Can we dispense with the details and just put a bullet into you?

Just make sure you find a 130 ft bridge to throw him off of a claim dyslexia.

I might be spoiled being in the US. But when bunging is it common to pick a person up and throw them off the bridge

Imagine going to a third world country and attempting something dangerous like bungee jumping. I wouldn't even drink the tap water there, much less trust my life to their 'safety' standards.

Let me introduce you to Vesna Vulovic:



There are at least 4 people confirmed to have survived a fall without a functioning parachute.

Confirmed individuals who survived falls with no functioning parachute
1. Vesna Vulovic — 33,330 ft (10,160 m)
Survived the highest fall in history without a parachute after her airliner exploded in 1972.

She was trapped inside part of the fuselage, which crashed into snow in a forest.

She lived despite massive injuries.

2. Joan Murray — ~14,500 ft
Experienced skydiver whose main and reserve parachutes failed in 1999.

Survived by landing on a mound of venomous red ants, whose stings triggered an adrenaline surge that kept her heart beating.

Required 20 surgeries and 17 blood transfusions.

3. Emma Carey — ~15,000 ft
First-time skydiver whose parachute became hopelessly tangled.

Hit the ground and survived with severe spinal and pelvic injuries, later regaining partial mobility.

4. Unnamed military soldier — altitude not specified
Parachute failed during a training jump; he used free-fall techniques to slow descent and survived the impact.

Pretty cold blooded to say no one dies on your shift when you’re not on your shift.

My God, a lot of you seem to be critical of the nurse. What she said was to the victim. She was trying to encourage the victim to believe she could survive. It wasn't a damned boast.

People survive when their parachutes don't open. It is rare, but it happens.

Homocide? Was it intentional?

Impossible that just hitting "free fall" and impacting the ground to still be awake. Impossible that the head didnt crack like a melon hitting the ground. Nurse is lying.

Look, man...they may have forgotten the rope, but they didn't forget to put a helmet on her. Safety is always first

Alec Trevelyn fell 500 feet and survived just long enough to watch the antenna fall on him. She only fell 130’

Did she die? How can someone honestly survive that?

Even the recent crash. Where the express jet hit the airport fire truck. The women did not fall from a big height. But she was ejected from a crashing jet. Probably moving about 80-100 mph strapped in a chair.

The woman in this bungee story says she talked to the victim. Didn’t say she got any answers. I’d imagine (I hope) she was unconscious.
