The bungee cord holding an Australian tourist snapped during a trip to Zimbabwe, plunging her into crocodile-infested waters.
Erin Langworthy, 22, had jumped from the Victoria Falls bridge above the Zambezi River, when the cord snapped in two, according to Australia’s Channel 9 News.
"It went black straight away and I felt like I had been slapped all over," Langworthy told the station of the New Year’s Eve incident.

Anyone dumb enough to actually do one of those things deserves anything that happens to him/her.
I’m happy that she’ll live, but if she hadn’t, it would be a case of, “Sometimes unutterable stupidity results in a fatal outcome.”
Adrenaline addiction is hard to fathom for those that don’t suffer from it.
Watch the vid!
I think Laz would slap her all over!!
Yes, isn’t the possibility of dying part of the thrill?
What an idiot
"she has great form"
Only and Australian could survive something like that...and smile afterwards.
Definite d\Darwin Award meterial. Starting with touring in Zimbabwe.
But I never paid anyone cash money to do something that dumb. And I would have inspected the bungee cord foot by foot first.
It would have been pure accident. I swear.

My first thought: She cheated Darwin.
"I would have created two headlines....my fat a&& would have snapped that cord so loud people would have thought thunder in a cloudless sky.....and the resulting Tsunami putting crocs in fweakin orbit"
The future Mrs. Crocodile Dundee.
Well look at that.......stupid-on-a-string. Some baboons were sitting there watching.
“They’re supposed to have evolved from us? No damn way. There’s no baboon that stupid.”
I tend to get in trouble in more plebian ways. I don't pay good cash money to folks to help me risk my life (well, except for those two times, and the girls needed the money).

In 1999, I saw a bunch of French speakers bungee jumping off a disused bridge over the Colorado River in northern Arizona. At the eastern approach to the replacement bridge was a big sign welcoming you to Navaho Nation territory. The old road and bridge span was used as a rest stop, where you could park and buy Navaho trinkets and refreshments.
The local sheriff and a couple of deputies was there trying to keep them doing it, without any success. He drove off in a huff, and the deputies departed soon afterward. Apparently, it was sovereign Navaho territory.
We stayed long enough to watch the first guy jump. The look on his face was something. He looked a lot more terrified than exhilerated.
Right up there with getting "ink."
The list of things that one can do to advertise his stupidity keeps getting longer.
