The #2 Highest bungee jump in the world is...

Macau Tower, China – 760 feet (233 m)

Measuring 760 feet (233 m) it is just a fraction taller than its Swiss rival and our current #3 on this list, the drop from the Macau Tower definitely isn’t to be sneered at.

There is nothing but city concrete directly below.

When you’ve thrown yourself off the platform and into the great abyss, you;ll hear nothing but the wind rushing past your ears. Concerns of the city noise and traffic will likely dissapear for 10 seconds of freefall or so.

In 2006, bungee jumping guru A J Hackett launched what the Guinness Book of Records recognised as the highest commercial bungee jump in the world, performing the leap himself from the same spot as his ’skyjump’, which was opened the year before.
