(VIDEO) Russian Girl Bungee Jumps in Snow off the Roof of a Building

by the Left Coast Rebel

There aren't many details on the net on this video other than what is obvious, ie. some kids in Russia thought it would be a real hoot to bungee jump off the icy roof of a high-rise apartment building:



Questions:

• How is it that they determined that the bungee cord was PRECISELY the correct length for this drop? Ponder the possiblity that the cord was just a bit too long.
• How did they determine that the bungee cord wouldn't snap as well? Forgive me but these kids don't look like engineers or bungee-jumping experts to me.
  

This video made me think. Young people in Southern California amply fulfill the adage, "idle hands are the devils playground." I wonder if Rusky youth are the same? I would hate to see an attempt to better the stunt above.

Updated: More bungee jumping from Russia. I wish I knew what this kid was saying:



Bonus: I searched for the Russian bungee jumping video at Youtube by searching for "jumping Russian girl." This rule 5 search result popped up.

From Russia with Love:
