PS went bungee jumping, survived, and came back a man

At least that's what I'm hearing, I have yet to verify this in person. I'm just very happy that everyone who decided to jump this weekend survived and did not suffer from any permanent or temporary injuries. Quite astonishing actually and I am relieved. I kept imagining a snap of a bungee cord and a 1000 foot plummet to death and a splattering of brains and guts (at least this is the order that things happen in my mind). But, none of this happened for which I am thankful both to God and the bungee instructor who maintains his equipment in working order. Please don't tempt fate again folks. Oh yeah, why wasn't anyone wearing a helmet? Or is that unnecessary. For some reason, bungee jumping would seem much safer if helmets were involved.

Blogging is stupid. That's all.

PS is jumping off a bridge on saturday and i object

I googled "dangers of bungee jumping" and this is what i got back from WikiAnswers: "the dangers are that 1 in a 100 will die doing bungee jumping but each time the things that killed some of them was heart attacks so make your health is as right as rain and always check with your gp also remember that the rope will never smap [sic] so dont worry about that." Cool.

Other possible dangers during a jump: safety harness failure, miscalculation of cord elasticity, or failure to properly connect cord to the jump platform. Major injury can occur if the jumper experiences cord entanglement. Other injuries include: eye trauma, rope burn, uterine prolapse, dislocations, bruises, whiplash, pinched fingers and back injury.

I have done nothing to warrant any person's desire to risk the possibility of the above injuries.

Please don't come back a quadriplegic. Thank you.
