50-year-old woman bungee jumps 23 times!

50-year-old woman bungee jumps 23 times!A 50-year-old woman sets a new record by doing 23 bungee jumps in one hour. Linda Potgieter is from South Africa. She broke the record for the most bungee jumps in one hour. She accomplished the feat outdoors using a cable 20 metres or longer.

23 bungee jumps in one hour work out to one leap approximately every two minutes and fifty seconds.

Linda bungee jumped on South Africa's Bloukrans Bridge. It is South Africa's highest bridge. The bridge is situated nearly 700 feet above the Bloukrans River.

As per bungee experts, this was a physically and emotionally hard task. So it's not surprising that the previous record of 19 remained for 19 years.

When she jumped off the platform and started falling into the river, her one-hour timer started. Linda was pulled up fast, so she hurried to the platform and jumped again.

Linda's eleventh jump in 23 minutes proved that if she kept going, she'd likely smash the record.
