Bungee Jumping or Bungy jumping was considered as the most funkiest/scary/dare devil stunt until our own Ilaya dhalapathi did it in one of his movies...then the association of bungee jumpers decided not to term it as a dare devil stunt....hehe!!
Kiwis started practising this stunt way back in 1930..and the word bungy was found by a New Zealander named AJ Hackett...and it means "Elastic Strap" ... Our James Bond 007 uses a rope to do bungy jumping in his movie..mmm...i forgot the name(comment on the movie name plz)..think its Golden Eye...wer he stops the acceleration using his hi-tech gadget...or else he wud hav been hanging there for another 20 mins or so....S...after elongating fully the elastic rope accelerates again and it stops only wen the momentum stops.....general physicometry of elastic....hehe
People who does this makes it to luk so simple......but few.....no most of them are scared to stand on the tip of the launch pad and viewing a fall which ranges from 216m to 321m...that is equivalent to the height of "Burj Dubai hotel"...cool info rite???
The jump might have several effects on the bugee jumpers if its not done in the way it shud have been...One can be injured during a jump if the safety harness fails, the cord elasticity is miscalculated, or the cord is not properly connected to the jump platform. In most cases this is a result of human error in the form of mishandled harness preparation. Another major injury is if the jumper experiences cord entanglement with his/her own body.thats it...u dont have to come down...u can go up to the heaven/hell directly...eye trauma,rope burn, uterine prolapse, dislocations, bruises, pinched fingers(wondering how this cud happen?) and back injury... one of a 16-member professional bungee jumping team, died of massive cranial trauma when she jumped from the top level of the Lousiana Superdome with improperly handled bungee cords and smashed head-first into the concrete-based playing field. She was practicing for an exhibition intended to be performed during the halftime show of the superbowl. The bungee jumping portion of the show was removed from the program and a commemoration of Patterson was added.
