Was the chord B-flat?

I've read it. The accident rate for bungee is very low, especially around here.

Reminds me of a joke I heard once.

A broken rubber brought me into this world and it sure as hell isn't going to take me out.

Who thinks bungee jumping in between Zimbabwe and Zambia is a good idea?
NSFW!


Mods, delete it if it is too over the line.

Call me a racist, but there are a good many activities that I would do in Switzerland that I wouldn't think of doing in Zambia.

As for Bungee jumping, that IS something I did in Switzerland, and it was AWESOME. Highly recommended.
Did the jump just outside of Capetown a few years ago - can't remember the name of it, but I believe at the time, was the world's largest bungee jump... Amazing experience outside of walking out to it on grading that was only tack welded on the four corners, problem being, a lot of the welds had broke off and the grading was far less safe than the jump itself.

I bungee jumped off the same bridge, and whitewater rafted in that section of the Zambezi. I'd be surprised if there were crocs in that area, as the water is very fast moving - class 5 rapids in several sections. Certainly, none of our raft guides mentioned crocs in the water, and we all ended up in the water several times, guides included.

I did break my toe when my foot caught a rock after our raft had turned over
