EnterTheVoid Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 The cord snapping, every BASE/Bungy jumpers' fear. From personal experience, I can tell you, that is the worst thing imaginable when it comes to these type of jumps.
suraj Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Hilarious comment by the bungee company- "Faulty cord will be replaced & jump is safe Explain to me WTF is safe about a cord breaking and a woman almost dying??? C h e w t i y e
akshayxyz Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Aren't they supposed to have some backup mechanism, a back up chord or something? (didn't read the article)

akshayxyz Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 thats scary to say the least, so the cord snapped right at the point where there was no backup joint/cord - the only single point of failure in the whole setup, i guess.
Yoda-esque Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-16508829 Can any of our ministers do anything to save our country's reputation?
nikred Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-16508829 Can any of our ministers do anything to save our country's reputation? 1 in150,000 results in snapping of the cord???? No more bunzee-zumping foe me.
