Woman survived 365 ft bungee fall !

The woman who survived the near death fall into a crocodile-infester river after a bungee cord snapped was able to comment on her life threatening adventure and even said she would try it again. Her name is Erin Langworthy, at the age of 22 she is a student from Australia. On December 31st on a trip in the Zambezi River at Victoria Falls, the worlds largest waterfall, Erin decided to bungee jump but her plans went terribly wrong. Erin leaped towards the water with her legs tied together by the bungee cord. The cord was meant to snap up, instead the cord snapped sending her underwater. "She was supposed to come right back out and she never did, so it was crazy," her friend Rebecca Johnson, who captured the falls footage from the bridge and told Good Morning America. Erin blacked out once she hit the water, so her friend had to explain everything that happened. Erin got stuck by the cord but eventually managed to swim to the side of the river. It was later she was told that the river was filled with crocodiles. Erin was put in the hospital due to a fractured collar bone and cuts and bruises along her arms and legs. Her most serious injury was damage on both lungs. Erin wasn't told that anything dangerous could happen. The bungee company are still trying to investigate how the chord managed to brake. "We are treating this incident with the upmost seriousness and our aim now is to learn what we can from this and apply that knowledge so as to ensure that there is no reoccurrence," the company said.
