Why is it important that a bungee jumper be brought to a halt gradually?
To explain this, you will need to keep in mind a mathematical formula: Force applied on bungee jumper = mass of bungee jumper x (initial speed - final speed) / time taken for change in momentum F = m x (vi - vf) / t Let's say the bungee jumper was falling at an initial speed of vi. If he was to be halted, the final speed, vf = 0. If he was halted very suddenly, i.e. in a short time, the value of Force applied on the bungee jumper would be very large, which would be dangerous. Now if he was to be halted gradually over a longer period of time, the value of the force applied on him would be smaller, slowly decelerating him until rest.
What is the cost of bungee jumping equipment?
Bungee jumping equipment would cost about one hundred dollars, depending on how intense you want to bungee jump. If you are a casual jumper, then it should cost about one hundred us dollars.
Why is weight of a bungee jumper important in calculations for the length of the bungee rope?
A little, but not so that it matters. It'd depend on whether you'll want to ignore wind resistance or not. If they were jumping in a vacuum then weight wouldn't matter at all, but if you'd have one thin guy in fluffy clothes and a heavy guy in a skin tight slick suit, then the heavy guy would fall faster. For any combination of reasonable circumstances the difference would be too small to matter. and blah blah blah
Why go head first in bungee jumping?
When bungee jumping, people go head first because the bungee cord is attached to their feet, and if they reamined in an upright position until they reached the end of the cord, it would flip them upside down with a very large amount of force. This would create a painful whiplash and greatly increase the risk of injury to the jumper, especially in to their spine.

6 Why is it a serious folly for a bungee jumper to use a steel cable rather than an elastic cord?
If you use a steel cable instead of a bungee cord to jump off a bridge, then you would hit the end of the cable at a greater impact than you would with something made of elastic which forces your back up at the end or point of impact. It is all about BOUNCING!

How do you do bungee jumping?
If you want to bungee jump safely, then I would suggest doing it at a permanent station rather than a traveling place such as at a fair or something. You will then get in line at the bungee jumping event. Then they will strap some proper safety straps on you and you will jump from a platform.
