What is bungee jumping?
Bungee jumping, also called machine rope jumping, is called "stupid pig needle" or "stupid pig jump" in Guangzhou. Bungee jumping originated in New Zealand and is a rite of passage for Maori. Now it has developed into an extreme sport that is popular all over the world and deeply loved by young people. This is a very exciting outdoor leisure activity.
The jumper stands on a bridge, tower, tall building, crane or even hot air balloon with a height of more than 40 meters (equivalent to 10 floor), ties a long rubber strip with one end fixed to his ankle, then opens his arms, puts his legs together and jumps upside down. The rubber band tied to the high jumper's ankle is long enough for the high jumper to enjoy a few seconds of "free fall" in the air.
When the human body falls to a certain distance from the ground, pull and tighten the rubber rope to prevent the human body from falling further. At the lowest point, the rubber bounces again, and the human body is pulled up and then falls. This is repeated many times until the elasticity of the rubber rope disappears. This is the whole process of bungee jumping.

What should I pay attention to when playing bungee jumping?
1, bungee jumping requires high physical fitness. No one with a history of heart and brain can participate, and people with deep myopia should be cautious, because when jumping hard, the human body falls at an acceleration of 9.8 meters per second, which is easy to cause retinal detachment due to brain congestion. Before jumping, you should fully move all parts of your body to prevent sprain or strain.
Bungee jumpers should dress simply and fit as well as possible. Don't wear clothes that fly easily, and don't go for a ride, or you'll be exposed and nobody will take care of it. Pay attention to control your body after jumping out, and don't let your neck or arm get entangled in the elastic rope.
Make sure the weather is very good before choosing bungee jumping. If the wind is strong, it will affect your bouncing deviation and bring you an uneasy identity. If it rains in the mainland, or it often rains recently, the rope may get wet, which will also cause.
