[babbahoots]

I agree with ne0tnc, there was a slight bounce/tort rope which softened her fall. She didn't free-fall straight into the river

[TheMingachimp]

Thats what you get for jumping in backward 3 rd world countrys

[ronaldo96606]

calm down batman...

[crazysquanda]

She only survived cause she had stopped moving right before she bounced back there was no velocity when the cord snapped so yeah she technically she only fell about 20-50 feet still pretty Damn impressive but luck and timing and velocity has a lot to do with it

[dewakoro]

Praise God she survived

[batman83052]

@dewakoro SHUTUP DONT EVEN SAY A THING ABOUT YOUR FAKE FRIEND

[Akkanb18c]

Respawn back in the kitchen 3...2...1

[TheWithKid]

The thing people don't understand is that she didn't get any bounce back from the bungee cord...she fell the entire height from the bridge to the water

[Ne0tmc]

@TheWithKid are u thick? there had to be a bounce back so there was tort on the rope to make it snap lmao, so she only fell from when the rope snapped (it slowed her down). she wud be a pile of goo if she fell the entire height u goon

[TheWithKid]

@Ne0tmc There doesn't have to be a bounce back, the weight that would've been propelled back up ( Her weight ) was the weights that snapped the cord. You can see it in the video, also, listen to the news reports and her account of it, you truly are an idiot.

[Ne0tmc]

@TheWithKid lmaoooooo, you've just reinforced the point i made u donkey, ur arguing against urself lmao! only on youtube hahah...classic

[TheWithKid]

@Ne0tmc If you re-read my comment, you'll find that you're entirely incorrect, I'm not reinforcing your point. " the weight that WOULD'VE propelled back up " emphasis on the " would've ". At no point did I say the weight was distributed upwards and there was a bounce back. Don't like to argue with idiots as they drag you down to their level and beat you on experience but you' re a fucking idiot! Hahahaa

[TheSimpsonsWorld]

Theres a lesson to be learned here......

[lazarus921]

She forgot to say thank you to the rescuers ...oh wait they were just dangling there staring like idiots.

[PrestitoCoD4]

0:09 Bottom of the scree, THAT has to be a crocodile

[Quartz482]

THIS is the essence of extreme sports. You are agreeing to risk your life for a couple of minutes of a thrill. She cant complain now after realizing that part of the thrill was the risk of death and injury. In fact, it proves to her that the risk was legit and if she would like to take another turn perhaps this experience would make the next that much more enjoyable.

[Quartz482]

she was offered an apology and a voucher for their skydiving tour....

[ushouldbacomedian]

And the rescue swimmer just hangin out the whole time... Nice.

[BostonFan990]

@AnonRymal u sign ur life away before bungee jumping u can't sue them dumbass

[Styleeishable]

OMG... never wanted to bungee jump... THIS IS WHY!

[pacman812]

@Styleeishable AND YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS!

[FILTHYFAKE]

oh well its water under the bridge now...

[MrTarryhoot]

@FILTHYFAKE  Hey!, my crappy one liner was better than your crappy

one liner. :)

[sr016ify]

Omg thank u god that she survived!

Poor girl all the cuts on her. Atleast she's survived :)

[5744ellis]

@sr016ify Maybe God was responsible in the first place for making the cord snap....

He works in mysterious ways.....lol

[McRosco95]

Holy shit that fucked up her face!

[AnonRymal]

Thank god it was water beneath and not concrete or something. She should sue them for every damn penny!!!

[lxproAnarchyxl]

Bungee jumps are like hookers...they both cost £100 and if the rubber breaks your screwed!

[TheMattZer]

Commentator: Yes you saw right...a women bungee jumps of a bridge and the cord snaps....she's dead

[Lethaldazzo]

i wish i was her right now think how much she will get by sueing the cunts and gettin a fuck load of compo she could of died from bungee jump or be eatan alive or dead i would sue the fuckers dry cleaned and take every penny

[xCraveARavex]

@Lethaldazzo usually they make you sign a disclaimer, hence rendering it impossible to sue.

[sunshyneNrainxx]

Falling tied to a cord = arrow to knee

[Mrxbladezz]

Remind me if I ever do a bungee to do it over water

[TeHFooL123]

@Mrxbladezz better over water than solid ground right?

[homersaucy]

Gregboyd no one needs to hear your racial slander get out of here

[trissyt22]

"her cord snapped" makes it sound like her umbilical cord

[Stacey9490]

There's a law suit for ya

[shivercanada]

I'm glad she's ok and she bounced back from it.

...Ah thank you very much

[robthecrusher]

I hope she sues fuck out of them... but then again I would say that because i'm her out of work boyfriend.

[JohnnyBee48]

Yeah, she was a lucky lass all right - could have been a lot worse. Looks to me like the cord actually stopped her before reaching the bottom of the travel though - anyone notice the fact that the broken end of the rope hit the water before she did?

[IrishAfricanDude]

she is well dying to do it all again ... Look at the excitement on her

[TheBalcerman]

The closest possible crocodile was probably about 10km from there. There's no crocs in where jump takes place. And all the news repeating the same bullshit on and on anyway because there are some (not a lot) crocodiles several miles away.

