Bungee cord snaps, jumper lives

An Australian woman escaped with just cuts and bruises after her bungy cord snapped during a New Year’s Eve jump in Africa, sending her flying head-first into raging, crocodile-infested waters.

Erin Langworthy’s ill-fated jump from the Victoria Falls bridge – 111 metres above the Zambezi River – was caught on camera, showing the rope snapping and a large splash in the water below.

The footage showed her being washed downstream with the bungy cord still wrapped around her legs.
