bungee jumping after a dive!!!!

[aboalreem]

Is it ok to bungee jumping after doing 2 days of diving?

 

[shark_tamer]

No it's not ....

You should be diving instead of jumping ... :shakehead :shakehead



Seriously,

If you don't do it at higher altitude, it's OK !!!

 

[sciguyman]

It would depend how high the bungie jumping location was in relation to the altitude of your dive site.

 

[Cacia]

Nope.

I would say no doubt about it, even at sea level.

Am I wrong?

The physics of the G force could disrupt the gas solution/ equilibrium no?

You mean immediately following the dive? Nope, nope, nope. Unless a scientist tells me I am wrong, wrong, wrong.

G force would effect pressure or diffusion gradients, would it not?

Just make sure you are tethered securely or you may suffer compression sickness!

 

[Cacia]

he he.

Come on, freediver, that is funny. But you wouldn't freedive after scuba diving, would you? I try and avoid even going for the bouy at 30 ft.

where's lamont?

No.

You're exposed to far higher g forces than that simply braking in a car. Its a short force acting for a very short time and only once. Wont make the slightest bit of difference.

Cant see any possible contradiction with diving unless you go to very high altitude to do the jump. Or you use high amounts of exercise immediately after the dive to get to the jump site.

You wouldnt get me doing it though purely as im terrified of heights but theres no real physical reason i can think of stopping it.

 

[Cacia]

well, you bounce more than once.

okay...you are probably right. the car example, is that true about greater g forces? because if you have certain medical conditions, they tell you not to bungee, like pilots can black out....

I was thinking about how it is bad to hold a line while offgassing in surging seas....and rock your body up and down.

NO!!!! you will DIE!!!

everybody knows that the faster you go, the slower time passes ... it's a proven fact that in a spaceship flying near the speed of light, time passes much slower than in a spaceship NOT flying near the speed of light ...

thus, by traveling fast downward (at terminal velocity, i should guess) you'll be traveling much slower in the space-time continuum... thus slowing down the offgassing process,
thus increasing your chances of DCS!!

oh the humanity of it

where's lamont?

here.

only way i can see it being bad is if something mechanical pops open your PFO and you shunt bubbles, falls under the same umbrella as any strenuous excersize post-diving.
