There is so much to do at Glenelg during the summer holidays and one of the most exciting activities would have to be the Bungy Trampoline in Moseley Square. Both kids and adults* can enjoy the thrill of bungy jumping in a safe, secure environment with a view of the sand and the sea. Operated by Flymotion, let the kids defy gravity and have fun experimenting with somersaults and backflips or watch them simply trying to jump as high as they can.
Imagine jumping up to 7 metres into the air off a trampoline, looking down on the crowd from over 2 storeys up. Using multiple bungy cords the traditional trampoline is superboosted to allow a gravity defying ride giving all the adrenaline of bungy jumping but none of the risks.
The following information is from the Flymotion website:
Jumpers are able to reach heights that would be impossible using a trampoline alone, secured and safe in their adjustable purpose built harness they are free to experiment with acrobatic movements or to simply jump as high as they can.
Units are designed to accommodate 4 jumpers simultaneously. Each “jumping station” is equipped with a high quality trampoline (either inflatable or steel framed). The participant is fitted with a specially made hip-harness connected to adjustable elastics. These in turn are attached to high quality mountaineering ropes which, by way of a carabiner and pulley system are diverted over the top of the structure to a winch at the base. The participant is then lifted above the trampoline using the winch and by jumping he/she gains height.
In our experience the unit is enjoyed by people from 2 years old up to 60, but mostly (70%) by children aged from 5 to 16 years. The joy in the faces of participants and on-looking parents make running the unit a pleasure!
