Question

question 1 of 5
which of the following elements make bungee jumping relatively unsafe?

a. possibility of neck, back, joint, or eye injury from the jolt.
b. difficulty in measuring accurate cord lengths for each jump.
c. inability to train for a jump.
d. lack of fitness benefit to be derived from it.

Explanation:

To determine what makes bungee jumping unsafe, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Physical injuries (neck, back, joint, eye) from the jolt directly relate to safety risks as injuries are a safety concern.
• Option B: Measuring cord length accurately is a logistical issue for setup, but not a direct safety risk during the jump itself compared to physical injury.
• Option C: The inability to train for a jump is not a core safety factor; safety is about risks during the activity, not training feasibility.
• Option D: Lack of fitness benefit is about health benefits, not safety.

So, the element related to safety (injury risk) is in Option A.

Answer:

A. Possibility of neck, back, joint, or eye injury from the jolt.
