Perhaps its not a good idea to challenge the authority of gravity in this manner.

70-foot bungee-jump feature at Get Air at the Silo when she fell.


She didn’t fall, she jumped. It’s almost quantum mechanics how an even cannot be characterized until you know how it came out. Like the 9/11 incident went from an outrage to a tragedy in roughly the same time it took to determine if there was anyone left alive of the terrorists to wreak outrage on. No one of the immediate killers were alive, so the event became a tragedy. Flags came down and yellow ribbons went up.

That is an extremely dangerous activity. Even when I was fully healthy and somewhat active, I never wanted to bungee jump. The idea of having my arms torn off my falling body held very little appeal then and now. There are better ways to get a rush.

How is someone smart enough to get a nursing degree also stupid enough to go bungee jumping?

I bungee jumped once in my life, in NZ. After a few drinks.
I said to the Kiwi guy, “This is safe, right?”
He gave the appropriate answer, “Well, if it’s not we’ll all be here late, right?” Sounds like that’s what happened.

I used to ride motorcycles recklessly. I shiver today at some of the things I did 40+ years ago. But “I was in control”. I never sky dove (is that correct?). But I thought about doing it as long as “I was in control “

Bungee? Bouncing around helter skelter on the end of a rubber band? No thanks.

A Colorado woman’s death remains a mystery

It's 2018 - gravity is not a mystery.

“remains a mystery “ translation: we don’t know. She did something wrong and died.

You jump off a high place with a flexible rope and you expect to live?

It’s risky, like skydiving. If you choose to do it, you must be aware of the risks, and fully accept the consequences which you cannot blame on anyone other than yourself.

No sympathy from me.
