Each to their own, but I'll never understand why you'd wanna do that...

I would never do it at a place where I think there would be a chance of it not being 100% maintained.

I did a bungee jump in new Zealand at a lot higher drop than the one in the video. The company (A J Hackett) were one of the first bungee jump companies in the world and in their 30+ years of jumps they have never had even a slight injury never mind a fatality or rope snapping etc...

It was the scariest and most awesome thing I have ever down.

By the sounds of it she was lucky to be Australian. Had she been Japanese, Korean or Irish, then stereotypical swimming skills would have ensured her drowning.

:P

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.
