There are 2 main types of bungee jumping.
- Jumping from a great height (e.g. a bridge over a gorge or a tower) while connected to a large elastic cord.
- Recreation or fitness bungee jumping indoors or outdoors.
This is about the latter primarily for kids.
There are 2 main components
- A harness you wear
- 2 or 4 elastic cords
You can also add a trampoline.

The stitching from the belt harness to the bungee tore away after about 15-20min of use.
