You have got to be kidding me. Leave it to a West Virginian to jump off a perfectly good bridge.

These folks come from all over the world to do this.

Marty , if you dont bungee jump off that bridge
on the rhino. you are a Candy ass.......

Chris....... :(lmao:

thats f in crazy i have drove over that bridge sevsral time and dont even like that muck less walking on it!!!!! no way i would jump off ith dam thing

I would jump off it in a heartbeat as long as I had a professional strapped to my back. I don't think I would be brave enough to do it alone..........don't have enough jumps and experience.

Some bridge day pics.


Dude is off and flying.





Coming in for the landing.

2 years ago there was a guy killed. Chute didn't open. That was the first fatality in over 10 years. It's 876 feet to the water.

Yeah baby!

Not going to hit that mark with no T 10, huh LT?!?!

Don't alot of those guys jump with their chute in their hand and throw it out behind them after about 2 seconds?

You got that right!! A -1 neither. You can't steer either of those for crap, but you CAN guarantee that either would open if I packed it. That was my MOS when I was enlisted (parachute rigger).

Great pics. I am suprised the leaves have not changed more there. Fayetteville/Summersville is a little higher and cooler than down Barboursville way. I thought maybe it would be more orangish being past mid-October.
