No way am I doing a bungee jump after seeing this. Miraculous for the bungeeist woman.

    Nothing to worry about - you can rest assured because the company - Safari Par Excellency - says the cord has been replaced.

    A lucky escape-dinner talk probably goes something like this

    There was this one time,at safari camp,so I was tied up and tossed in the Zambezi,no wait,that wasnt the worst bit..
    Whats the solution? Just pedal faster you baby.

    Couldn't get the sound at work, but that looked hella horrific. I couldn't hear her talking so was that all skin grafts on her arms and back that were in the video? If so that must have been very, very sore. :shock:

    One thing is to survive a snapped Bunji cord,but to survive after a landing in croc infested waters is a feat in itself.

    Amazingly the rope was still tied between her feet. It got caught in the rocks on the riverbed and she apparently had to swim down to untie it. Pretty lucky escape.

    The company were quoted as saying there is nothing to worry about the enterprise is perfectly safe! LOL, wtf?

    This kind of sums up my feelings about Bungee in general...
