    So it turns out they filmed this on (or should I say off) a dam in Switzerland only a few hours from where I stay.
    When I found that out I roped in some trusting friends ("it's not that high") for a quick day trip to the Worlds highest fixed bungee jump.

    220m (721 feet).

    Excited? Excited.
    Nervous? Nervous.

    I'm currently debating what to say going over the edge. I was thinking "Swan dive!"

    Anyone else ever done a bungee jump?

    I've done a 50m bungee which was great fun, just don't hesitate, when they say "go" or "jump" just do it. Seen a fair few people stand there for 10minutes winding themselves up getting more and more panicky :)

    I've done a few actually when I was in New Zealand.

    I had a pretty ferocious hangover so went and did a sky dive and then a bungee afterwards.

    I was only slightly anxious about doing it but the guy I went with was crapping himself. It was all on camera and I've never laughed so hard in my life when I saw his face and reaction! I was crying for hours after...

    I can't remember the heights tbh but it cleared my head nicely!

    DO IT!

    Probably because he'd have to pack 721 feet of rope along with him. That could get heavy, even for James Bond.

    wow, good luck. I've seen that movie tons of times but I don't remember that scene for some reason.

    Have fun with the jump. I'm not sure I'd do that one. I don't have a problem with the height, I'd be afraid of smacking into the wall on the bounce but I'd have to see it in person.

    I'd rep you if I could b_e. That made me LOL.

    Have fun I guess. I've never done a bungee jump, but it looks like a lot of fun. If you're into that sort of thing of course.

    I half-wish we could see our rep bars, yours and mine, with rep from each other subtracted. It would be embarrassing, I'm sure.

    I want a video of you saying, "look down, now back to me, swan dive!"

    Looks awesome, I'm actually pretty envious despite my fear of heights.

    I would do a parachute jump in a heartbeat but bungee jumps scare the sh#t out of me. Good luck.

    Doing it like golden eye the film: Very Good, should be awesome!
    Doing it like golden eye the game: Very Bad :(

    Don't know how many of you remember golden eye on the n64 but the 3d wasnt the best so instead of putting a dodgy looking rope they figured bugger it! no rope at all. He just dives off the damn head first!

    First time i saw it i thought id played so badly I'd made bond suicidal :|
