What a belly flop
From Britain's Daily Mail, about an event that occurred in Thailand.
My bungee nightmare: Briton hits water at 80mph after elastic cord flies looseAs he hurtled towards the water at 80mph on a bungee jump, Rishi Baveja anxiously awaited the moment when the elastic cord snapped him back aloft.
It never came.
The harness around his feet worked free and he continued accelerating until he hit the surface of a Thai lagoon.
Fortunately he managed to take the full force of the impact on his chest, escaping catastrophic head injuries.But the Cambridge graduate still suffered a ruptured spleen, torn liver, collapsed lungs and massive bruising.
