There is always some danger involved in any activity such as bungee jumping. We do recognize bungee jumping as a high risk sport, so we want to give you a few bungee facts:

• Statistically one bungee jump is about as dangerous as driving 100 miles in a car.  There have been millions of safe bungee jumps, and only a few accidents.
   
• The modern version of the sport was started on April 1, 1978 from the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, England.
   
• There are two main types of bungee jumping cords, sheathed and all-rubber. Sheathed cords have a rubber core, encased in a cotton, and/or nylon sheath.  These cords look like big versions of the bungee cords you use to strap a load to your car roof, hence the name bungee.  All-rubber cords stretch to approximately 4 times their resting length while jumping.  This results in less impact or G-forces to the jumper's body, than sheathed cords.
