Abstract

The world’s highest Bungee jump is recorded at Macau Tower in China. This paper investigates the g forces that would be experienced by a bungee jumper at the Macau Tower. The value calculated is 1.7g. The value obtained is compared with other accelerations to calculate the risk to the jumper. It was determined the acceleration experienced would not cause any permanent physiological effects to the jumper.
