If you are Australian, buy her last Wednesday's edition of 'That's Life' magazine. A young Australian tells her story about bungee jumping in WA when the rope snapped.
If the above doesn't deter her, you can google bungee jump injuries.
The reported injuries are pretty horrible. No-one wants their child to be one of the statistics
Retinal detachment can occur when bungee jumping:
"Retinal detachment is a disorder of the eye in which the retina peels away from its underlying layer of support tissue. Initial detachment may be localized, but without rapid treatment the entire retina may detach, leading to vision loss and blindness. It is a medical emergency."
