The Plummet at the Summit is Back (2014)

May 14, 2014 By Joel Runyon 6 Comments

I’m jumping off a bridge at WDS…who’s coming with me?

Yup – that’s right – The Plummet at the Summit is back.

Warning: Comfort-zone seekers turn back now

After one year off, we’re back to jumping off high things at WDS. For the uninitiated, the Plummet at the Summit is the annual bungee jumping event that we do in Portland in July. It coincides with the day before WDS (World Domination Summit) put on by my friend Chris Guillebeau. You can read about the previous plummets here: Plummet 2012 | Plummet 2011 (Bungee) | Plummet 2011 (Skydive). It’s real-life practice in doing sh*t that scares you. Oh, and it’s an awesome time. If you’re wondering whether it’s an awesome time or not – you can get an idea of what it’s like from the photos below:

It’s a not-so-well-kept secret that the Impossible group is unofficially the official crazy group at the conference (apparently hurling yourself towards death isn’t something that Chris’ legal team likes to associate itself with) but so we’re jumping right on that and we’ll be jumping to our deaths. And we’re pumped about it.

If you’ve wanted to go bungee jumping in the past – this is the perfect chance to finally get it knocked off your impossible list. Plus, you’ll meet 25 of your new best friends who are at least as nuts (or more so) than you and will launch your weekend better than anything else. Why we’re doing bungee jumping:

Like cold showers, bungee Jumping is a great real-life metaphor for doing stuff you’re scared of. You can stand on the ledge as long as you want, but until you jump off the cliff you’ll never find out if the rope will hold you. You have to jump to find out.

If you haven’t come with us before – people rave about it and it’s a great way to kick off the conference weekend. I mean, look at the photo below – does it look like I’m having a bad time?

    This will be my first WDS and I’ve been wanting to add bungee jumping to the list of things I’ve done. Count me in!

    Just changed my flights with JetBlue so I could be there in time for the big plummet! First time in Portland, first time at WDS, might as well also be my first time bungie jumping. The GoPro is already charging 😀 ~Brian

    Bah, I have to miss this again! I’ll be at WDS this year, but unless there’s a way to change a flight to be a day earlier without paying a gajillion dollars…
