a young french fellow recalled his first bungee experience and said, when i fastened the cord and walked to the platform, i was extremely nervous. when i looked down, i was nervous even more.if the cord had broken, i would be knocked to bake meat. however, i knew my worries were unwanted. i was afraid if i retreated others might say something about me. i had to harden my heart and impose my head downward. i only felt wind wiring at my ears. my body rapidly descended. i thought that after only seven or eight seconds i was rebounded to upper air by the cord. in fact it was 30 seconds. maybe because of my nervousness, i only felt seven or eight seconds. when rebounding to the high altitude, i felt a sudden sense of relief. i did not feel nervous very much, but very comfortable.
