Some people like to play baseball. Others like basketball or soccer. However, for some people, those sports aren’t fun enough. Some people think that the best sports are the scary sports. Sports that are very scary and dangerous are called extreme sports (极限运动). Bungee jumping (蹦极) is one of them. And bridges are probably the most popular places for bungee jumping.
Most people say that bungee jumping is a very scary experience. They say that when they are falling, they really think that they’re going to die. In fact, some people try their best to do it, but they don’t succeed. When they stand on the bridge and look down, they get too scared, and they give up.
Why do people go bungee jumping? Some people want to overcome their fears. For example, maybe a person is afraid of being in high places. That person might think, “If I can go bungee jumping, I will never be afraid of being in high places again.” Other people enjoy bungee jumping because they say it feels just like flying. Some people just want to try something new and exciting.
Though it sounds crazy, many people like it. Today, people do it in countries around the world. They don’t just go bungee jumping from bridges, either. People go bungee jumping from buildings, mountains, and even planes!
