Feel the Sandsation
Urban bungee jumping attraction on MBS

Mr. George Tanasijevich, CEO of Marina Bay Sands Pte Ltd (MBS) launched the Sandsation, an urban bungee jumping attraction, on the top of MBS Hotel this evening, by performing the first jump.
Mr. Tanasijevich said, “We are confident that Sandsation will become one of the most preferred attractions since this is the first urban bungee jumping attraction in Singapore.”
Some famous celebrities were also seen in the launching ceremony.
The Sandsation uses high quality equipment imported from USA that has been certified for its safety by the Building Construction Authority.
The attraction takes place on the top of the hotel with 200 m height and strong enough to hold up to 3 people.
Marina Bay Sands also hired two highly experienced professional bungee jumping instructors for Sandsation.
“I must admit it’s a great experience. The instructors helped a lot by explaining everything clearly before the jump,” Nadia Hutagalung said, after she jumped.
The Sandsation costs SGD 50 per jump and it will be open to public starting tomorrow from 3pm to 12am daily. Jumper should be at least 18-year olds and allowed by the operational staff to jump.

People who weigh under 40kg are not allowed to do the jump due to the increased risk of possible injuries.

    One of the reasons I would love to go to Maui is because Maui is known to have world-famous beaches consisting of thirty miles of the most stunning beaches all filled with white soft sand, clear sparkling water, and tall palm trees swaying in the wind. The feeling of the fluffy white sand between my toes immediately puts a smile on my face. Instantly, all I want to do is lie there to get a natural golden tan. Lying there on the beach while listening to the waves rumble and the palm trees sway puts me in the ultimate relaxation stage. The gorgeous view of the ocean sets in the background as I dose off in the glaring sun. Relaxing on the beach is all I really need to satisfy me on vacation so why not relax on one of the most stunning beaches world-wide.…

    Vanuatu tribes jump from 120 foot towers. Each diver will construct his diving platform and measure vines. This process takes 3 weeks. After the man jumps, four men run to cut the hanging man down by the ankles (Hagman). “If divers are married, they practice abstinence and avoid their family for some nights in mental preparation for the jump,” said Hagman. The divers have no nets to catch themselves. They can’t land on something soft like water. (Lee) “The idea is to jump as high as possible and to land as close to the ground as possible,” said Lee. Besides the jump, other factors are key for the jump. The wood has to be strong so it is freshly cut. The vines that hold it together and act as jump ropes have to be supple and elastic, otherwise they might snap” (Lee).…
