If I were a drama llama, I would be freaking out right now.
Instead, I am feeling very glad that the last time I bungeed here was 9 years ago. The cord was clearly in better shape back then!

Bungee cord snaps above crocodile-infested waters
8 January 2012 Last updated at 08:18 ET Help
A woman has plunged into crocodile-infested waters after her bungee rope snapped.
Erin Langworthy had jumped from the Victoria Falls bridge above the Zambezi River, when the cord snapped in two.
She told Australia's Channel 9 News "it went black straight away and I felt liked I had been slapped all over".
She said she had to swim with her feet tied together to the Zimbabwe side of the water, and had to free the cord when it got caught on rocks.

If you watch the video, I think she was crazy to jump. That bungee cord looked frayed and ragged before she jumped.

I would LOVE to jump out of a plane, but will NEVER bungee jump. I don't know why one is less scary to me than the other.

I feel the same way. And I definitely encourage you to try sky diving, I've done it once and it is absolutely amazing.
