5.0 (7 reviews)Frequently asked questions
How high is the jump at the Viaduc de l'Isle-Jourdain?
The jump is 47 metres. That's roughly the height of a 15-storey building, with freefall lasting a few seconds before the cord engages.
What's the most intense moment of the jump?
The step off the edge. Once you're over the railing and looking straight down at 47 metres of open air, the rebound is almost secondary.
Do I need prior experience to jump?
No. The physicalLevel is listed as 'Everybody welcome', and the operator provides a full safety briefing on-site before you step off the viaduct.
How long does the whole session take?
The session runs 1.5 hours from arrival to finish, which includes the safety briefing, harness fitting and the jump itself.
