bungee jumper
Elastic cord leaper
A bungee jumper is someone who leaps from a height—typically a bridge, crane, or platform—while attached to an elastic cord that arrests the fall and rebounds.
The term applies both to recreational thrill-seekers and professionals: The bungee jumper bounced three times before coming to rest.
