Man lucky to be alive after bungee jump
Man lucky to be alive after bungee jump


Do you consider yourself a daredevil? Why or why not? Did this video change your mind about whether or not you would ever go bungee jumping? Why or why not? Do you think this man is crazy for considering sky-diving after this mishap? What's the craziest thing you would ever consider doing?

I am a daredevil at times. No, this video did not change my mind, stuff happens. I think if I had the chance to go bungee jumping I would. It's a one time thing for some people. No, you cant let one accident mess up you life of being a "daredevil". I can't say I have done anything completely crazy.

I can be a daredevil. It really depends on what the situation is. It didn't change my mind on whether or not I would ever go bungee jumping, I would just make sure I was doing with a good company that actually knew what they were doing. I don't think the man is crazy for considering sky-diving after what happened to him, he might just be wanting to face his fears again.

I do consider myself a daredevil. But I think that there are limits to what I would do. Seeing this video I do not think that I will ever go bungee jumping. Even before the video I do not think I would ever go bungee jumping. I would do a lot of dare devilish things, but I don’t think bungee jumping is one of them. In my opinion I do think that the man is crazy for considering sky-diving after his accident. There is no telling what the craziest thing I will ever do is, but I know bungee jumping is not one of them.

I'm definitely not a daredevil and this video makes me glad that I'm not. I don't usually like to take risks and do dangerous things. This video definitely makes me not want to bungee jumping. This man must be an adrenalin seeker, since he still wants to go sky-diving. I think the craziest thing I would ever do is rock climbing.

I'm not a daredevil when it comes to hieghts but speed is ok. I would never go bungee jumping because I am scared of hieghts and I don't want to risk my life on a giant rubber band. The craziest thing I would ever consider doing is driving on the highway in Germany. It has no speed limit and people get up to like 200 mile an hour in the 3rd lane.

I dont really consider myself a daredevil because I cant do things that I know will hurt or possibly kill me.I never wanted to go bungee jumping in the first place so it did not change my mind about it. I think that guy is insane for considering to go sky-diving, especially after what happened to him. The crazies thing I would ever consider doing would be to go rock climbing on a mountain.

I sometimes consider myself a daredevil, even though my friends say otherwise. Yes, it did, because bungee jumping is dangerous, like the video explained. Yes, I do think he is crazy to go skydiving after he gets out of the hospital. The craziest thing I would ever do is skydiving.

Yes; I like to do the "fun but stupid" stuff that some do. I would still consider bungee jumping because it seems exciting. And I don't consider this man to be crazy because he enjoys the fun of falling out of a plan, I also plan to skydive. I'm not sure what the craziest thing I would do is yet but I’m sure ill try some pretty crazy stuff.

I wouldn't consider myself a daredevil because I try not to do anything that will be life threatning. However, I'm not one to always play it on the safe side. This video didn't really change my mind because I never really wanted to go in the first place. Yes, I do think this man is crazy for considering sky-diving after this mishap. The craziest thing I would ever consider doing is probably sky-diving.

I do not consider my self a daredevil because I can't see my self doing anything that will hurt me or anything. No I never wanted to go sky diving at all. I am scared of heights and i would have a heart attack before I ever jump. Well you would think that he was crazy for doing it but with some people they like a challenge so it will push them to do it over and over until it kills them.

Honestly I really do consider myself a daredevil. I will do some things that I normally wouldn’t do that why I would consider myself a daredevil. Yes, I have wanted to go sky diving and bungee jumping but this video really makes me change my mind about bungee jumping. No not really because skydiving and bungee jumping is two different things and I don’t believe that one should life their life in fear. The craziest thing that I have ever considered is skydiving.

I am somewhat a daredevil. I am not afraid of anything. This video really has not made me change my mind about bungee jumping. I do not think this man is crazy for considering sky-diving because he wants to live life the way he wants to. Its hard to guess because I have already done some crazy things already.

No, because being a daredevil is very dangerous. I was never planning on going jumping in my life anyway, because I am afraid of heights. No I do not think this man is crazy, because that is the way he wants to live his life. The craziest thing I would ever consider doing is jumping off the roof of a one story house, and again I may never do that.

