I think roller cosater is more dangerous since you have to go up and down very quick!!
The bungee jumping I mentioned was on the same sea level, and I blieve it is around 150 feet down....!! I will back off and do another dive instead of bungee

INSANITY!!!

now you are adding the equivalent of reverse profile dives AND bounce dives into the equation!

:crafty:
 
Dan said he would bring his video camera to document the whole thing.
 
Statistically you have a better chance of being in a car wreck on your way to the bungee location then suffer any Ill effects from doing the jump. Beware of jumping into a space time warp hole that sends you into an eternal bounce dive, in which case bring a pony bottle and don't forget your underwater GPS with the location of the wormhole pre-programmed in.
 
If you think about bungee they dont suddenly stop - Its a more gradual slowdown over what i guess is 2-3 seconds (?).

Deceleration ('g' force) is a factor of this against time - the longer the time period the lower the deceleration.

Drive a car, stamp hard on the brakes. You'll feel one hell of a jolt - far more than the gradual slow down over a few seconds people get on the end of a bungee.
Theres also the fact that there are very short lived in terms of time.

The rapid change in altitude is utterly insignificant. Air is so think/less dense compared to water that even changing altitude by say 200ft in a few seconds is not likely to be even the same as ascending 3ft in 1 minute in the water so that can safely be ignored too. (So the roller coaster is fine).

Edit:- it would appear that you get "no more than 3g" on even a huge bungee jump. Any more than that would break or damage limbs.

That definately puts it less than what you'd get on some cars emergency brake or in a crash and nobody to my knowledge got bent braking in a car or crashing it.

We're talking of fairly small forces acting for a very small time period. Not going to affect off gassing at all.
 
If you're at the point where shaking you up is going to produce a significant bubble shower like a soda pop bottle, you're also already very bent...
