Tourist survives bungee jump after cord snaps
Telegraph, 24 Mar 2023
A tourist’s bungee rope snapped partway through a headfirst dive off a 10-storey-high podium in southeast Thailand.
Mike, a tourist from Hong Kong, took a leap of faith at an amusement park in southeast Thailand in January - hurtling through the air with his arms outstretched.
But milliseconds before the 39-year-old reached the bottom of his jump, the cord split and he hurtled into the water several feet below.
