Watch: Paraplegic woman bungee jumps in wheelchair



This video was taken it Whistler, B.C., part of an outing with the Canadian organization 9Lives Adventures. The group has a system for wheelchair-bound bungee jumpers, including a special bungee that attaches to the chair and keeps in the jumper’s legs in place.

According to 9Lives Founder Karim Ladki, bungee jumping in a wheelchair is actually safer because it keeps the jumper’s body steady and prevents blood from quickly flowing to the head.

The unidentified woman in the video said she wants to try it again.

She writes on YouTube: “First and definitely not the last time going bungee jumping in Whistler, B.C. Thank you 9Lives Adventures for making this happen!”

That’s one brave lady.
