Bungee jumping is an activity that involves jumping from a tall structure while connected to a large elastic cord. The tall structure is usually a fixed object, such as a building, bridge or crane; but it is also possible to jump from a movable object such as a hot air balloon, or a helicopter, that has the ability to hover above the ground.
Bungee jumping doesn’t require any special skills. All you have to do is gather your courage and jump. This was most likely the motivation of a woman who decided to jump off the La Negra Bridge in the province of Florida in Bolivia.
This woman seemed happy and relaxed during the final safety check. She had tapped the services of adventure tours company Andean Trek to organize the bungee jumping session for her.
Right before the woman did her bungee jump, an Andean Trek guide gives her some final tips. The man also performs safety checks on the woman’s bungee jumping equipment.
The woman was all smiles before she took the plunge. Several onlookers gathered near the bridge to see the woman as she makes her jump. But when this woman makes 50-feet bungee jump off the bridge, it goes horribly wrong!
By some miracle, the woman survived her shocking crash into the shallow riverbed. Everyone was in shocked! Onlookers scrambled to call an ambulance. The woman was in great pain when she was taken to a clinic for treatment.
Doctors said the woman only suffered minor injuries and they discharged her after a few days. Andean Trek paid for her medical bills.
Later, it was discovered that the rope brake failed on the woman’s bungee jumping gear. The said video of the failed bungee jump is now being used as a cautionary tale for Bolivia’s tour operators.
