Best Answer

If you do it at a sanctioned jumping facility. With personnel that are trained. You have a better chance of being struck by lightening twice inside a rubber building. Safety rating is what you should be concerned about. The highest safety rated country in bungee is Japan, followed by Canada and I believe NZ. USA is somewhere in the top 10.

It has been reported that 1 out of every 500,000 bungee jumpers dies. However, statistics can be different based on different factors, and some people do the sport for many years and never get hurt.

What is banji jumping?

Did you mean Bungee Jumping?Bungy jumping (or bungee jumping) is the sport that originated from New Zealand and was created by maverick daredevil A J Hackett, and his original jump from a bridge in Greenhithe, Auckland. The sport denotes jumping from a tall structure while connected to a large rubber cord. The tall structure is usually a fixed object, such as a building, bridge, or crane; but it is also possible to jump from a movable object, such as a hot-air-balloon or a helicopter, that has the ability to hover over one spot on the ground; fixed-wing aircraft are clearly unsuitable because they only stay aloft when moving rapidly forward. The intense thrill comes as much from the free-falls as from the rebounds.[1] When the person jumps, the cord stretches to absorb the energy of the fall, then the jumper flies upwards again as the cord snaps back. The jumper oscillates up and down until all the energy is used up.From Wikipedia.
