Back in my youth as a tradie I was working at a rental house where a prominent international bungee jumping business was based. There were 2 really stoned guys making a bungee rope on the drive way. They are made from he same elastic in your under ware with X amount of strands breaking every jump. They said they are rated for 200 jumps but they push them to 300. I never did go bungee jumping. Stoned travelers making a rope on a driveway full of leaves, sticks, and dirt. Then money focused management instead of safety bugger that. Had the big name and all the accreditation. If proper protocols were followed there should be no way 3 blokes and chuck a person off the cliff.

Those elastic bands on your underwear are fairly strong though. Ever had anyone give you a wedgie? Usually the elastic band isn’t what gives first.
