I'm falling for you: Thrill-seeking couples celebrate Valentine's Day by bungee jumping NAKED over frozen river

#askaroundnow
Think of Valentine's Day and you probably imagine bouquets of ripe, fragrant roses, a cosy night with your lover and perhaps an intimate, candlelit dinner for two.
As the world outside freezes (or in our case drowns) in the grip of late winter, the last thing on most couples' minds is thrill seeking - at least anywhere else but the bedroom.
So your devotion to your partner might be seriously tested if he or she told you the plan for February 14 was to celebrate your love with a bungee jump. Naked. In the snow.

I've fallen for you: A brave young couple hold each other tightly as they plummet from a cable car during a Valentine's Day naked bungee jump stunt over the frozen river Gauja in chilly Sigulda, Latvia

Stripping Valentines couples fall for each other on bungee jump

But love was most certainly in the air for nine couples who yesterday headed to Sigulda, Latvia, where they disrobed, embraced, and leapt from a cable car.
Video footage showed them in tight clinches, screaming in delight and terror, as they bounced around before being caught by a landing party on the ground with warm drinks and towels.

 Despite the biting winter weather, the loved-up but perhaps slightly unhinged sweethearts performed the jump over the frozen river Gauja, wearing just mittens, g-strings and safety harnesses.

And if that wasn't brave enough, the lovers had wait their turn in their birthday suits for 15 minutes before making the jump.

'Enamoured, crazy and naked such were the young people who dared to participate in this adventure.
'As the participants acknowledged, it was a fantastic experience for them to be remember and an unusual activity to share with their soulmates.'
