Was replying before I read the post that mentioned "New River Bridge in WV" And I did recall something about the Bungee Jumping from it. I was about at my limits riding my sidecar outfit over it!
Learned at young age never trust a stretched bungee the hard way, yep right to the kisser. Got smacked in the coconut once just walking past a tarped flatbed at a T/A, it just let go and scared the crap out of me. "You can take an eye out with those things"
Maybe it's just me but I think that would look better with mud dripping off it and the cable from the winch pulling some "wanna-be" four wheel drive out of a mud hole!
I had a angel looking out for me, when the bungee went, it grazed my eye just enough to break my plastic contact lens in three pieces, and my eye was sore for days. But no permanent injury.
Many moons ago at CF, worked with this little feller Bobby Marotta who was like one of them little arf, arf dogs never quit bitchin'. One day he was flapping his gums at a big old Hungarian dude who really didn't like him too much, Old dude picked him up like a rag doll and sat him right on top of a freshly greased fifth wheel with his legs dangling. Don't think I had ever laughed so hard in my life. Aaahh the good old days.
