Bungy
jumping is an activity in which
a person jumps off from a high
place with one end of an rubber
cord attached to his/her ankles
and the other end tied to the
jumping-off point. When the
person jumps, the cord will
stretch to take up the energy
of the fall, then the jumper
will fly upwards as the cord
snaps back. The jumper oscillates
up and down until the initial
energy of the jump is dissipated.
