People still bungee jump?


/wouldn't have cared if she became alligator feed

Who cares, the second coming is happening in Denver at the moment

and don't forget, she was washed downriver in the rapids...

Don't bungee jump in Africa.

Darwin looks a bit disappointed.

I'm imagining the Raul's Wild Kingdom guy teaching poodles how to fly... "There she goes! .... awww, maaaan...."

And I bet she never quit complaining the whole way...

"If you had a better job I could afford the sort of bungee cords I am accustomed to using..."

Seeing this earlier and the video with her alive talking about it made me think that there was a lack of an infestation.

/damnit Nature
//restock your crocs

The only water in Australia NOT infested with crocs is my bog bowl, mate.

/ did RTFA, don't care

In other news, some people are stupid enough to bungee jump over crocodile-infested waters

I bet she is white.

That looked like a pretty gnarly rapid too. And her feet were still tied together. Her surviving that is more impressive than the crocs. Do crocs even hunt near rapids?

Those are quite the eyebrows

Also oblig (new window)

once in a while I come across the pictures my girlfriend took of me jumping. They give me the willys now. Not sure what I was thinking.

OK, so just what did this 'cord snap' look like?

The crocodile aspect has nothing to do with it. They're not going to attack except under extreme circumstances.

That said, i bet she paid extra for jumping over "crocodile infested waters".

So was that EXTREEEEEEEME!!!1! enough for ya, Miss Adventure?

I have my Class A skydiving license and have made over 30 jumps, but I will never bungee jump. At least if something goes wrong while skydiving you often have at least a few seconds to try and recover. With bungee jumping you know something went wrong because you just smacked the ground!

I have come across lots of pictures, a laptop screen even my smart phone but you fap to pictures of yourself? That's some kink.

Once you understand why you will not bungee jump, you understand why most people will not skydive. Your tolerance is just half a percent higher than most people's.

So, are we gonna nominate the ghost of Pocho the friendly crocodile for candidacy as a saint? I think the Vatican's pretty open on nominations these days.

I understand why most people do not skydive, but it still baffles me as it is statistically safer than driving.

Consider for a moment the type of person that says to themselves, "Gee, I wonder which is statistically safer.. skydiving, or bungee jumping. I'd better thoroughly research it and change my behavior accordingly."

They don't exist. Most people realize they're both stupid.

I rarely drive for fun (any more*), but if you commute to work by jumping out of a plane your life is rather different from mine.

It ain't over... fat lady... all that!

You sound like your testicles are very, very small or nonexistent.

Why don't you go swimming in the NT and test that theory...

Bungee jumping with a rope that frayed? I'm downgrading the tag from SCARY to DUMBASS.

Is it just me or does that cord look EXTREMELY frayed?

misanthropic1:

You sound like the type of person who often thinks about dudes' testicles in otherwise completely unrelated situations.

Not that there's anything wrong with it. Try not to suck any dicks on the way out of the plane.

That's an enormous caboose on such a tiny locomotive. It's a good design choice, who is that?

I would do a lot of crazy things, but I wouldn't bungee jump or skydive. I would go onto that observation deck that hangs over into the Grand Canyon, but would not walk along the edge of said Canyon. Have canoed into seriously alligator infested waters - I love alligators - but would not do it again, after one of the little darlings half-heartedly lunged at me.

Some risks are fun, some are stoopid.

Everything is statistically safer than driving.

The big things on my bucket list:
Skydive
Bungee jump
BASE jump
March in Carnival in Rio

Security footage...



/8- bit tarzan yell is now in your head

Wait, what? You fall into the water next to a bunch of crocs and they're coming after you.

Spoken like someone who has never been around a crocodile in their lives, but whose entire exposure to the animal is "reading up on it" on the internet.

There are many different species of crocodile, and only a very small portion of them are even remotely interested in humans. The crocodiles of inland Australia are not among these species. Of those that actually are interested, the younger ones won't even bother trying. You're looking at a very, very small portion of crocodiles that are capable of killing a human. Seeing as how they're a pretty smart animal, they know this. The others don't bother trying.
