People don’t attend Bridge Day just for the great views. They also come to take part in a variety of exciting activities. The most famous of them is BASE jumping. People who like to challenge themselves leap off the bridge with parachutes and float down to the river far below. Only trained jumpers are allowed to participate, but a few lucky visitors can join a tandem jump with a professional. For many guests, watching these jumps is the best part of their day.
人們參加「橋樑日」不只是為了欣賞壯麗的景色。他們也是為了來參加各種令人興奮的活動。其中最知名的就是定點跳傘。熱愛挑戰自我的人會背著降落傘從橋上一躍而下，並飄降至遠處的河面。只有受過訓練的跳傘人員才被允許參加，但也有少數幸運的遊客能與專業人員一同進行雙人跳傘。對許多遊客而言，觀看這些跳傘畫面是當天最精彩的體驗。
