Re: Man Dies After Bungee Jump Goes Wrong

The problem is people do not calculate properly the increased length in the rope when it is under tension from the force of the falling body. They measure it when the rope is in a relaxed state. It gets MUCH longer with a body falling. People should try to take physics in school if it is available.
That's crazy! You'd think a super easy remedy would be to do a few test drops with like a 250 lb punching bag. Or tie together a few sacks of potatoes or bags of beans or SOMETHING! That just seems like it would be an uncomplicated procedure that would be more than worth the payoff of safety precaution.

Lol!! Right after the camera went off, the guy at the top probably just said, "Next!", while pulling some slack out of the rope.

I love when they joyfully yell "Wooooe!" one second, then the next second they're dead as dead as can be

"Goes Wrong" is a matter of perspective.

Re: Man Dies After Bungee Jump Goes Wrong

Kind of alarmed that the wife and son didn't freak out. Well, the son I doubt knew what happened, being only 6 years old. But the wife, she should have noticed...
