This video shows 22-year-old Australian tourist Erin Langworthy bungee jumping from the Victoria Falls Bridge, 111m over the Zambesi River. It’s just a normal tourist video… until the cord breaks and she falls into the crocodile-infested waters.
Miraculously, she survived after hurting herself quite badly and swimming out of the river rapids with her legs still tied. Fun!
Talking to Channel 9 news, the Erin said that it was quite rough:
It went black straight away and I felt like I’d been slapped all over. The water was going quite quickly and then I started to hear the roaring. It’s like being in waves, you get sucked under and then you pop up so it’s very disorienting, I didn’t know which was up or down.
Not scary enough? It gets worse:
It was quite scary because a couple of times the rope actually got caught on some rocks or debris. I actually had to swim down and yank the bungee cord out of whatever it was caught on to make it to the surface.
Fortunately, she survived the crash, the crocodiles and the rapids with just a fractured collar bone and massive bruises. [ninemsn via El Mundo]
