Chapter 1220 It May Cause Shock
Because of the strong stimulation or shock caused by the sudden weightlessness of the body during bungee jumping, the human body was suddenly in a state of high stress, and a large amount of adrenaline and other substances were secreted instantaneously, which would adversely affect the heart and other organs, making the heart beat faster and blood pressure increase. Therefore, people with a bad heart or high blood pressure were absolutely forbidden from bungee jumping.In addition, some people with poor physical fitness, such as joint pain, lumbar vertebral disk protrusion, or fractured bones, couldn’t partic.i.p.ate in bungee jumping either.
People with eye diseases, such as glaucoma and deep myopia, shouldn’t do bungee jumping either, because it would increase the intraocular pressure and could seriously cause retinal detachment when the head was down for a long time.
There were also restrictions on age. People under 15 and over 45 years of age shouldn’t partic.i.p.ate in bungee jumping.
Because the nervous system of minors who were under 15 years old, hadn’t yet fully matured, and the sudden shock might affect their normal growth and development in the future. As for the middle-aged people over 45 years old, their internal organs were already aging and they could have hidden heart disease or cerebrovascular disease. Under the effect of gravity, it was easy to induce the above diseases, resulting in accidents.
Moreover, people with poor psychological qualities should not be forced to test their will. Accidents could happen at any time. Therefore, people had to fill out a chart about their physical condition, weight, blood pressure, etc. when they bought tickets.
After that, bungee jumpers had to measure their blood pressure before they did anything further.
…
Cao Wenxin and her friends finished filling in the chart and walked inside to prepare.
The bungee jumping platform was 56 meters high with the world’s highest hydraulic sightseeing elevator aside which was 39 meters tall. From the elevator, people could watch others bungee jumping.
There were only three people standing in front of Cao Wenxin, and they were soon about to jump.
The whole process from the jump to the end of the bounce was only about two to three minutes, so they wouldn’t wait for long.
Halfway through the elevator, they saw a boy jumping. His cry was loud and scary, which made Cao Wenxin and Jiang Zezheng feel even more nervous.
“Are you nervous?” Cao Wenxin turned to ask Gao Yi and Qiao Ya.
“Not at all,” they said. Instead, they were looking forward to it.
Cao Wenxin shut her mouth at once and remained silent. In fact, she didn’t know that Gao Yi and Qiao Ya used to be professional killers and they lived with danger. Although bungee jumping looked very scary, it was safe. In addition, they had strong hearts.
Gao Chengyun was full of antic.i.p.ation too, but he was slightly nervous.
When they finally reached the launching pad, the second person in front of them was about to jump, so they sat behind them to wait for their turns.
The lounge near the launching pad wasn’t large, and it could accommodate 10 people at the most.
“No, no, no, I’m terrified now. I’m not going to jump from here…” The girl who was about to jump was around 20, but she was too scared to move a step forward.
“Fulin, you can’t step back at this moment. If you do, you’ll lose the game you have with Jiang Ze. Jiang Ze already jumped, and now it’s your turn.” Another girl about 20 secretly pushed the girl forward.
Gu Ning somehow sensed that something must be wrong. She gave the girl a glance, and indeed found something strange.
“No, I’m too scared, and I have acrophobia,” Zhao Fulin said and almost cried.
The second Gu Ning’s sight fell on Zhao Fulin, a picture emerged in her sight, and she saw that Zhao Fulin went into shock after jumping from the launching pad.
“Hey, wait a second!” Gu Ning abruptly stood up, trying to stop Zhao Fulin.
Cao Wenxin and other people were surprised and turned to look at Gu Ning.
A staff member and the two girls standing at the edge of the launching pad also turned around. The girl who persuaded Zhao Fulin to jump was annoyed when she saw Gu Ning.
“Since she’s reluctant to jump, you shouldn’t force her to do it,” Gu Ning said. Since she already knew that the girl would be in danger, she thought that she should stand out and save a life.
“Who are you? It’s none of your business,” the girl snapped at Gu Ning and she looked very unkind.
“She said she’s scared. What if anything terrible happens to her if she jumps? Who can take responsibility?” Gu Ning walked up to the girl. She now realized that this girl aimed to push Zhao Fulin.
“It’s not a big deal. People who come here all say that they are sacred, but it’s fine once they jump. Actually, it’s safe even if I push her down right now,” the staff member said, and suddenly pushed Zhao Fulin, which shocked Gu Ning.
“Hey, stop!” Gu Ning ran ahead, but Zhao Fulin was already pushed down.
Zhao Fulin screamed at once, and Gu Ning was furious. However, it wasn’t the time to argue with them right now, so Gu Ning told Cao Wenxin to wait here and she needed to help Zhao Fulin.
She got in the elevator and went down without delay. Luckily, it didn’t take a long time for her to get to the ground.
Gao Yi and Qiao Ya understood that the girl was in danger after seeing Gu Ning’s reaction.
Cao Wenxin and the others, however, were confused.
