Bungee jumping involves jumping from a tall structure with a bungee cord attached to your body. As you fall, the cord stretches and recoils, slowing your descent and bringing you back up.
The height of a bungee jump can vary, but most commercial jumps range from 100 to 200 feet. Some extreme jumps can reach up to 1,000 feet.
The length of the bungee cord used for a jump depends on the height of the jump and the weight of the jumper. A general rule is that the cord should be about four times the height of the jump.
The bungee cord is designed to stretch and absorb the energy of the fall, preventing the jumper from hitting the ground with a lot of force. The recoil of the cord also helps to bring the jumper back up without hitting the ground again.
The height of the rebound depends on various factors such as the height of the jump, the weight of the jumper, and the elasticity of the bungee cord. On average, a bungee jumper can rebound up to 1/3 of the distance they fell from.
