| Abstract: |
An integrated bungy jumping system for jumping off a platform. Connected to the platform is a rack to which are connected elasticized bungy jumping cords and a control mechanism to adjust the height of the bungy cords to accommodate the weight of the person jumping so that the jumper can control his contact relative to the surface above which he is jumping. The system also includes an arrangement for lowering the jumper to the surface upon completion of the jump. There is also provided a counterweight to return the system to accommodate another jumper.

1. A bungy jumping apparatus adapted to be connected to multiple platform jumping areas on a high supporting structure like a bridge or cliff comprising:
- a rack system adapted to be connected to the platform jumping areas;
- a first pair of pulleys connected to said rack system;
- first inelastic cord means having one end adapted to be connected to the platform jumping areas and its other end extending over each of said pulleys;
- elastic bungy cord means connected to the other end of each of said inelastic cords and having a free end adapted to be attached to the feet of a jumper;
- a second pair of pulleys affixed to said rack system and located inwardly of said first set of pulleys;
- second inelastic cord means secured at one end to each of said bungy cords and at its other end to said first inelastic cords at a point outwardly of said first pair of pulleys for adjusting the extension of said bungy cords to compensate for the weight of the jumper; and
