Elastic Crocodil Bungee – Saut à l

## Elastic Crocodil Bungee at the Viaduc de Pélussin (near Lyon): what to know before you jump

If you’re looking for a legit saut à l’élastique near Lyon, Elastic Crocodil Bungee runs jumps from the Viaduc de Pélussin (Loire, département 42). It’s marketed as a jump of around 65 meters from the viaduct—enough height to feel like a full experience rather than a quick drop.

### Quick orientation (so you don’t end up in the wrong place)
The jump spot is in/at Pélussin (42410) at the viaduct area. One booking listing specifies the meeting point as “Directly at the viaduct (Rue de Verdun, 42410 Pélussin)”.
Your provided dataset mentions “Villeurbanne,” but the operator’s own page and multiple activity listings place the jump at Pélussin—so treat “Villeurbanne” as non-location metadata rather than where you’ll actually jump. Crocodil Bungee

## What the experience is (in plain language)
Bungee jumping (“bungy/bungee”) is a controlled fall using a latex elastic cord, typically attached to the ankles or via a body setup depending on the operator and configuration. The point is the combination of free-fall sensation and rebound oscillations—not a long glide or zipline-style ride.

With this operator at Pélussin, you should expect:
– A structured check-in + briefing, then gearing up and a jump sequence run by staff (typical duration listed is roughly 45 minutes to 1 hour for the activity block).
– Weather sensitivity: the operator states the activity is subject to weather conditions and that you may be notified in advance if it’s canceled and needs rescheduling. Crocodil Bungee

## Safety and eligibility: the details people skip (and regret later)

### Weight limits (don’t assume they’re “standard”)
Elastic Crocodil’s own Pélussin page states:
– Minimum weight: 45 kg
– Maximum weight: 140 kg Crocodil Bungee

Some third-party listings mention slightly different thresholds (e.g., 40 kg minimum and/or 150 kg maximum). That discrepancy matters—especially if you’re near the edge of a limit—so use the operator’s current rules as the deciding reference when booking. Crocodil Bungee

### Medical and age-related requirements
Elastic Crocodil specifies:
– Medical certificate required from age 55+ Crocodil Bungee

### Contraindications (yes, they’re strict for a reason)
The operator and listings flag common exclusions, including:
– Pregnancy
– Serious health conditions (examples cited include heart disease; other listings mention epilepsy and joint problems as not suitable) Crocodil Bungee

### Minors
At least one listing states:
– Parental authorization is required for minors

## Booking, cancellations, and “what happens if…”
Policies vary by platform, and that’s exactly where people get burned.

– One provider listing advertises free cancellation up to 24 hours before start time (platform-specific).
– Another platform advertises free cancellation up to 7 days before the activity date.
– The operator notes weather-related cancellation/rescheduling and that the jump can be postponed to a date of your choice if conditions force a stop. Crocodil Bungee

Practical takeaway: if you care about flexibility, book where the cancellation terms are explicit and match your risk tolerance—then screenshot the policy at purchase time.

## When to go (seasonality)
One compiled “practical info” source describes an opening period as:
– Weekends from March to October + school holidays

The operator’s own page also references booking/dates for 2026, which is a strong signal that scheduling is seasonal and published in batches rather than “show up any day.” Crocodil Bungee
Flag for freshness: exact operating days change year to year, so treat any specific calendar as time-sensitive unless you’re reading the current season’s page at booking time. Crocodil Bungee

## What to wear and bring (the boring part that affects safety)
Elastic Crocodil explicitly recommends:
– Flexible clothing
– Closed-toe shoes Crocodil Bungee

Also worth planning for, because it’s repeatedly relevant to this kind of activity:
– Minimal loose items (phones, hats, dangling accessories) once you’re on the platform—anything unsecured becomes a hazard.
– If you’re 55+, arrive with the required medical certificate already sorted. Crocodil Bungee

## Getting there: what you can rely on
What I can say confidently from the sources is where you’re meant to meet: at the viaduct in Pélussin (Rue de Verdun is specified by one listing).
For routing (car vs. transit), I’m not going to guess—use your map app with the meeting point text above and confirm it against your booking confirmation.

## Nearby context (so the day feels intentional, not just “drive → jump → leave”)
Pélussin sits in the broader Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes area near Lyon and is commonly treated as a “near Lyon” adventure day in listings.
If you’re building a fuller itinerary, pair the jump with a low-effort, high-reward plan: a scenic stop, a café meal, and enough buffer that you’re not arriving rushed (rushed guests make staff jobs harder, and that’s when mistakes happen).

## Accessibility and inclusivity notes (what’s known vs. what needs confirming)
What’s clearly stated:
– The activity has health-based exclusions and may require documentation for some ages. Crocodil Bungee
What is not clearly stated in the sources I pulled:
– Step-free access details, platform accessibility, or accommodations for specific disabilities.

If accessibility details matter for you or someone in your group, the only accurate move is to request them directly from the operator before booking.

## Data freshness and potential inconsistencies (explicit flags)
– Weight limits differ across sources (operator page vs. third-party listings). Use the operator’s current rule as canonical. Crocodil Bungee
– Schedules are time-sensitive (the operator page references 2026 dates). Always verify the live calendar right before you commit travel plans. Crocodil Bungee
– Cancellation terms are platform-dependent (24h vs 7 days). Don’t assume they match.
