Bungee jumping is very popular all over the world. Almost every tourist resort has bungee jumping that attracts young people and adventurers. You only need to pay to attend. Most of them don't need a health certificate, experience has proved, or even a clear head. Some countries have strict management on bungee jumping, but some places don't.

In fact, bungee jumping is a dangerous activity that needs careful preparation and strict management. However, the large number of casualties caused by bungee jumping shows that there is no safety standard for bungee jumping in the world. Therefore, under a strong sense of security,

In this area, your efforts will be rewarded considerably: an exciting and death-challenging fall, followed by a series of gradually weakening bounces. Finally, you were put down near the ground, and you were satisfactorily released from an experience at the critical point of death. However, if this simple operation activity is not well managed and the organization is lax, then the result may be tragedy.

A bungee club with a good reputation should minimize the possibility of danger. But the most important bungee jumping accidents are caused by human factors. In June of 200 1 year, a young French woman died of bungee jumping and her friend was injured. The cause of the accident was that the bungee organizer failed to add elastic rope when two people jumped at the same time. Only one rope was broken and the woman died.

If you want to participate in bungee jumping, please pay attention to the following points:

★ The organizer of bungee jumping activities should be a legally operated company. Bungee jumping coaches should have qualifications, common sense and experience. Many organizers who are eager for quick success and instant benefit simply lack experience and equipment. According to records, the first death accident of bungee jumping was because the coach didn't tie the rope properly. The rope seems to be tied to the hook, but it is not. Besides, since bungee jumping is an adventurous activity, you'd better take insurance.

★ There are several ways to tie a tourist to a rope-put a belt on his body and tie his ankle, leg or arm. Either way, your safety depends on whether you fasten your seat belt or not. If the tie looks old, or if you think there is something wrong, don't jump.

There are also accidents caused by people falling from the elevator that is rising to the bungee jumping point. So be sure to sit still before the elevator starts, and don't tie the bungee cord before the elevator starts, otherwise the cord will easily get tangled up.

★ Many bungee jumping points are equipped with different ropes for different weights. These ropes have different colors and labels to indicate which weight range they are suitable for. Ask the coach the size of the rope. Don't jump if you are not satisfied.

Some places offer very dangerous bungee jumping. For example, some bungee jumping, two people jump up and down uncontrollably in a narrow space. They may collide with each other and the ropes may get tangled. Unless you are very experienced and there is enough space between bungee jumpers, you should avoid this dangerous way.

★ There is also a sandbag bungee jumping. During the activity, bungee jumping holds heavy objects by throwing them away when it is close to the ground. Because you are much heavier when you fall, the strength gathered by the elastic rope can make you pop up higher than the original platform. The danger of this activity is that you may bump into the platform.

Make sure the weather is good before you decide to bungee jump. If the wind is strong, it will affect your jumping direction and bring unsafe factors. If it rains locally, or it often rains recently, the rope may get wet, which will also cause safety hazards.

Before jumping, make sure all the equipment can be used safely. Bungee jumping usually uses vertical hooks or springs to ensure safety, and these facilities should be firmly fixed in the right place. Because these equipments were not installed in the right place, an accident happened, so you should make sure that they are installed before taking off.

★ Don't take part in bungee jumping after drinking. Alcohol will not only damage your judgment, but also make you eager to take risks and pay little attention to safety measures.

★ Make sure that the rope is hung in such a way that you can bounce safely. If the rope is hooked or tangled, you may get hurt.

★ Many bungee jumping points use a main safety rope and a spare rope in case the first rope breaks. There has been such an accident, the first safety rope was broken, and the spare one was not the right length.

★ Don't bungee jump if the rope looks badly worn. The rope has a service life and must be replaced after the time limit. Some bungee managers may use ropes that exceed the time limit.

Bungee jumping is especially popular in tourist attractions with warm and sunny climate. The rope will be affected by sun exposure, so ultraviolet radiation should also be included in the factors that shorten the service life of the rope. If you want to bungee jump, you'd better do it in the morning before the rope is completely exposed to the sun and high temperature.
