Because Myrtle beach, South Carolina, is a popular vacation and spring break destination, visitors often look for things that they have never done before. Bungee jumping at Air Boingo has become a popular activity here. Air Boingo is the only location in Myrtle Beach that offers bungee jumping. It can be contacted by calling (843) 626-2863.
Types
Although Air Boingo is the only bungee jumping facility in Myrtle Beach, there is also a catapult-type ride that shoots riders upward. Jumpers at Air Boingo are raised to the top in an elevator-type platform, which they then jump off of.
Size
Once the platform is at the top, it is 80 feet in the air. Jumpers, though, claim that the platform looks as if it were higher from the top looking down. Below the platform is a large inflated pad put there just in case something goes wrong during jumps.
Geography
Air Boingo, at 311 Eighth Ave. in Myrtle Beach, is located only a couple of blocks from the ocean.
Misconceptions
Although frightening, bungee jumping is not dangerous. The bungee cords are securely strapped to a harness around the jumper’s midsection. Employees are not permitted to push jumpers, so each jumper must jump of his or her own free will.
Considerations
Before bungee jumping at Air Boingo, jumpers must sign a waiver that removes liability from the company.