I consider myself a daredevil because I like to push myself into doing something crazy. It changed my mind about bungee jumping because I don't want to go to the hosptial for someone's mistake of not tieing the chord tight. I don't think he is crazy because he had fun. Since he had fun, he would want to do it again. The craziest thing I considered would have to be doing a freefall. You drop down with no chords and you fall into a net.

I don’t consider myself as a daredevil because I don’t try dangerous things. The video hasn’t changed my mind about bungee jumping because I’m not going to do it anyways. I consider it to be very dangerous because the rope can break then you can fall in water or to a mountain or anything else. It can possibly can kill you. The man is crazy for wanting to do sky-diving once he gets better. It seems to me that he doesn’t think at all. To be honest what if something bad happen the most when he’ll try to do sky-diving. I would never think about doing something crazy because I’m not that kind of person.

No. because I'm not going to do something that could determine whether i will live or die. No . because the people that put the bungee jump on this man should have made sure it was secure. Well no because if this is something he loves to do then he should do it. the craziest thing i ever would consider doing is running a marathon.

I think that I am adventurous but not necessarily a daredevil. I don't think that the company the man used was secure. If I ever decide to go bungee jumping, I will put great consideration into which company I choose. I think it'd be fun, but there is always a risk with things like this. The craziest thing that I’ve ever done was repel off a 100 ft cliff. After I did it the first time it was cake, and I did it over and over!

I don’t actually consider myself a daredevil because I don’t do outrageous things. No, the video didn’t change my mind on rather or not I should go bungee jumping. Bungee jumping is still something I want to try. I don’t think he is crazy I just think I would take a break for awhile. You can’t let something set you back no matter how big the situation is. Sky-diving is one the craziest things I would consider doing. -Alia H.

I do not consider myself a daredevil, because there are a lot of things I would not try if it involves my risking my life. I would never go bungee jumping, so this video did not change my mind on whether of not I would ever go bungee jumping. So people don’t learn the first time something happens so I don’t think the man is crazy for considering sky-diving after this mishap. The craziest thing I would ever consider doing is sky diving.

No, I'm not a daredevil. I'm scared of just about everything and I don't try to conquer my fears. I don't want to go bungee jumping it's too risky. Yes, I think he's completely stupid for wanting to sky-dive after what happened. But it shows you that it didn't affect him. I've never considered doing something stupid.

I don't consider myself a daredevil at all. I almost always do whats safest. I never really planned on going bungee jumping. Although, after this video, I really don't want to go. I don't necessarily think he's crazy, but I do think he should consider the possibilities first. I don't know if I will ever do anything too crazy... but at this point, I think the craziest thing I would ever do is RECKLESS DRIVING. :)

No, I don't consider myself a daredevil, because I don't do crazy stuff for a thrill. I would go bungee jumping because I have never done it before and this doesn't happen to a lot of the people that go do it. Yes, I think he is crazy to go sky-diving because apparently he has bad luck. The craziest thing I would ever consider doing is go parachuting.

I am not a daredevil. Some things I will that is very scary. But it depends what it is and how I am feeling. No this video did not change my mind about bungee jumping, because I have never done it, am not doing it, and will never do it... Yes he is crazy for wanting to go sky-diving after this, I mean there is so many more risk, and sky-diving you land on ground not water. So it is crazy. The crazy thing I would consider doing would probably Zip Lining high about the ground. I have done it before and it was fun. But I don't know if I would do it again!

I think I'm a daredevil because if I fail at a task, I'm willing to try again. This video did change my mind about going bungee jumping. As shown in the video, the chord could burst and the person could get hurt. I don't want to be that person. I wouldn't say that the guy is crazy for considering sky-diving after this mishap. I mean it's his life. Whatever he chooses to do shouldn't bug anyone. I would love to try sky-diving one day! I guess you could say that's the craziest thing I would ever consider doing.

I honestly don't think I am a daredevil but I do things that some peoples would consider crazy. The video didn't really change my mind on bungee jumping because I don't think I would ever do it just because it's so dangerous and at anytime something can go wrong. I do think that this guy is crazy for considering sky-diving after this just happened to him. I know I would be scared to death to ever do that especially since he just had that really bad accident. I don't really know what the craziest thing I would ever do.

No I'm definitely not a daredevil because I'm like scared of everything. Yes I will never ever go bungee jumping. I'm like scared for my life now. I think he is more than crazy for wanting to go sky diving after that accident. The craziest thing I would ever do is nothing like I'm scared of everything.