[georgielovesu013]

Poor gurl :( glad she's alive tho

[Jabikz]

She'll probably take the high road after that one.

[TheSimpsonsWorld]

I'm unsure whether this is more of a Bungee Jump Fail rather than a Bungee Jump fall. Im really happy she was ok tho!

[TheSimpsonsWorld]

HOW DARE MrTarryhoot TAKE UP BOTH PLACES IN TOP COMMENTS!!!! >:(

[MrTarryhoot]

@TheSimpsonsWorld My reign was brief and bright, cest la vie

[TheSimpsonsWorld]

@MrTarryhoot ahh well you did well! :P my top comments causing me to be the king on some videos! .....over 100 likes on 1 vid :)

[fetymann]

here's the fucking uncensored version!  /watch?v=BCI3vdh2VQ8

[FUOPEC1]

African 3rd world bungee cord.

[ironbridge2000]

Yabba, dabba, dooooooooo

[xxrayna]

I'm a rock climber and know from experience that every time a rock climber dies a bunch of people (non climbers) start making comments like "what did she think was going to happen?". They obviously don't understand the risks. The risks are low but deadly. Rock Climbers and Bungee Jumpers alike accept these risks. It is an inherently dangerous sport, accidents happen. Sometimes it's preventable, sometimes it isn't. Being an armchair quarterback is easy. stop criticizing what you don't understand.

[TheDynamicDriveler]

Fortunately for her the cord absorbed a great deal of energy before it broke otherwise she likely would not have survived the impact

[Umpikhel]

Why you would do a bungee jump in the middle of Africa when she could just do it in Australia.

[htcwildfire2]

Well, it could have been worst, she could have been ugly then who the hell cares

[shazta88]

Just dont do that shit in the first place. Fully man

[SparkCheung]

WTF!What the poor rope!

Is the rope made in China?!

[00bong]

That's why women should lie about their weight

[mnnh1]

On yeah- i forgot! They would also have to pay off the mandatory bribe to the official responsible for overseeing the safety of this business- to give them the all clear! Doesnt take Shylock to see that the equipment isnt maintained the way it should be!

[mnnh1]

In a civilsed society this company would be shut down immediately by a health and safety executive pending ian independent investigation! Because this Africa, these guys will tie the cord back on and continue trading tommorrow, like nothing happened!

[Xelyk123]

Thank goodness she was in shock from hitting the water, that'd be so terrible if she had to endure almost drawning and the horrible pain she probably felt the next day! D:

[FlyingComic]

They probably hated her for her freedom.

[mnnh1]

That is one tatty old bungee cord!

[mnnh1]

What did she expect bugee jumping in Zimbabwe!

[russelljones365]

Per their Facebook page: "At our pre-jump orientation we brief all our clients on the inherent risks of the sport and how they should safely navigate both the rapids and the crocs with their legs bound together in the event of just such a mechanical failure. We consider this type of equipment malfunction as being just part of the "adventure". We have never yet killed a client, and until such time, we will maintain that we do indeed have a "100% safety record"." You can't make this stuff up!

[Wh47n0w1517]

The Crocs saw the bungee cord, the Crocs thought they were using live bait to try and catch them....=)-

[DistressNDistrust]

What little I Knoww about crocs. She Prolly scare the Nutz off of them by Living and Instant reaction.. Me No Worry I Would Have Broke a stone with my Coconut Then Thought I was Looking for me Baseball. You See Me BaseBall??

[MrIzzydye]

Aussie chicks rock.

[stephano1990]

Why in hell would you even bungee jump in Africa? If they even have safety standards, they will simply be paid off. You need to have a death wish to jump there!

[ojayize]

@stephano1990 you are an idiot for your age if you were born in 1990 , accidents happen all over the world havent you ever read newspapers or watched tv and seen all sorts of accidents like nuclear explosions in so called first world countries that claim many lives?? ..she was just unlucky to have been her turn when that happened ..im glad she survived..you must think broad

[TheEmarbe]

@stephano1990 foolish. I bet you think crime doesn't exist on your country either.....

[terakretonia]

I guess the crocodiles * puts on sunglasses *

ain't snappy

YEEAAAAAHH

[damienp1988]

[rm02px]

"Hey. let bunjee right under crocodile infested waters?!?!" Sounds like a great idea! WOO HOO WOO HOO!

[henry2450]

So, No one is gonna try that jumping thing again?

[3y3n5tyn]

why/how did the bungee cord break?

[robertghouston]

Y'know perhaps bungee jumpers should have a safety bungee cord, similar to skydivers who have backup parachutes.

[09readyw]

Seriously what did you expect from bungee jumping in africa

[westq2]

@09readyw accidents happen everywhere

[MrGamerscore4life]

@westq2 it was an accident it was poor maintance by zimbabweans

[senanelo201]

@09readyw Indeed what did she expect? It's like someone coming to Europe or US in search of honest folks who are not after materialistic sh#t :P

[sweetpete420]
