Bungee madness

A 22-year-old Australian thrill-seeker miraculously survived after her bungee cord snapped during a death-defying dive over crocodile infested waters in Africa on New Year’s Eve, according to local reports.

Erin Laung Worth told Australia’s Channel 9 that her feet were still bound together after she plummeted into the rapids below the 360-foot Victoria Falls bridge on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia.

“It went black straight away and I felt like I’d been slapped all over,” Worth told the station.

“It was quite scary because a couple of times the rope actually got caught on some rocks or debris,” the Aussie adrenalin junkie added.

“I actually had to swim down and yank the bungee cord out of whatever it was caught on to make it to the surface.”

This whole thing just escapes me. I guess it feels good when it’s over.
