Bungee Jumping is a thrilling activity which involves jumping from a tall fixed structure and a long elastic cord. In this activity, the bungee jumper is attached to the elastic cord and to the structure. When he jumps he is secured from falling down on the ground by only inches and he is pulled upwards again as the elastic cord recoils. This can be done from a fixed tall object such as a tower, bridge, cliff or crane. It can also be done from movable objects like a helicopter or a hot air balloon.
Bungee Jumping can be very damaging to health. The most common injury that occurs due to bungee jumping is eyesight damage and upper body injuries due to the abrupt rise when the cord recoils.
