BUNGEE JUMPING, me love!

I have always wanted to try out all the challenging and furious activities. I browsed through google last night and keyed in "the world's most deadly and dangerous sports" @ the search engine. And I found a list of sports that people are likely to get hurt. The most rated dangerous sport is horseback riding, next is cheerleading. Cheerleaders often like to do risky gymnastic moves and use their athletic ability to flip and even catapult one another into the air, with advance and amazing stunts that can rival the enthusiasm of any football or basketball game. Lacrosse locates @ the third place and Bull Riding, the fourth. It is a mechanical bull ride! Oh and and and bungee jumping is also included in the list of most dangerous sport.

From my point of view bungee jumping is far more dangerous than sky diving or any other sports. It is because jumpers are asked to jump from a fixed tall structure of at least 100 feets from the ground which is connected to a large elastic cord. And there is no parachute provided for jumpers to get onto the ground safely. Let's picture a rubber band snaps in a sudden, can you imagine how scary it is! Jumpers will be suffering from vision loss and emotional distress. They have to conquer their fears as long as they want to bungee jump! In general, it is possible for jumpers to suffer from heart attack in a sudden. Besides, jumpers may also get injured and they could even die from massive trauma.

Jumpers usually experience free-falling and being weightless. Rebound from the ground and being weightless are the most exciting parts which inspire me to try on.
