Sky Jump at Woobang Tower, Daegu (>ㅂ<)


       These day I tried to find out a way to refresh my head and reduce stress. I thought something thrilling would be nice, so I found this.


       Sky Jump? Falling from 123 meters height sounds really interesting. (What??) This is the only one sky jump in South Korea. It is located in Daegu, close to Woobang Land amusement park.

       This is different from bungee jumping. For sky jump you have to wear a special suit with a lot of safety equipment around, and you won't really jump freely, but they tied you with a wired, so your moves will get slower when you get close to the ground.


       So, where the 'jumper' would jump from? A tower! Yes, a tower!



       This is the tower. They called it 'Woobang Tower/우방 타워', '83 Tower (yup! simply just because it has 83 floors)', 'Daegu Tower (because it is in Daegu)' or 'E-world Tower/이월드 타워 (which I don't know why)'. The tower height is 202 meters and has a lot of of things inside it, such as wedding hall, ice rink, aquarium (under construction), restaurant, photo studio, snack corner, and so on.

       The price for Sky Jump, costs 40.000 won, including 'the jump' itself, certificate, and some printed photos. You can choose when the picture will be taken, while hanging in a height before falling down, in the middle of falling down, or before you jump, and I chose the first one.

       Finally, I did it! What a great feeling falling from a height!!!

Thanks to Mbak Wina for taking and uploading the vid. :")
