How does a bungee chord help people?
Well, it depends on what you mean. If you mean when they bungee jump, then it helps them not fall and it stretches to a distance there it will pull the bungee jumper up or to a certain height.
Why is it important that a bungee jumper be brought to a halt gradually?
To explain this, you will need to keep in mind a mathematical formula: Force applied on bungee jumper = mass of bungee jumper x (initial speed - final speed) / time taken for change in momentum F = m x (vi - vf) / t Let's say the bungee jumper was falling at an initial speed of vi. If he was to be halted, the final speed, vf = 0. If he was halted very suddenly, i.e. in a short time, the value of Force applied on the bungee jumper would be very large, which would be dangerous. Now if he was to be halted gradually over a longer period of time, the value of the force applied on him would be smaller, slowly decelerating him until rest.
What do one have to do to become a bungee jumper?

You can see his jump at the following link: Best%20U%20Tube%20video%20links/The%20Worlds%20Oldest%20Bungy%20Jumper%20-%20CNN%20iReport.webarchive
