That's What You Get For Being A Dumbass Tourist



Turning yourself into a human yo-yo always seemed so pointmess to me. I don't know if I would attempt such a stunt over an African river where their health and safety regulation are a bit more lax.

Lucky Break of the Day: Australian tourist Erin Laung Worth plumetted over 350 feet after her bungie cord broke during a New Year’s Eve jump over the Zambesi River, on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Miraculously, she survived the fall and managed to swim to the Zimbabwe side of the river, which Sky News describes as “croc-infested.”

“It was quite scary because a couple of times the rope actually got caught on some rocks or debris,” Worth said, “I actually had to swim down and yank the bungee cord out of whatever it was caught on to make it to the surface.”

Worth was treated at a clinic in Zimbabwe before being evacuated to South Africa.
