Bungee Snaps, Jumper Survives

Don't you love a happy ending?

It was New Year's Eve, 22 year old Erin Langworthy of Australia decided to "take the plunge" - bungee plunge - off Africa's Victoria Falls Bridge, 364 feet above the crocodile infested Zambezi River.

The cord snapped. Somehow, Erin survived. We have video:




The people who operate the bungee jump say that they have been in business for ten years with more than 50,000 jumps a year. They said that the odds of this happening are about 1 in 500,000.

Sounds about right.
