Yes, there is a danger element in all adventure tourism experiences. It’s part of the thrill. However, an international Tourist Activities and Adventure Sports Study in 2023 has shown that Bungy jumping is among the least dangerous tourist activities you can participate in.
The chances of a fatal accident are minuscule. The figures show, for example, that a mountain bike ride is 50 times more life-threatening than a Bungy jump. A motorbike ride is 10 times. A Jet Ski ride is 5 times. Even just going for a swim, it is 4 times more likely that you won’t come back than from having a Bungy jump. As is just eating a meal. You are four times more likely to die of food poisoning from a single meal than from having a Bungy jump.
Why is this? Our Group, which operates under the brand AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand, invented commercial Bungy jumping and leads the industry. For the Group, the safety of our customers is paramount, and it has established the strictest safety practices for Bungy and the other gravity-related thrill experiences like Skyjump with which we are associated. We have an unblemished safety record over 30 years, and our practices have been adopted as the safety standard for Bungy across Australasia.
Others aren’t so fixated on safety and quality, or as knowledgeable. So if you are looking for advice on how to add thrilling adventure experiences to your site, contact Bungy New Zealand Ventures to ensure you get an understanding of the best-proven practices needed to safety-proof your operation.
