Verzasca Bungee Jump 007 Goldeneye
Travelled to Verzasca Dam in Ticino, Switzerland on route to Milan to do the famous 007 Goldeneye Bungee Jump. Its the 3rd highest in the world at 220m. My friend Mark and I jumped it and loved every second. Amazing experience I`ll never forget!!!
Bungee Jumping at the Verzasca Dam in Locarno, Switzerland!
220 meters = 722 feet
Golden Eye Bungee Jump @ Verzasca 1st View (Realtime+GoPro)
220m bungee jump from the Verzasca Dam (the famous James Bond Golden Eye stunt). It combines the 3rd person view from the bridge with a very close view from a GoPro cam.
The jump itself from the point of no return when you bend over the edge and try to get as much forward impulse as possible to the deepest point is 8 seconds.
In your head it is longer. Much longer! You had days to totally mess up your brain and those 8 seconds expand to 8 minutes of: Oh, that was easy to jump, oh this is really like being Superman, oh f*, oh nooo, this is to fast, the rope broke, I will die, I knew it from the beginning, well I was old enough to know what I was signing up to do, I deserve to die for this ultimate epic mistake, ah the rope kicks in (very smooth actually), adrenaline is now replaced by euphoria! A lifetime experience I can only recommend! :-)
In the 2nd view I will expand the footage in slow motion and comment on it - stay tuned!

Mit Rudi Widmer ein adrenalingepacktes Wochenende im Tessin verbracht - leider ziemlich verregnet - aber: Der 220 m-Sprung war definitiv wow!

Val Verzasca | Ticino | Switzerland (Bungy Jumping, Lavertezzo, Sonogno)
Val Verzasca | Ticino | Switzerland (Bungy Jumping, Lavertezzo, Sonogno)
Of the wonderfully beautiful valleys of the Ticino, the Verzasca valley is probably the most fascinating - for both romantics and adventure fans.
The magical jade green waters of the Verzasca river flow peacefully over smooth polished rocks, passing under the picturesque double arches of the Ponte dei Salti in Lavertezzo.
Follow the river down the valley and you will find wonderful worn rock shapes and natural jacuzzis, and the trail to Brione is home to 17 works of art. Don't resist it - jump in! You will be hard pressed to find a more romantically beautiful place to do so.
The Verzasca dam on the Lago di Vogorno at the entrance to the valley is where James Bond once jumped 220m attached to no more than a rubber rope.
For once, copying can be recommended! The 007 Bungee Jump- lasts exactly 71/2 seconds - take longer to enjoy your well-earned dip in Lake Maggiore.

Verzasca Dam Bungee Jumping, Contra Dam, Ticino, Switzerland, Europe
he Contra Dam, commonly known as the Verzasca Dam and the Locarno Dam, is an arch dam on the Verzasca River in the Val Verzasca of Ticino, Switzerland. The dam creates Lago di Vogorno 2 km (1.2 mi) upstream of Lake Maggiore and supports the 105 MW Verzasca Hydroelectric Power Station hydroelectric power station. It was constructed between 1961 and 1965 and starting shortly after its reservoir was filled, a series of earthquakes related to its water load occurred until 1971. The dam is owned and operated by Verzasca SA and is the fourth tallest in Switzerland. The dam became a popular bungee jumping venue after a James Bond stuntman jumped off it in the opening scene of the 1995 film GoldenEye; a stunt voted as the best movie stunt of all time in a 2002 Sky Movies poll. On May 6, 1960, Verzasca SA was formed to construct the dam as the center-piece of the Verzasca Hydroelectric Complex. Construction in the dam began in 1961. The dam was designed and its construction supervised by Lombardi & Gellaro Ltd. Because the Contra Dam is at a lower elevation compared to other Swiss dams, warmer weather allowed construction to be carried out year-round. To divert the river and prepare a dry work-site for the dam, cofferdams were constructed, one of which redirected the river through a diversion tunnel with a 200 m3/s (7,100 cu ft/s) capacity. As the river can have flows much higher than the tunnel's capacity, this was accepted as a risk by engineers. Excavation of the right side of the dam had to be expanded due to unforeseen weathered rock and designs were altered within 15 days. Concrete pouring and placement occurred for 18 months, of which the maximum poured in a day was 3,100 m3 (110,000 cu ft) and in a month, 55,000 m3 (1,900,000 cu ft). The aggregate for the concrete was obtained from a quarry near the construction site. The high-quality and strength gneiss-rock was ground in a rotary crusher and prepared in the concrete mixture. To facilitate the contraction and settling of the concrete in the dam, it was cooled with a series of steel pipes that ran throughout the mass of concrete, with the exception of the top 30 m (98 ft) of the dam. A grout curtain was placed around and below the dam as well to prevent leakage, which consumed a large amount of cement. In August 1964, the reservoir began to fill and in September 1965, the reservoir was full and the dam completed. During what Dr. Giovanni Lombardi, the dam's designer, described as an exceptionally rapid rise of water during the first filling of the reservoir, beginning in August 1964, there were seismic shocks. The earthquakes began in May 1965 and the biggest shocks had occurred later in October and November after the reservoir was full. The epicenters were located at two faults near the dam. As many as 25 shocks occurred a day. The shocks stopped once the reservoir was emptied and no damage was found. After refilling, the shocks decreased and an equilibrium was believed to have been reached, one that did not respond to variations in water load. Another large shock occurred several years after filling. By 1971, there were no more seismic shocks around the dam or reservoir. No known detailed geological studies were conducted prior to construction of the dam and several faults are known to exist in the area. The Contra Dam is a concrete slender arch dam with a height of 220 m (720 ft) and crest length of 380 m (1,250 ft). The dam is 25 m (82 ft) wide at its base and 7 m (23 ft) wide at its crest. The dam structure contains 660,000 m3 (23,000,000 cu ft) of concrete and the structure itself has a surface area of 44,500 m2 (479,000 sq ft). The dam is slender in design and its horizontal arches are in an elliptical shape. The horizontal curvature of the dam decreases from the center of the dam towards its abutments and the curvature from the center of the arches increases from the crest down to the foundation. The thickness is constant with the exception of where the dam is received by its abutments; here it is thicker to reduce pressure on the rock. The strong rock can accept stresses of 70 kg/cm2. Vertically, the thickness of the dam increases from the crest down to the foundation and has a slight curve from the center towards the crest. This helps alleviate tensile stress for when the reservoir is not only full but empty. The dam's outlet works consist of two discharge pipes, capable of releasing up to 170 m3/s (6,000 cu ft/s) each. One discharges into the original diversion tunnel and another is located at the base of the dam and discharges into the river valley below.
