, Normandie- France, Auckland and Queenstown -New Zealand and many more in the pipeline, AJ Hackett’s group of companies offer personal challenges worldwide like no other.
Bungy Jumping was brought to the world’s attention in 1987 when AJ jumped 110 meters from the Eiffel Tower. Although questionable tactics were taken to perform this jump, the attention from local authorities and media made AJ Hackett and Bungy Jumping legendary across the globe!! This world famous event, the beginning of Bungy and the AJ Hackett story is told in Jump Start AJ’s Autobiography.
