Bungee Cord Breaks During Jump [VIDEO]

The next time your friends try to talk you into bungee jumping, remember this video.

A 22-year-old Australian tourist's bungee jumping adventure turned into a near-death experience when her cord snapped and she dropped nearly 350 feet into a river below. Once she hit the water, the bungee cord was still attached to her legs, so she had to not only overcome hitting the water, but then she had to swim with her legs tied together.

The tourist told NineMSN, "It was quite scary..."

Quite scary? If I fell 350 feet from a bridge and then had to swim for my life, I would not calmly describe the situation the same way I would describe trying to checkout of a supermarket the day before Thanksgiving.  My quote to the press would surely include lots of random punctuation replacing some colorful language.

She is recovering from a fractured collar bone and what is described as "massive bruising."
