The latest in extreme sports, but would you bungee jump without a cord?

neither would I, but then I never jumped out of a perfectly good airplane either...

Cpl Justin Goolsby - That wasn't even bungee jumping that was doing a face plant of the bridge and hoping the magnets work, otherwise that helmet would be useful in keeping your brain contained to a small area as your head impacted the ground.

Cpl Justin Goolsby - I remember the videos from when bungee jumping first started... the cords were a little long, I decided I would ever do that.

That's the thing that always gets me. When you jump out of a plane, you inspect your parachute, you make sure it's serviceable and in good working condition. But you never see people who bungee jump measuring the length of cord from the base of the ground all the way up to the jump off point. You never see someone verifying the elasticity of the cord before a jump. The rope might only be 100 meters long, but if it stretches to 150 meters and the ground is at 140 meters, that's a broken face, neck, back, and death. I've honestly never seen anyone op-check a bungee jump so I'll stay away from them.

PO3 Steven Sherrill - So they wouldn't have to look far for his braincase. Ok. Now the headgear makes sense.

That might be all the times get...
