From music festivals to obstacle races and mountain activations, discover the summer events across Europe where you can jump on a Bagjump airbag.

Summer is the busiest season on the Bagjump calendar.

If you have ever wanted to try a freedrop or land on a Bagjump for the first time, summer in Europe is when it happens.

This is a guide to the kinds of summer events where you can find Bagjump airbags, what to expect at each one, and how to plan your visit. For the current month-by-month calendar, follow us on Instagram or check our news feed.

Music Festivals

Some of the largest music festivals in Europe include a Bagjump setup as part of their side program. Think of the ドナウインセルフェスト in Vienna, one of the biggest free open-air festivals in the world with around three million visitors, or the Lakelive Festival on the shores of Lake Biel in Switzerland, which runs for ten days with more than 40 concerts across three stages. At these events, the Bagjump becomes a way to break up the day between concerts. Visitors climb a freedrop tower, jump from 4, 6, or 10 meters, and land on a Bagjump AirPit スタンドアロン. It is one of the few festival attractions where the queue moves fast and everyone leaves with a story.

If you are heading to a European summer festival, check the side program map. There is a good chance a Bagjump is somewhere on the grounds.

Obstacle Races

Obstacle races have become one of the fastest-growing summer sports in Europe, and Bagjump has become part of the format. Events like the Innsbruckathlon in Tirol, Spartan Race across multiple European cities, and the Beatthecity Grazathlon in Graz all feature a Bagjump as one of the obstacles or as a side activation. At Grazathlon, up to 7,000 participants can start within four hours, and our 22 meter Standalone setup handles the volume without losing performance. Obstacle races are where the durability of a Bagjump airbag shows most clearly, because thousands of jumpers hit the same landing surface one after another.

Bundesheer Open Days

Austria has one of the most extensive military open day programs in Europe. Every summer, the Bundesheer opens its bases to the public across Styria, Lower Austria, Salzburg, and Burgenland, and Bagjump is a regular part of the program in partnership with Adrenalin Company. At a typical open day, visitors can see military equipment, take part in demonstrations, and try a freedrop from one of our Small or Large Freedrop Setups. These events are family-friendly, free to enter, and one of the easiest ways to try a Bagjump if you live in Austria.

Mountain Resort Summer Activations

Ski resorts do not close in summer. In fact, more and more Alpine resorts are building out year-round programs, and Bagjump is often the anchor attraction. Flachau in Salzburg runs a Bagjump summer activation with multiple setup dates through July and August. Other resorts add Bagjump Jump and Slide Parks as permanent installations to bring visitors back in the off-season. If you are planning a summer trip to the Austrian or Swiss Alps, check the resort’s summer program before you go.

City and Cultural Events

Beyond the big-name festivals and races, Bagjump shows up at city events, cultural celebrations, and one-off activations. From the 100-year anniversary of Salzburg Airport to the HOT IN THE CITY youth festival in Vienna with 30,000 attendees, our airbags fit into almost any public event where organizers want a high-energy, family-friendly attraction. These are also some of the most fun events to attend because the atmosphere is unpredictable and the crowds are mixed.

Sports and Athletic Events

Football, extreme sports, and multi-sport events are increasingly using Bagjump as a fan experience. Collaborations with the Vienna Vikings and Raiders Tirol football teams in Austria are examples of how a Bagjump setup can bring an American-sports level of energy to European sports events. Fans get to jump between quarters, kids get to try a freedrop for the first time, and the airbag becomes part of the show.

What to Expect When You Visit a Bagjump at a Summer Event

Every Bagjump setup at a summer event follows the same basic principle: safe, controlled, and open to everyone. Here is what a typical visit looks like.

Most events feature one of three setups. A 小型フリードロップ設定 with a jump height of around 4 meters, perfect for first-timers, kids over a minimum age, and quick throughput. A Large Freedrop Setup with heights of 6 to 10 meters for anyone wanting a bigger drop. And a 独立型エアバッグ setup, which is our most versatile product and can handle up to 360 jumps per hour depending on configuration.

Every Bagjump airbag at a public event is certified to EN ISO 23659:2022-11, the international safety standard for landing airbags. Each unit uses our patented replaceable air pillar system, which keeps the landing surface consistent no matter where you come down. On-site, trained staff operate the setup, brief every jumper, and monitor pressure and safety continuously.

Jumping on a Bagjump at a summer event is free at most public activations, requires no booking, and takes about two minutes from queue to landing. Most people jump once, and then get back in line for a second try.
