Possibly. Bungee was first used in tribal initiation ceremonies, by jumping off a scaffold. The legs were tied with vines. Problems would have occured. Nowdays though it is very very unlikely.

well if you are bungee jumping on a warm day then your chances are low. however if it is a day that is 70 degrees or lower you will go blind almost with no doubt. This astonishing discovery has been founded by me. So remember all you crazy kats out their go jumping when its hott or pay the prices.
If you do it at a sanctioned jumping facility. With personnel that are trained. You have a better chance of being struck by lightening twice inside a rubber building. Safety rating is what you should be concerned about. The highest safety rated country in bungee is Japan, followed by Canada and I believe NZ. USA is somewhere in the top 10.
Yes, there have been fatalities associated with bungee jumping in New Zealand. The most notable incident occurred in 2002 when a jumper died after a harness malfunction.

Bungee jumping first started in the U.S. in 1986. John Kockelman opened The Palo Alto Bungee Club. Which was not only the first bungee jumping business in the U.S. , but also the first in the world. The name was changed shortly after to Bungee Adventures.
The only Bungee Jumping club in Ohio, or in the Eastern U.S. for that matter is Over the Edge Adventures-Bungee Jumping club, based in Cambridge Ohio.

Bungee jumping is considered a relatively safe extreme sport, but fatalities do occur, albeit rarely. Estimates suggest that there have been around 20 to 30 deaths worldwide since the activity became popular in the late 1980s. Most fatalities result from equipment failure, improper harness use, or accidents related to jumping from unsafe locations. While the risks can be minimized with proper safety measures, participants should always be aware of the inherent dangers.
