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.

The straps are attached at the ankles, so it’s more likely your feet would be ripped off, not your arms!

Not particularly.

Riding a bike is dangerous. Playing football is dangerous. Bungee jumping has a fatality rate of 1:500,000 with less than 100 recorded deaths.
