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

Republicans are like that, jump before it is time.

Wonder where her red MAGA hat landed??

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

Totally agree

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

Another case of people assuming academic achievement confers wisdom and solid judgement making
on others. It does not. Many lawyers are criminals and n'er do wells.

Not saying that's your assumption.

It's sad, but not surprising. There are loads of fools falling off cliffs, being attacked by wild animals, etc, just to take a stinking selfie.

Was she a graduate of the Baltimore school system?

I didn't realize bungee jumping was something people still do?? ...

they don't. they just jump.

Was she vaccinated?
Was she wearing a mask?

Wonder where her red MAGA hat landed??

She didn't have one.
Several witnesses told news reporters she was wearing a Biden/Harris T-shirt. ...

So you saying us uneducated is more intelligent?

The school of life is a much better learning experience than any college or university can ever teach. You always are studying ways to supposedly make your life better. Unfortunately some people "NEVER LEARN".

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.

Reminds me of this guy. An up and coming actor who was making it big. Had to push the limits and he paid for it. So far there arent any plans for any more Star Trek movies.
