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.
About 150 people are injured severely enough to receive medical treatment at a hospital. About 1 person out every 500,000 dies in a bungee jump.
About 18 people die every year due to bungee jumping related accidents.
