Newton's Third and final law of motion states that: For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action

air resistance pushes against the occupant as also the occupant pushes through the air. This keeps the occupant balanced in the air as he reaches terminal velocity.

Also, the occupant is pulling the rope down while falling, but the rope also pulls the occupant up as well so that he doesn't continue to fall.

Well, it depends on what you mean. If you mean when they bungee jump, then it helps them not fall and it stretches to a distance there it will pull the bungee jumper up or to a certain height.

it's another word for elastic strap

New Zealand by AJ Hackett, Chris Allum and friends. The first commercial bungy jumping site was in Ohakune, New Zealand.

Yes

bungee

well if they didnt have bungee rope then all of their weight would hit them at the same time. Whereas if you have a bungee rope then it lets you take your own weight very slowly

go ask him on his myspace when he is on go ask him on his myspace when he is on

Yes, you have to be below a certain weight to get on it. I dont know what the weight limit is but if you are example 100 pounds you will get a thinner but longer rope than a person who is a 180 pounder which he/she will have a thicker but shorter rope.

Seriously? Well what do you think? you jump off of a tower that's 764 ft high- over concrete!, with nothing but a wrist thick bundle of rubber bands tied to your ankles to stop you from plowing into the ground like a bug into a windshield. I've made several hundred bungee jumps but never had the opportunity to jump off anything quite that high yet. But I would jump at the chance!-No pun intended! But every single jump is scary- from the first one, only 100 ft high over water-it was terryifying, to my last jump that I made-although only 250 ft high it was my-well not sure I've lost track- but my several hundredth jump and it too, was "scary"- they all are. Sure they get easier to do and less scary, but it never goes away! There is always fear- other wise why do it? that's the whole reason for doing it. But I would have to say that to jump off the tower at Macau-for your first jump would be very very "scary"- although EXTREMELY HORRIFYING would probably be a more accurate description!

An elastic cord, sometimes used for "Bungee jumping", and smaller versions are used for securing loads in truck beds.

The average cost of a Bungee office chair is around $200.00 right now. These chairs are known for their quality build and comfortableness in comparison to the competition.

That means literally jumping off a ship.

no he didnt. i work at whistler bungee and i was the one helping him. he was screaming because the cord was wrapped around his leg. I think he might have pee'd in his pants.

I decided to chicken out and not try bungee jumping with my mates.
