Perhaps its not a good idea to challenge the authority of gravity in this manner.

70-foot bungee-jump feature at Get Air at the Silo when she fell.
She didn’t fall, she jumped. It’s almost quantum mechanics how an even cannot be characterized until you know how it came out. Like the 9/11 incident went from an outrage to a tragedy in roughly the same time it took to determine if there was anyone left alive of the terrorists to wreak outrage on. No one of the immediate killers were alive, so the event became a tragedy. Flags came down and yellow ribbons went up.

That is an extremely dangerous activity. Even when I was fully healthy and somewhat active, I never wanted to bungee jump. The idea of having my arms torn off my falling body held very little appeal then and now. There are better ways to get a rush.

How is someone smart enough to get a nursing degree also stupid enough to go bungee jumping?

Probably a CNA, Certified Nursing Assistant. Sometimes they know more than the actual nurse, because they spend more time with the patient.

Young to be a Nurse, RN?Many nurses go on for a BSRN (Bachelor of Science, Registered Nurse). It takes a full four years for that. We have one in the family. You have more responsibilities and better career prospects.

Gravity. It’s not just a theory, it’s a law.

The idea of having my arms torn off my falling body.
The straps are attached at the ankles, so its more likely your feet would be ripped off, not your arms!

Far worse when it is in shithole country where tourists line up to have a couple of 3rd grade educated pot smoking local “dudes” clip them on to a caribeener that has been around for who knows how long and jump off a cliff, railroad overpass, footbridge or whatnot.
