Flying through the air over a river might sound like a nightmare to some, but daredevils may be tempted by the exciting activity.
The Bungee Jump Killiecrankie gives thrill seekers the opportunity to free-fall 40 metres (131ft) over the River Garry.
Located in Highland Perthshire, Scotland, the experience is offered by Highland Fling Bungee and is priced at £89.
Those brave enough to face their fears and take the leap will fly over 50mph off a jump platform and enjoy a few seconds of exhilarating joy before they are pulled back to safety by a cord.
It’s described as a ‘safe and unforgettable adrenalin packed experience’ and is run by qualified ‘Bungee Jump Masters’.
The daring activity uses the latest safety equipment and technology, and is the UK’s first static bungee jump.
Adrenaline-lovers can jump from the platform, which is suspended underneath the Garry Bridge and dive towards a stunning gorge as they swoop past trees and woodland.
The creators of the bungee experience wanted participants to ‘form a connection with an inspiring landscape through adventure and exhilaration’.

It’s suitable for those from age 14, but anyone over 65 needs medical clearance.
Thrill-seekers have to fit the weight requirements too, and must weigh between 32kg and 140kg.
Anyone with medical conditions must check with their doctor while those who are pregnant cannot participate.
The experience is available all year round and is described as one of a kind in the UK as it’s the first permanent and purpose-built bungee platform that is located on a bridge in Britain.
Plenty of videos have been uploaded on TikTok showing the daring jump, and in one clip, a man flips himself around as he flies down until the cord pulls him back.
Other thrilling activities offered by Highland Fling Bungee include the Killie Zip Park, the Highland Swing, the Tandem Bungee Jump and the Blackout Bungee.
Operations Manager Laurie Thomas previously told the Daily Mail the element that makes the bungee experience so terrifying is the feeling of ‘falling into the abyss’.
The Bungee Jump Killiecrankie has raving reviews on TripAdvisor from adrenalin-junkies who have experienced it first-hand.
