Woman plunges 164 feet to death in tragic bungee-jumping accident

Operators signaled for her boyfriend to take the plunge. But, apparently thinking the cue was meant for her, she leaped off the bridge without an attached safety cord.

The fact that she wasn't blonde makes this confusing...

When jumping into an abyss it's best to double and triple check that everything is as should be.
This is no time to assume you've been given the okay signal when you haven't.

Or don't leap off a 164 foot fixed object to begin with. That would be my advice to anyone looking
for a thrill.

common sense:
step 1- attach bungee to bridge--THEN harness to jumper

She qualifies for a Darwin. She took herself out of the gene pool by her own error before passing down her genes.

 

[Natural Citizen]

Hm. What an avoidable tragedy. RIP, young lady.

She was a lawyer according to the link, very well educated

Probably was. She should have personally checked her equipment instead of treating the jump like an amusement park ride. You must know your limits and know how to check your equipment and then take time to check your equipment in high impact sports, or you may impact in a way you did not anticipate.

So you saying us uneducated is more intelligent?

Interesting sentence. What did you think it meant?

C'mon man.
Joe dove off the diving board when there was no water in the pool.
No injuries. Landed on his head.
He's a congressman after all these years later

Those tend to be precisely the group that's easiest to force compliance on. She made a dumb mistake and she lost her life for it. It's a tragedy and the business will be beggared if they weren't following their own policies and procedures. More so if those procedures weren't clear, to begin with.
