Emmie 0 #1 February 4, 2002 I was watching this show on the discovery channel about thrill seeking people. They had tons of clips of skydivers. At the end they showed 2 guys doing sky-bungee. They said regular skydiving just got boring, so they came up with this. They get attached to a bungee chord, jump out while holding on to it, then one guy opens the canopy while the other one's still in freefall. When the canopy inflates it creates the whole bungee jump effect. The guys in the clip got hurt when they tried it in terminal velocity, I think one of them broke his back, the oher injured his head.Has anyone else heared of this?

Warning: the following discussion centers on the conservation of energy - if physics makes your brain hurt, do NOT read further! On this particular attempt, after the top man opened, the bungee had to absorb all the energy of the bottom man @ terminal velocity. A full-grown man at 120 mph has a lot of kinetic energy, and the bungee reached its breaking point before all of that kinetic energy had been absorbed. When the bungee snapped, it broke close to the top man, so he didn't get hit too hard. But the bottom man was smacked by most of the cord, and it hit him with almost all of that energy that it had been soaking up. It's as if he had been falling really slowly, then been directly hit by another jumper at terminal. That's what knocked him out and broke him. If the bungee had been stronger, or if the bottom jumper had less mass or a slower terminal velocity, it should have worked fine.PTigerI'm stepping through the doorAnd I'm floating in a most peculiar way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites TheMarshMan1 0 #13 February 5, 2002 Ya know....if they "perfected" that....it sounds like it might be fun!
