Bungee Jumping

Featured Replies

Once did a parachute jump but never fancied bungee. Too much likelihood of dodgy operators & this sort of thing happening.....

That's it I am now cancelling the bungee jump i had planned.

 

I would not do one as would be worried about bottling at last minute and looking a right twat.

I did that one in 99, that is some drop from where it snapped, very lucky to survive

She'd be lucky to survive the full drop admittedly, but at the end of the stretchiness your body stops falling and starts rising. At this point you are still. Say this point is 20' above the water, I'd say that this was about a 20' fall, not a 111m fall they are putting it across as.

Unless the rope snapped before the 'bounce', but yes I doubt she'd survive a drop like that.

 

I had no qualms throwing myself out of a plane at 10,000 m, but no way would I do a bungee.

I reckon there's a preeeettttyyy fat pay out coming her way.

 

Where there's blame, there is a claim!

It was a no strings attached deal, so she probably won't get owt

Definately more than a 20 fall, I will see if I can upload my video, it shows it from a different angle and you will realise how big the gap is from full stretch to the water

Was I alone thinking s=ut+½at2 ? :glare:
