The Royal Gorge Bridge, located in Colorado, USA, boasts the world's highest bungee jumping point at 321m. This is an overwhelming difference compared to Japan's highest Ryujin Suspension Bridge at 100m. The bridge is 350m above the riverbed and is known as the world's highest suspension bridge.
By the way, from this bridge, you can descend to the riverbed on a trolley that goes down a 45-degree steep slope. The trolley has 19 manual stop devices to ensure safety. These devices come in handy should any problems arise. The sightseeing fee is $24.
The Quepos Bridge in Costa Rica is known locally as the "Bridge of Death" or the "Oh My God Bridge." Located on the Pacific coast connecting Jacó and Quepos, this bridge was originally built for banana transport. However, it's now severely dilapidated, and makes a rattling sound every time a car crosses it. Having never been repaired since its construction in the 1930s, the bridge is in extremely dangerous condition.
The entire bridge is crumbling, and it suffers even more damage each time a large vehicle passes over it. Furthermore, the narrow width makes it impossible for cars to pass each other, and the wooden planks are not secured with nails, making it difficult to cross safely.
