ASTM International’s amusement rides and devices committee (F24) has approved the first standard for bungee jumping developed by an international standards development organization. The new practice for bungee jumping sites will soon be published as F3785.

According to ASTM member Mike Teske, owner/operators, designers, manufacturers, and regulators in the bungee jumping industry will now have a single document outlining the minimum requirements to use as a baseline for their work.

“Bungee jumping is a unique and very specialized amusement experience that relies heavily on strong designs, consistent equipment, and comprehensive operation processes,” says Teske, senior technical and sales representative, Cimolai Technology. “Over the years, different countries and regions have developed their own standards with numerous variations.”

Teske notes that the new standard has been written by a task group consisting of respected industry experts from around the world.

“This standard was developed by operators, designers, engineers, and manufacturers of bungee jumping sites and equipment from Asia, New Zealand, Canada, Central America, and the USA,” said Teske. “The task group’s dedication over seven years to compile the standard shows their commitment to developing a standard that will help ensure the public that best practices are being used in bungee jumping operations that follow the standard’s guidelines.”
