Doesnt look real to me, the cord seems too long as it is as he is more or less in the water before it is even taught.

It doesn't look like it snapped, more unravelled where it was attached to him, not sure.

The pictures on the guardian site confirm this, he's came out of the harness, the cord didn't snap.

It says on the news story that it slipped off near his feet, I worded it wrong.

thing is... If you do a AJ hackett bungee, you know it's safe... they've never ever had a problem / injury at any of their sites.

It's these shonky ones I'd be worried about, such as ones out of cranes at theme parks / car parks... or in dodgy countries such as Thailand etc where people couldn't give a f*ck about safety.

I definately recommend doing bungee's though, awesome! I loved the ones i did in new zealand... all AJ Hackett though.

Interesting fact, AJ Hackett only use a bungee cord for like 10,000 jumps and then replace it ...

... they sell the used cords to other shonky bungee services
