Kentucky’s Scariest Bungee Jump is 240 Feet High

Thrill enthusiasts will love it, folks with a fear of heights will be terrified by bungee jumping over 200 feet off this bridge in Kentucky.

Like so many others, I have a massive fear of heights. The idea of skydiving or bungee jumping haunts me in my nightmares. Doing something like that is not something that I should even think about doing, especially with how accident-prone I am. However, I know many thrill-seekers who have no fear of heights. They live life on the edge and would literally "jump" at the opportunity to do something like bungee jumping. If you are one of those people, would you like to give it a try on top of an over-100-year-old bride in Kentucky?

Vertigo Bungee

I'll bet that you didn't know that there's a bungee jumping opportunity in Kentucky that will send you plummeting toward the Kentucky River. Located in Lawrenceburg, you will find Vertigo Bungee, the ultimate test for thrill seekers. According to Visit Lawrenceburg:

In the shadows of the Wild Turkey distillery, spanning the Kentucky River, you’ll find Young’s High Bridge, a railroad bridge built more than 100 years ago that is now a permanent bungee jumping platform. Adventurous folks from all over come here one weekend a month, May through October, to bungee jump toward the river 240 feet below. It’s an experience like no other, and one you won’t find anywhere else in the eastern United States.

To some,  a 240-foot dive might not sound like much, but it's way higher up than you think when you are looking down. It's the ultimate thrill, right here in Kentucky.
