The following partial letter came from the Guiness people. It was interesting that they have listed a much higher height than you claimed in your entry. Can you clarify where you were exactly?
Thanks, Gus
For activities such as bungee jumping we do not list gender-specific records, and will therefore not consider any claims for the oldest female bungee jumper. In addition, it is not our policy to limit such records to particular locations, although you may be interested to know that the highest commercially operated bungee jump - at a height of 708 ft - is at the Bloukrans River Bridge in South Africa. Our current official record for the oldest bungee jumper is 87, although there have been unconfirmed reports of jumpers as old as 100. We are therefore regrettably unable to consider your proposal for world record status.
Once again thank you for contacting Guinness World Records. We wish you every success with any future record-breaking endeavors.
Yours sincerely,
Amanda Sprague
