If you are reading this, I don't need to tell you that bungy jumping is an extreme sport, full of adrenaline blah! blah!
You are thinking about doing a bungy jump or you have already made your mind to jump! and you are just a bit nervous and concerned about your safety.
here are some tips that might help you..
1. Don't Over think It
Obviously you are browsing through web about bungy jump just to make sure it is safe but if it wasn't it wouldn't be a sport would it? it would be a suicide campaign or something if people who do this were to die. so don't overthink it coz more you think more you'll be scared so make up your mind to certainly jump and look forward to have a good time. Yes it's scary! but isn't that what makes it daring adventure?
2. Accidents
Accidents in bungy jump is very rare, you have a high chance of dying in everyday driving or crossing road than dying while doing bungy jump. bungy jump cord is invented by NASA it is more than reliable and those equipments are handled by professionals so it is very safe. Rumors about getting hurt by the cord while in the air is also not true, as long as you don't try to catch the cord while in the air (which is absurd) you will be perfectly fine.
3. Health Concerns
Lots of people think they might have a heart attack in the process. If you have a history of CVD you might wanna consult your doctor first, also those who have problem with their spine have to consult with your doctor first, although if your don't have such condition you won't even feel the shock from the cord coz its elastic not rigid. Long story short it won't give any kind of shock to your body, it goes very smooth.
bottom line if you are fit enough to dive in a swimming pool & ride a roller coaster you are fit enough to go and have a thrilling experience of bungy jumping. And quit thinking about heart attack no one has ever had an heart attack while bungy jumping.
4. How To Jump?
If you are uncomfortable about how you should you jump, don't worry the staff at there thoroughly instruct you how to jump safely.Talking about pose don't go leg first, head first is much safer and doesn't put any stress to your body since it doesn't have to flip at the end the jump. If it's your first time (which certainly is) KEEP IT SIMPLE. Don't try anything funny. There are few simple poses that you can pull off even as a beginner :-
i. Lumberjack fall :
ii. Backwards :
iii. Dive :
At Last
Well no matter how much i brag about it, or how many videos you watch youtube it won't help you much when it comes to your nervousness. No matter how much you plan how to jump how to pose your mind goes dead just before jump and you somehow manage to jump against your natural instinct i. e. not to jump. Only after a jump you can have confidence in this sport so just like i said at the beginning, don't overthink it and JUST DO IT!!
Hope you'll have a safe jump & lots of fun.
Good Luck

i. Lumberjack fall :
this one is very simple just stand straight and fall forward like a timber, this way you'll go head first and have a great view along the way down.
ii. Backwards :
exactly like lumberjack fall in this case backwards, meaning you turn your back where you are jumping and look at the sky while in the air.
iii. Dive :
I highly recommend this one, you jump just like you dive in a swimming pool. You'll have a great pose for camera, nice view (if you're brave enough to keep your eyes open) and cool breeze of air in your face.
At Last
