You must have seen this picture many a time. Macau Tower Convention and Entertainment Center is a tower that measures 338 m (1,109 ft) in height from ground level to the highest point. An observation deck with panoramic views, restaurants, theaters, shopping malls and the Skywalk X, a thrilling walking tour around the outer rim. It offers the best view of Macau and in recent years has been used for a variety of adventurous activities.
At 233 meters, the Macau Tower's tethered "skyjump" and Bungee jump by AJ Hackett from the tower's outer rim, is the second highest commercial skyjump in the world, after Vegas' Stratosphere skyjump at 260 meters. The tower is one of the members of the World Federation of Great Towers. Besides being used for observation and entertainment, the tower is also used for telecommunications and broadcasting.
The World's Highest Bungy Jump at Macau Tower will take its guests on a free fall at a speed of up to 200km/h for the ultimate extreme journey!
Plunging from a platform 233m high, challengers will experience a 4-5
second freefall before stretching the 50 meter bungy cord nearly four
times its unloaded length and rebounding at approximately 30 meters
above the ground.
Using a guide cable system, bungy jumpers will be able to safely
experience a few rebounds before slowly landing onto a specially
designed airbag.
Sorry! I think I gave too much of an introduction for the AJ Hackett! Now, have a closer look at this old man who is having this free fall... For those who know him, it would be no surprise, though! He is known for his readiness to plunge into the unknown...
Here he is! Our very own Alberto! Only 67 years old now!
Congratulations!
Bye Bye ...!
