Bungy Jump
Quoted in todays SMH (Australian newspaper) is the story about A J Hackett (famous pioneer of the "sport") wanting to launch himself out of a helicopter with a bungy cord that can stretch up to 1.5km.
Plans to do it in Kuala Lumper later this year.....etc.....etc....
What would the effect on the helicopter (which is presumably in a hover at about 2km) be when the bungy cord reaches its limits? Would you need massive collective imput or would you feel very little a the impact would be slow and gradual.
Anyone out there ever been at the controls of a machine while someone jumped with a bungy cord?
