The Colombo Lotus Tower plans to launch the Bungee Jumping programme by December this year, its Head of Management Prasad Samarasinghe said.
The Colombo Lotus Tower and Singapore Go Bungy Company earlier signed a contract to start bungee jumping for the first time in Sri Lanka, which will become the world’s highest bungee jump after it is launched.
Samarasinghe said initial bungee jumping was planned to commence in August, but was delayed since the management found that some upgrading had to be done to the ski ramp, and again the company had changed its plans.
Recently, the first skydiving event (an exhibition jump) was witnessed from the Lotus Tower to promote the island's tourism industry internationally.
While surprising viewers, two skydivers jumped off the tower with a smoke flare and cameras attached to their bodies to record their jumps. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)

To set a world record the 225 must use a cord 10 percent longer than the hight of the tower

Balance 90% will have to jump without bunjees considering the cost of living.

Namal should do the honours by opening it by bungee jumping without the cord.

Money well spent it seems. Hope the rajapakshes will open it by jumping without safety harnesses.

Bungee jumping is serious business, safety should be paramount, so many precautions need to be taken, better ways of promoting tourism

Bungee jumping not required, people will anyway soon start jumping off the tower.

Lotus Tower must make sure the cord is strong enough to carry the person's weight. If it snatch then big problem.

What strict conditions and regulations are in place for this? Is there adequate insurance cover offered by the operators to cover if a foreigner is hurt in this? As we know foreigners will demand a very large compensation if they are hurt.
