WHERE?
728-foot tall
Verzasca Dam, Switzerland…made famous in the 1995 James Bond film
Golden Eye and again in the first episode of the 14th
season of The Amazing Race!
Not just once or twice... TWELVE jumps! Greg
was determined to set THE RECORD for THE GREATEST
number of bungee jumps ever completed from the Verzasca Dam in one
day…putting his body (and mind) through a grueling challenge.
Bungee-jumping from that
height, Greg reached a speed of 140 km/hour in mere seconds.
His body endured 4 G’s, akin
to the training astronauts must go through.
A bungee jump from that height
has an initial recoil of 420 feet or nearly 40 storeys!
Below are some images from his TWELVE
incredible jumps:
