Bungee Jumper
1997 Darwin Awards Runner-Up
Confirmed True by Darwin

(13 July 1997, Virginia) Eric A. Barcia, a 22-year-old Reston, VA resident, was found dead yesterday after he used bungee cords to jump off a 70-foot railroad trestle, police said.

The fast food worker taped a number of bungee cords together and strapped one end around his foot. Barcia had the foresight to anchor the other end to the trestle at Lake Accotink Park, and he even remembered to measure the length of the bungee cords to make sure that they were a few feet short of the 70 foot drop. He proceeded to fall headfirst from the trestle, and hit the pavement 70 feet below several seconds later.

Fairfax County police said "The stretched length of the cord that he had assembled was greater than the distance between the trestle and the ground." Perhaps the deceased fast food worker should have stuck to the line, "Do you want fries with that?"

Yep totally real, 3 people initially lifting her all failed to notice no attached chord. Something does seem off, I mean essentially launching her the way they did they would be under the trailing chord so would need to move quickly for it to not come down on them! I wonder if she had time to know this is it!?

It's completely nuts. Something seems to be missing from the story  ???

Five Workers not noticing the cord wasnt there, either they were high or it was intentional, nobody could be that stupid. (It was Brazil though)

One worker may be, but not all five.

The workers ran and hid in the jungle after but were caught by Police

Is this real or AI? The video was horrifying. Did she not know a rope wasn't tied on to her as she was lifted up and tossed? How could no one notice this?

Its real, i have another angle of the video

A little too late for anyone to want this film. This would have been great in the 90s. The people who played the video games have all grown up and moved on. We simply don't care anymore. I can't recall a single soul asking about a MK reboot.

These reboots are ridiculous. No more fresh ideas it seems.

I believe the Bloodsport reboot is in the works with Mike O' Hearn. Why stop there?! How about reboots of Enter the Dragon, Enter the Ninja, Revenge of the Ninja, Nina 3 the Domination, Pray For Death, Gremlins, Water World, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, Encino Man, My Father the Hero, The Neverending Story, and a rebooting of the rebooted Thomas Crowne Affair?

Maybe even make a reboot of Alien, Terminator or He-Man and the Masters of the Universe while at it!

LONG live The King!
