About

Built in 1911, the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge is the perfect setting for the first ever bridge jump in the UK and is one of only three operating transporter bridges in the world. On arrival you will be weighed and kitted out with your back up harness, ready for the biggest climb of your life - 210 steps to the top of the bridge. Once at the top you'll walk 150 feet along to the jump zone. Soak up the fabulous views as you get kitted out and made ready for your jump. Then after a few words of encouragement, and a few very deep breaths, it's 1... 2... 3... bungee! You'll plummet towards the River Tees (try to keep your eyes open!) before the bungee rope reaches its return point and you ping back skywards. After a few more bounces, you'll be gently lowered into a waiting speedboat. Once back on terra firma, you can pick up your certificate.

Key Info

Availability: At least one Sunday morning a month throughout the year.
Participant Guidelines: Min age 14, max weight 18st 12lb (120kg). Under 16s need a parent/guardian's signature. Over 50s need to produce a doctor's certificate. Must be in good health and inform us of any medical conditions beforehand, as they may prohibit you jumping.
Weather: High winds or heavy rain may affect this experience. If in doubt, please be sure to call the centre to check before you leave.
Duration: After registering you'll be allocated a time slot; you can reasonably expect to jump within an hour, but please allow for two hours on site. Safety checks, briefing and harnessing take a few minutes. Your jump will last just a few heart-stopping seconds.
Numbers On Day: You'll jump on your own, but there will be others waiting their turn.
Spectators: Spectators are welcome to watch your jump from the viewing area approximately 100 yards from the site - get them to bring along a camera or video. Tea and coffee is also available.
Dress Code: Wear long trousers rather than a skirt (you'll be upside down!). Glasses and contact lenses must be removed prior to jumping.
Other Info: Conditions that will prevent you from jumping include high blood pressure, heart condition, dizziness/epilepsy, pregnancy, asthma, neurological condition and diabetes.
