As a world renowned tourist destination reputed for its sleek department stores and sky scraping malls Singapore is a shopaholic’s dream come true. But this thriving commercial heartland and business Mecca is also fast gaining a reputation as an adventure sporting venue due to its one of a kind bungee experience.
Simply dubbed the G-Max Reverse Bungee experience this break-neck speed bungee encounter is definitely not for the faint of heart. Especially geared to suit the speed limits of true blue adrenalin junkies and bungee enthusiasts, the 200kmph experience catapults participants like rocketed astronauts into the air. Boarding a three seater open-air capsule participants can expect to encounter six G forces at 200 kilometers an hour. Often described as the best way to experience the earth’s gravitational pull without leaving the planet’s atmosphere the G-Max Reverse Bungee is suspended in the air by sturdy cables made up of 4000 rubber strands that extend downward from 35 meter high towers. The jaw-breaking experience lasts up to five minutes while participants will be completely airborne for 1.5 minutes of the duration. Swinging up and down between the suspension towers the capsule will go back and forth a minimum of seven times at 200kmph before concluding the ride.
The brainchild of bungee guru Troy Griffin the G Max technology was developed by the visionary thrill seeker in the middle of the 1990s making Singapore’s G-Max Reverse Bungee experience the only ride in the world to encompass such high levels of elevation. Participants must be at least 12 years of age to get on board the open-air capsule and be at least 1.2m in height. Parents must accompany their children on the ride available along the captivating environs of Clarke Quay.
Adhering to the strictest safety measures the gravity defying bungee apparatus is maintained by a group of highly skilled engineers and maintenance professionals. A five-way seat belt with a Camlock buckle fastens passengers to the capsule and the suspension chords also go through a replacement process after completing 400 launches.
