What to remember
233 m, or 764 ft: that is the height of the Macau Tower jump, the highest commercial bungee jump in the world, run under the name Macau Tower Bungy.
The jump was set up by AJ Hackett, who added a SkyJump to the tower. The principle of bungee jumping is the same everywhere: the jumper, tied to a long elastic cord, leaps from a tall structure. The cord stretches, slows and stops the fall, then throws the jumper back up, and the bouncing continues until all the energy is spent.
Usual launch points are bridges, cranes, cliffs or buildings; here a tower provides the height.
