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.
