Bungee Jumping Equipment

Paratechnics has been manufacturing and supplying bungee jumping equipment to commercial operators for the past decade.  Our equipment has been as far afield as Norway and Nepal, The Greek Islands, The United States and the United Kingdom, Japan and China.  And we have supplied major operators here in New Zealand.

We primarily manufacture ankle harnesses and catapult harnesses, together with an assortment of accessories such as covers, slings, strops etc.  In fact, we can manufacture everything but the bungee cord itself.

A comfortable, secure and easy to fit harness for ankle attachment. 

  • Each ankle is individually secured in a padded wrap, secured with a webbing strap and buckle. 
  • Velcro stowages keep the loose webbing ends out of the way. 
  • Maximum distance between ankles in 240 mm, so walking is possible. 
  • An optional elongated strop allows room for two harnesses to be used together for tandem jumping. 
  • A range of fluorescent/bright colours is available. 

Catapult Harness

A full body harness for catapult launching, and may also be used for standard bungee operation where the jumper prefers a full harness. 

  • Eight point adjustment for perfect fit and security. 
  • Will accommodate a wide range of body sizes. 
  • Padded shoulders and legs. 
  • Key feature is the 'ripcord release', which allows the 'jumper' to activate the ground release - if he dares!! 
  • The back mounted suspension strop is 1.5m long (standard length - may be changed at customer's request). 
  • A range of fluorescent/bright padding colours is available.

Bobbin Covers

Padded covers fitted over the bobbin at either end of the bungee cord help reduce wear and tear to the bobbin, and identify (by colour code) the weight range of the cord. Used in pairs, and normally ordered as a set of 2 each Red, Green and Black.
