bungy jumping
Cord-attached free fall
Bungy jumping is the activity of leaping from a height while attached to an elastic cord, experiencing freefall before the cord arrests the descent and rebounds.
The jump typically occurs from bridges, platforms, or cranes.
Also spelled bungee jumping.
I went bungy jumping in New Zealand.
