Bungee jumping is an extreme sport that has been around for over a decade. It is popular with the younger crowd and is on many people's bucket lists. Bungee jumping is actually very safe as there are many safety measure in place. However it seems as if it is more unsafe because when something does fail, it makes national headlines. Bungee jumping is safer that roller coaster, ants, or even driving a car. As long as a reputable company is used death is highly unlikely. Sometimes there are injuries but those are comparable to any sport.

Bungee jumping is an extreme sport, and like any other high-risk activity, there is always a risk of injury or death. However, bungee jumping has become a safer activity in recent years with better equipment and safety standards. According to a study published in the Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery in 2018, there were 17 documented deaths related to bungee jumping between 1986 and 2015. This study also found that the annual fatality rate for bungee jumping was 1 in 500,000 jumps, which makes bungee jumping relatively safe compared to other extreme sports. However, it is essential to note that these statistics may not include all the unregulated and non-commercial bungee jumps that occur worldwide. Therefore, if someone is considering bungee jumping, they should make sure that the operator is certified and reputable and follows established safety protocols to minimize the risks of injury or death.
12,306 deaths... Just what is your source for this?...Not to be rude but this figure is absolutely ridiculous! I have been involved in the bungee jumping industry since 1989. And I have been aware of just about every single death that has occurred. I say just about, because I do not claim to be omnipotent in every thing bungee, NO ONE is but i am absolutely positive that that figure of 12,306 is AT LEAST overinflated by 100%. that would mean that the actual number is closer to 123. Even that number is higher than the actual number. I have not kept a log of all of the deaths but i would say the real number is closer to 50, actually somewhere between 50 and 100. For someone to say that 12,306 people have died jumping is stupid and irresponsible. Bungee jumping can be incredibly dangerous when performed by the wrong people, people who are not expertly trained, irresponsible or just plain stupid lacking any common sense. ALL of the Fatalities have been caused by human error..ALL THEM!!! There have been instances when people have died or been seriously injured where to watch the incident happen, it would appear that it was because some part of the system usually the cord had broken or failed. But this has never been the case. Upon closer inspection by someone who is an expert in bungee jumping , All of these accidents have been cause by HUMAN ERROR. Bungee jumping is an inherently dangerous activity, after all you are jumping from a lethal height attached to nothing but a large rubber band! But when done in a manner that has been proven by hundreds of thousands of safe jumps. It is a very safe activity!!! ...........ElasticAddict............www.webstarts.com/bungeejump
