What is Bungee Jumping?
Bungee jumping is a recreational activity that involves jumping from a high surface while attached to an elastic cord. One end of this elastic cord is attached to the jumper’s body, while the other end is attached to a fixed object at the jumping point. Typically, bungee jumping involves leaping from jumping points that are several hundred feet or more high. The elastic cord used in this activity is designed to stretch during the jumper's fall and snap back up repeatedly. This causes the jumper to bounce up and down over the length of the jumping area until the energy from the jump has decreased. So basically, the shorter definition is when you tie your self to a bridge or something like that. It should be about couple hundred feet or some sort of body of water. The make sure you are secure and jump with the rope or elastic cord tied to your feet.

My Opinion on this
 |
| First of all, I do not think this is a good idea if you are 18 and younger and 64+. I know I won't do this in my entire life because it is one of the most dangerous thing to do. What if the rope breaks? Then what are you going to do. I know I would want my life to end there and then. In the case of the actual activity, it's putting your faith in a flimsy piece of elastic. Just to say something, it is a very rare chance that your rope will break. Accidents only happen because the elastic cord is probably not securely secured. A cool fact about this extreme sport is that less than a hundred people have died by doing bungee jumping since 1979 to 2009. So, if you read all this information word for word, would you want to bungee jump?... |