I'm not a daredevil even though I want to be. I think I'd be too scared to do anything like that but I definitely want to. It didn't really change anything for me because I still want to do it. In my opinion, if it's your time to die, you're going to die. So I say take a chance. No I don't think he's crazy. I may not do it, but he can. The craziest thing I would do is sky-dive.

I do not consider myself a daredevil because I am afraid of heights. I would never want to go bungee jumping because I do not consider jumping off of tall buildings hanging on by only a thread fun. The man is crazy in my opinion because I don’t understand why people have to jump off of ledges and cliffs to have fun. I do not know what the craziest thing I will ever do will be; I doubt it will be very crazy. Maybe later on in life I will consider doing something like that, but for now I prefer to keep my feet on the ground.-Nick Powell™♦

I'm not a daredevil at all because I'm scared. This totally changed my mind about bungee jumping because I'm like scared for my life. I think he is beyond crazy to want to go after this accident. I would never do anything crazy because I'm like so scared.

I do not consider myself a daredevil because I do not like to do dangerous things that might injure or kill me. I would NEVER go bungee jumping because I am afraid of heights. That man is seriously crazy for considering sky diving after his lung collapsed and everything else that happened to him. I am not a wild person but I am not like a safety first person either. I really do not know what the craziest thing is that I would consider doing.

I don't know if I would consider myself a daredevil or not, I try new things and I'm not scared of much but I don't know. Watching the video makes me sad and nervous to ever do it. I know that there is always a possibility something could go wrong or happen bad. I have done something like bunji jumping, but that really makes me nervous and feeling sorry for the guy. If I was this guy I don't think I would ever go anywhere near the air.

I don’t really consider myself a daredevil. I don’t like doing things where I have a higher risk of dying or getting injured. This video definitely changed my mind about bungee jumping, because even though I’m not a daredevil I have considered going bungee jumping. I don’t think this man is crazy because you can’t let one incident stop you from having fun, but I would be careful. The craziest thing I would ever consider doing was getting on stage at the county fair and singing (I told you I wasn’t a daredevil lol).

I consider myself a little bit of a daredevil but I know not to push my luck. I've seen and heard of alot of accidents involving bungee jumping and I honestly don't want to push my luck with it. I don't want bungee jumping to be the way I die. I don't think this man is crazy if that is what he wants to do then let him do it. The craziest thing i've ever consider doing and actually have done is be in a car at a demilision derby. It was scary at first but once I got through it all that happened was that my neck hurt. In the end I was glad that I had done something crazy.

I am the type of person who will try anything once, but I am not STUPID EITHER! This video did not change my mind about wanting to bungee jump, but it did make me think twice about being safe about where I do it. I think he is a lunatic for wanting to go skydiving after almost dying. Then again, it is his decision and his life, but if it were I, I would not be trying to jump off anything higher then 12 inches. The craziest thing I would consider doing, I do not know but I will know it when it happens.

I don't actually believe myself to be a daredevil, but I love to test my fears. I don't consider myself a daredevil because I am never trying to do dangerous things. This video did not change my mind about bungee jumping because I love doing new things and I don't look at what happened to others as what will happen to me, if this makes any sense. No I don't think the man is crazy for wanting to go skydiving after the mishap because it shows he has courage and doesn't let fear hold him down. The craziest thing I ever did was car jumping down a dirt road with three other people at the same time. James St. Peter

Yes I do consider myself a daredevil at times. Because I do stuff just to be different and sometimes to get attention. I would probably Bungee jump one day in my life time. No I dont think that he is crazy for considering sky-diving after this mishap because it is his decision and everything happens for a reason and that happened once and if it happens to him again and he survives and decides to bungee jump after that then so what its his decision. I have done a lot of crazy stuff in my life because its just how I am I guess. But I don't really know what is the exact craziest thing that I have ever did.-Cadeja Wilson

Yes, I am a daredevil because I love doing crazy things I don't like being boring and predictable. No, this has not changed my mind about bungee jumping. Well, I think that if that what he wants to do go for it, but maybe he should consider more into it. I think later he will change his mind. The craziest thing I have ever done is a back handspring by my self. Second craziest thing I have done is ride the Drop Zone! But later, I want to bungee jump and sky-diving.
