It was about 10 years or so ago that I decided on impulse to take the plunge. It was a thrill and a blast. The cord was hooked to a sling around the middle. I don't think I would have done it if it was hooked around the feet. It was fun, even my wife jumped. I am just not sure if I would do it again. Too many issues since then.
I would definitely have to be pushed. I have done the sling shot on the Daytona boardwalk. cussed all the way through that. 
Mama and Papa Scooterbug did it at the place in New Zealand where modern bungee jumping was invented.
BTW Mama Scooterbug is afraid of heights. Hilarious video of her getting up there, making Papa Scooterbug go first, then clutching the poor employee in fear until she finally went - so full of adrenaline she jumped OUT instead of down and got an extra bounce.

I did it way back when it was still legal in Georgia. 200 ft crane and cord strapped to the ankles at the Lakewood Fairgrounds. I was there for an antique show and we thought we'd go see what the bungee jumping was all about.
It was a blast at the time and I would have done it again back then. I think I'd be far too chicken to do it now although it looks tempting.
