Taking a foreign holiday usually involves the traveller sitting in the plane until they reach their destination.

The Jump on Singapore festival allows no such comfort, as festival goers are expected to jump out of as many planes as they can!

Travel insurance with extended cover is surely a must for this trip, as members of the public have the chance to show off their jumping skills, skydiving from an aircraft flying four kilometres above the city.

Professional skydivers will also perform an exhilarating array of air stunts and jumps over the Marina Bay area.

Thousands of jumps are planned over the four days, writes whatsonwhen.com, and live camera footage showing a birds eye view should make the experience a whole lot more real, especially for those who have never jumped before.

Keeping people on the ground entertained are gigs on the earth, a chillout lounge and musical performances and the festival takes place from August 18th until the 21st.

Travellers intending to go should prepare their trips thoroughly, including taking out comprehensive cover in case of an accident when away.
