Nothing shows how brave you are like challenging gravity. No matter how much training, how brave or courageous, jumping off a ledge and free falling is scary--EVERY TIME. While this sh#t is terrifying yes, statistically speaking, it’s pretty safe. According to business insider, the chances of you splatting on the asphalt from a bungee jump are about 1 in 500,000.
But statistics aside, when you plummet off a ledge towards jagged rocks, your brain instinctively knows to clear those bowels and prepare for the end. While any bungee jump is pretty extreme, here's our list of bungee jumps across the globe that are SO extreme, you'll poop your pants:

In Humboldt California, the jump master packs a backpack with bungee gear, loads it on your back, and you climb yourself and equipment up a 200 foot redwood tree. That's scary enough on its own, but the real adrenaline comes when you jump yourself back down from whence you came.
