Bungee cord snaps above crocodile-infested waters

Quote:

Erin Langworthy had jumped from the Victoria Falls bridge above the Zambezi River, when the cord snapped in two.

She told Australia's Channel 9 News "it went black straight away and I felt liked I had been slapped all over".

She said she had to swim with her feet tied together to the Zimbabwe side of the water, and had to free the cord when it got caught on rocks.
Watch the video of the "snap" ..... :eek:

That's actually terrifying, imagine that happening to you

And this is confirmation why I'l never do anything like that, skydiving or anything else.

I hope there are no crocodiles in NZ, Ben.

Benjamin 08-01-2012 06:15 PM

I had this convo with Lucas the other day. There are no alligators or crocs in New Zealand. :laugh:


But there are these amazing little creatures:

It looks like a bird but it doesn't. D:

Smithy 08-01-2012 06:23 PM

it is a bird, it's a kiwi :amazed:

Benjamin 08-01-2012 06:26 PM

Yes, it's a kiwi. :amazed:


Back on topic, sorry Omah. Things like this don't put me off bungee's. The chances of this happening are slim.

Marc 08-01-2012 06:31 PM

Back on topic boys :nono:

:tongue:

Yeah, jumping is, probably, safer than driving to the jump ..... ;)

Similarly, hot-air ballooning ..... but when an accident happens, it confirms most people's worst fears ..... :eek:

fruit_cake 08-01-2012 08:44 PM
