Tourist Survives 365-Foot Plunge into River After Bungee Cord Snaps
Published January 09, 2012

| Associated Press

CANBERRA, Australia – An Australian tourist bungee jumping in Africa plunged 365 feet into a river when her cord snapped, but she managed to swim to safety with a broken collarbone and her legs tied together.

Erin Langworthy told Nine Network television news Sunday that she blacked out briefly when she hit the Zambesi River on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe on Dec. 31.

"I felt like I'd been slapped all over," the 22-year-old from Perth said.

Video taken of the jump shows the cord snapping and Langworthy smacking into the river before the current pulled her into rapids.

Wonder if she was given a refund of her money? Ouch

That woman was lucky. Crocodiles are very aggressive (especially the biggest ones) and will eat anything they can catch
