A bungee jump is an extreme sport where a person jumps from a high structure while connected to a large elastic cord. The jump typically takes place from bridges, cranes, or specially designed platforms. As the jumper falls, the cord stretches and then recoils, allowing the person to bounce back up after reaching the lowest point. Safety is a crucial aspect of bungee jumping. Participants are secured with a harness and undergo a thorough safety check before the jump. Many companies offer bungee jumping experiences, ensuring that equipment meets safety standards and that trained professionals supervise the activity.
