At the bottom of the drop, the bungee cord snapped, and he fell the last 25 feet into shallow water.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I was just along for the ride. I had no idea what was going on,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I heard and saw the snap. I definitely felt the impact, and I was underwater. Once I checked and made certain I could still move and everything was working I felt I needed to get out of the water.</p>
<p>He was able to walk to shore, and paramedics took him to Southwest Washington Medical Center in Vancouver.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Afforde, who was not seriously injured, says he would bungee jump again. He wife feels differently. <a href="http://www.kval.com/news/local/40001747.html">Link</a> -via <a href="http://arbroath.blogspot.com/">Arbroath</a></p>
<p><strong>PS:</strong> He was on an outing with his co-workers from Boeing. Leave your puns in the comments.</p>

<p>The Macau Tower is an icon of Macau and one of the most advanced towers on the planet. At a height of 338 meters (1108 feet) high the tower doubles as an urban playground and place for people of all ages and abilities to challenge themselves for a good &#8216;ol bungee jump.</p>
<p>In this clip, this guy felt compelled to give it a try by bungee jumping off the Tower. The jump is considered to be the world’s highest commercial bungee jump.</p>
