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.
人们参加「桥梁日」不只是为了欣赏壮丽的景色。他们也是为了来参加各种令人兴奋的活动。其中最知名的就是定点跳伞。热爱挑战自我的人会背著降落伞从桥上一跃而下，并飘降至远处的河面。只有受过训练的跳伞人员才被允许参加，但也有少数幸运的游客能与专业人员一同进行双人跳伞。对许多游客而言，观看这些跳伞画面是当天最精彩的体验。
