When you see the video, the cord is frayed pretty significantly before she even jumps. I don't know why an operator would even use a cord with any frays, much less the amount of fraying that is visible from 20 feet away in a fairly low resolution video.

ya, the thing was definitely frayed as hell. It looked like it snapped where the bungee was attached to the other part of the rope higher up. I would guess that wear and tear would be highest at that point from rubbing the dynamic rope against the static rope constantly. I know nothing about bungee jumping, but I imagine its similar to what happens in rock climbing when setting a top anchor and over time the rope wears out.

She's in a 3rd world country. I'm sure they did an overhand knot and went back to work an hour later.

I wonder if there was Beaver Ass down in that river of death? African Beaver Ass is, by far, the most fearsome Beaver Ass in the world.

It looks like a well thought out plan, with the rocks and rapids and all right below the pool where the jumps are.

As well as people on the ground doing safety spotting from below in case anything goes wrong.
