@ libi: To be fair, if she'd jumped off a high bridge into crocodile infested waters without the bungee cord, she probably wouldn't have faired so well.
@ - (formerly without) : It amuses me imagining a point shortly after she'd been dragged from the river to safety where the guys running the show simply swap over the rope and ask "OK! Who's next?"
Incidentally I can't see it being too long before some dipshit wizkid invents a device that intentionally drops of you off the end of a bungee at a survivable distance and pace, say after the first bounce.
Although I suppose that already exists, in the form of a knife.
@ little_p : As a rule I never read the comments, but made an exception for this. Not great all round but I did particularly enjoy the people's favourite:
I had been wondering what it would take to get Make Art back here! Clearly I should have arranged for a just-shy-of-fatal accident for a complete stranger long ago.

yeah, this doesn't help sales.

@Make Art true. but. not jumping at all would've been the safest option
I agree. While I am no expert on such matters I do believe not jumping off a bridge is generally a safer option.
I'm not sure which is the best option though if it's a crocodile-infested bridge.
omg, and of course I had to read the comments.
I still have to do this at some point
