SCAD Jump

A 46-metre (150 ft) free-fall with no harness and no rope — you drop clean into a giant net. On its own, or add a bungee.

46m · 150 ft · no rope, into the net · Shivpuri

Overview

SCAD is the one with no rope and no harness. You free-fall 46 metres (150 ft) off the platform and drop clean into a specially designed net below. It's the first of its kind in Asia, and the platform was built by a team from New Zealand. There's nothing attached to you, just the fall and the net. It's a very different sensation from bungee or the swing: a pure, short free-fall. The crew brief you, position you, and it's your call to go. You can do the SCAD on its own, or pair it with the 50 m bungee jump for Rs. 4,000. Either way the crew make the final call on the day based on your health.
