Top 10 things to throw yourself off


Have you had a good plummet lately? No? Nor have I.

It seems to have come to light that, after reading the top 10 list of 'things to throw yourself off', I have a distinct lack of accomplished 'weightlessness'.

I have achieved 1/10. I obviously need to up my game.

I managed the 15,000ft dive over Lake Taupo, one of the last remaining active-volcano regions in New Zealand. Snow-capped volcanoes beckoned me whilst I was roaming the word. It was epic to say the least. (See picture).

Well, if you’d like to add an adrenaline rush and an element of danger to your next trip, see below for a list of ten of the best places around the world to enjoy the feeling of weightlessness you can only get from the perfect fling. Are you ready to take the plunge?

2. Bungee jumping at Victoria Falls, Zambia/Zimbabwe

3. Skydiving over Lake Taupo, New Zealand
