A young Australian woman is recovering after her bungee cord snapped and sent her plunging into the Zambezi River. Erin Langworthy, 22, was jumping off the 111m-high Victoria Falls Bridge in Zimbabwe when the rope snapped. She hit the water and blacked out. But recovered and freed the bungee cord after it became trapped on a rock before swimming to the side of the river.
She is recovering after being rushed to a hospital in South Africa for treatment on cuts and bruises.

Oh, snap!

Well at least the cord slowed her fall considerably. You can't be a cheap bastard with those bungee cords, they need to be replaced often.
