Bungee jump goes wrong but a question

[Angst]

And i was thinking about possibly maybe one day having a go at bunjee jumping, not anymore.

At 0:30-0:31, a sweary that didn't get bleeped out!

At what point? After it snaps?

After it passes the person.

lol

All the beeps could they not use any other adjectives...


Shouldn't the rope have been examined each day for wear and tear?

typical women lying about their weight

Yeah that's right, and if you listen very carefully to the vid you can hear her screaming 'does my bum look big on this bungee rope?!' as she plumetts towards the river.

Must have stung/stang/stinged when she hit the water though! Miraculous escape alright, surprised there wasn't more hysteria from the onlookers on the bridge, they sounded relatively calm considering what they'd just witnessed.

Good old African build and maintenance quality at work there.

Funny you should say that mate. Me and the missus where there in 1998 and having done many a bungy I had decided to do this one too being 111m and in a stunning location.

However, whilst walking over the bridge to Zambia I checked these guys out.

Basically they were lying about smoking weed.

I chickened out at that point.

It's not miraculous that she didn't die from the fall. it's miraculous that she wasn't eaten by a crocodile, of which there are many in the Zambezi.

Source; I was there three weeks ago.

There aren't many crocs there at all. In fact it's near where all the rafting companies set off. I reckon in about 20 miles on the river I saw 3 or 4.

As mentioned it's far too near the falls and fast moving rapids for the crocs.
