Страсти то какие. Вот чего я однозначно никогда не стану делать. А вы бы хотели прыгнуть?

Ни в жизнь!

Лет на тридцать раньше может быть. Но только с парашютом, банджи я не доверяю.

Вот и я. Парашют ещё туда сюда. А прыгать на неизвестно кем сделанной китайской веревке непонятной длины - нУ его!!!

Или просто разумен. Никогда не тянуло даже к менее опасным занятиям.

Да, тем более известны случаи, когда если не веревка рвалась, то ударялись обо что-то там. И вообще это вредно, даже если не стукаться ничем.

Bungee jumping injuries may be divided into those that occur after jumping secondary to equipment mishap or tragic accident, and those that occur regardless of safety measures. In the first instance, injury can happen if the safety harness fails, the cord elasticity is miscalculated, or the cord is not properly connected to the jump platform. In 1986 Michael Lush died of multiple injuries after bungee jumping for a stunt on a BBC television programme and in 1997 Laura Patterson, one of a 16-member professional bungee jumping team, died of massive cranial trauma when she jumped from the top level of the Louisiana Superdome and collided head-first into the concrete-based playing field. She was practicing for an exhibition intended to be performed during the halftime show of Super Bowl XXXI. In 2002 Chris Thomas died after his harness tore off during a charity jump in Swansea, Wales: it was later claimed that the harness was not safe for his weight.[22] On New Year's Eve 2011, Erin Langworthy, an Australian woman was plunged into the Zambezi River at Victoria Falls, where she nearly drowned with her feet still tied together after her bungee rope snapped during a jump.[23]

Injuries that occur despite safety measures generally relate to the abrupt rise in upper body intravascular pressure during bungee cord recoil. Eyesight damage is the most frequently reported complication.[24][25][26][27][28] Impaired eyesight secondary to retinal haemorrhage may be transient [26] or take several weeks to resolve.[29] In one case, a 26 year old woman's eyesight was still impaired after 7 months.[30] Whiplash injuries may occur as the jumper is jolted on the bungee cord and in at least one case, this has led to quadriplegia secondary to a broken neck. Very serious injury can also occur if the jumper's neck or body gets entangled in the cord.[31] More recently, carotid artery dissection leading to a type of stroke after bungee jumping has also been described.[32] All of these injuries have occurred in fit and healthy people in their twenties and thirties. Bungee jumping has also been shown to increase stress and decrease immune function.[33]
