This review is from: Bungee Jumping: For Fun and Profit (Paperback)

This was a very good book. It talks not only about the equipment and the thrill of bungee jumping, but also about the physics of bungee sports. The thing I didn't like about it though, was the lack of information about costs, and about extra safety measures, such as airbags and pools.
