Video: Bungy Jump, #8 of 9; The Spectators...



Here's what other people do while the really NUTTY ones are
out on the plank... They cheer and wave, ooooh and ahhhhh,
and probably get a little nervous for their loved one / or complete stranger who is out there, on a skinny piece of wood,
about to plunge head-first into a canyon.
In this particular video, I didn't quite get it on film, but there was this dear Japanese lady out on the plank, and all of her family (or tour group?) were there watching... she seriously
was having a hard time going - she'd get out there, and then
scream and rush back in the hut, then she'd go out again, look down, scream again, and hold on tighter to the guy who was helping her... it probably took about 5 minutes to get her to jump... and when she did, she actually squatted down, to maybe step off?, and then she just fell - I really don't think she meant to. But she made it!!! And boy, could you hear her yelps!! And the dear people who were watching her... laughing and oooohing and ahhhhhing; all very thankful it wasn't them out there! :)
