Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Sunday, January 08, 2012

An Australian backpacker doing a bungee jump fell into the crocodile-infested Zambezi River in Zambia after the bungee cord broke. Erin Langworthy fell into the river from a height of 20 meters and had to swim to the Zimbabwe side of the river. "I actually had to swim down and yank the bungee cord out of whatever it was caught on to make it to the surface," she said.

Umm, he didn't fall into the river, he jumped. "falling" is like saying a skydiver whose parachute failed to open "fell" out of the airplane.

After his cord snapped, he was falling, buddy.

no, he was failing at bungee jumping.

Um, he was a "she". Did anyone view the fucking article?

"Did anyone view the fucking article?"

Yup.
Damn lucky.
Next time inspect the bungee.

/Obligatory.

At 22 one has rarely seen a glimpse of one's one mortality yet.

Think this gal got a pretty good look at hers here.

Be Well.

As mentioned in post #4, "he" was a "she" so your point is rather moot. Would you like to try again?

Sheesh! White folks.

feel better now?

Wow what an adventure!

From article:
*jump was operated by... Bungee Extreme, which confirmed it was looking into the incident.*

Uhhh - ya think??

I bungeed 2x in California (Lake Tahoe), 1993. Guessing it's probably a one-and-done for Erin though.

In Zambia? really????? A hotbed of safety I would imagine.

You know you've been living right when you survive a bungee cord break and a swim in river rapids with crocodiles.


Sheesh! White folks.

A truly Laissez Faire Capitalist system.

This is your bungee jumping without regulations and safety inspections.
