Bungee running: a further report.

چکیده
Further to the report from Queen Mary's NHS Trust on bungee running affecting children, we present three cases of injury in adults. Two cases of injury presented to Noble's (Isle of Man) Hospital and one to Whiston Hospital, Merseyside. In all three cases, the competitors were trying to stretch the 'bungee' to grasp a pint of beer as a prize, much enthusiasm being shown by spectators. All injuries occurred when the competitors were catapulted backwards with some force.

Bungee running--a new sport but old injuries.
Bungee running, a new sport related to bungee jumping, is fast becoming more common. This report of two cases of injury associated with it shows the need for safety precautions during the game.
متن کاملHow to Determine Stretch of a Bungee
This experiment was set up to explore the physics of a bungee jump. The goal of the experiment was to develop a method to isolated variables of a model bungee system as to gain insight the relationships between different parts of the bungee system as a whole. Specifically our experiment aimed to determine an appropriate way to determine the stiffness of a bungee cord. One of the most important ...

Catherine Shin1,2, Alexander P. Willmott1, David R. Mullineaux1 & Paul Worsfold2 1University of Lincoln, Lincoln, UK, 2English Institute of Sport, UK In water sports, where accurate biomechanical measurement in situ is difficult, ergometers are frequently used to test athletes. Many kayak ergometer designs involve a bungee to assist in returning the athlete/paddle to the correct position for th...
متن کاملSkipping vs. running as the bipedal gait of choice in hypogravity.
Hypogravity challenges bipedal locomotion in its common forms. However, as previously theoretically and empirically suggested, humans can rely on "skipping," a less common gait available as a functional analog (perhaps a vestigium) of quadrupedal gallop, to confidently move when gravity is much lower than on Earth. We set up a 17-m-tall cavaedium (skylight shaft) with a bungee rubber body-suspe...
متن کاملDetermining a model to predict the dynamic stretch of a bungee cord
We have set about the goal of developing a bungee jump system that will provide an ideal experience for a falling egg by maximizing the passenger’s free fall time, minimizing the force it experiences during deceleration, and not allowing the passenger to hit the ground. In order to develop an ideal bungee system, we must first determine the properties of our bungee cord. Under the assumption th...
