Cord Length

You do not want a cord that is too long when bungee jumping. You want a cord that is cut much shorter than the length of your fall so that it has enough room to stretch at the end of your fall. Professional bungee jumping guides will compare the weight of a jumper with the distance of the fall to make sure that the rope used is of the correct length. A rope that is too long will send you into the surface and can be very dangerous.
