Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt.
Posted by Don Packett under Uncategorized on March 12 2007 at 8:22 AMSo yesterday morning saw myself, Sam, Leechi and Jay on our way to the Sanlam building in Pretoria central to meet some friends. Why? Well we decided what better way to end off your weekend than rap jumping off a 20-story building.
Dude.
A harness around your crotch area revealing your religion is a small price to pay for how totally awesome this experience was. Swinging your legs over the edge is the first big step. Actually, swinging the first leg, and then when you’ve overcome that then swinging the next over. Then, once you’re facing the world, and the ground 20-stories below, they tell you how to actually get yourself down.
It’s simple, in theory, but once you get the hang (excuse the pun) of it it’s easy sailing (again, sorry).
- Leechi
Three jumps, R200, awesome.
- Jay
Only once we got home did I read on the site that for R350 you get 7 jumps and a t-shirt. We bought shirts anyway, but next time I’m getting the other one!
- Sam
Purerush.co.za. The raddest bunch of adrenaline junkies I’ve met yet. And why wouldn’t they be? They jump off buildings every weekend, as well as a whole host of other awesome activities you’ll find on the site.
- Me
We left with bruised hips, sunburn, and some awesome footage. Been there? Done that? Got the t-shirt? Hell yeah! And we’re definitely gonna be going again, doing it again, and getting another t-shirt!

I’ve just experienced vertigo at my desk! I don’t have a fear of heights – I have a fear of falling. Looks like a blast none-the-less.

Hey, my adrenalin junkie. That looks so awesome …
sounds like the bug has bitten !!

The fall will never kill you. It’s the sudden stop that will get you every time.
Looks absolutely rad mate! Im very jealous. I’m looking out the window of my office on the 10th floor and it looks inviting. Shit, hang on, I have no skill or harness or rope. I’ll have to reconsider!

Hehe. Was so so rad. The only really scary part is when you actually slip your arse off the edge of the building, then it’s all downhill from there.

I nearly passed out the first time I sat on the edge, took a time out then I eventually got myself over for two jumps… was totaly worth getting over the fear.
