Such a tragedy that should never have happened. I am quietly confident that the courts will see justice done. ( unlike Australia courts and judges).

Shocking mistake. They must feel terrible about this.

Another way but not the only one to do it is eating fugu fish.

Shocking mistake.

They must feel terrible about this.

Checklist wouldn't work. They would just tick all the boxes at the start of the day. Or the end of the day. Or not at all.

I am pretty sure the staff did not have their safety harnesses on properly either.

How is it, not one of those throwers, did not realise … are all of them blind? FMD! Angry

Both my kids when they were 18 and 16 did a bungee jump in NZ.
If there’s any error at least the landing is in water…just how one hits the water from a height is the only worry.

They both said the free falling was the most nerve wracking part and couldn’t wait to feel the rope pull them back.

Allegedly, those responsible went and changed their shirts. Why would they do that? To avoid accusations that the victim's DNA were on them? To put doubt in the cameraman's footage? To have the witnesses experience confusion about what they saw, after experiencing their own horror?

Maybe it was an accident. But, that won't save those responsible from a lengthy stay in prison.

They jump off the platform and usually smack into the ground head first before the bungee rope can pull them back. It is chaos. How they don't realise how stupid they are, it is unbelievable.
