BUNGEE JUMPING
Have you ever heard of bungee jumping? To do a bungee jump you jump from a high bridge, or some other high
place, with just a rubber rope tied around your ankles. When the rope goes as far as it can, you are pulled back
towards the bridge. Then you fall down and come up again. This goes on again and again until the rope finally
stops moving and you hang in the air, upside-down. Then you are pulled back up to the bridge. If there is a river
below the bridge, you will be allowed to reach the water slowly, where a boat picks you up. The first bungee jump
took place in Queenstown, in New Zealand, on 12 November 1988. Since then, almost half a million people have
tried it and Queenstown has become famous for it. More than 90% of the people are on vacation there. Many of
the tourists have come just to do the bungee jump. It has become such a popular event that you can now bungee
jump in many countries around the world.
The reason for its popularity is that it is so very exciting. It isn't very often that people get the chance to jump off
a bridge and survive! People pay US$ 85 for the experience. Another reason is that it is quite safe if the correct
rope is used and checked regularly.

However, there have been accidents (though not in New Zealand) when the rope broke. There's not much chance
of surviving the fall if this happens, and some deaths have been reported.
