Bungee Jumper Falls 180 ft After Harness Snaps in Rishikesh
A young man was bungee jumping in Rishikesh, a popular adventure spot.
When he jumped, the rope attached to his harness broke.
He fell about 180 feet and landed on a shed roof.
He got hurt badly in his chest and arm and is now in the hospital.
Officials are investigating what went wrong at the adventure park.
They have stopped all activities there for now and are checking other adventure places too.
This happened because safety rules might not have been followed correctly.
A 24-year-old man from Gurugram fell 180 feet while bungee jumping in Rishikesh.
The incident occurred because the harness rope snapped mid-air at the Thrill Factory Adventure Park.
The man suffered severe fractures to his chest and left arm and is in serious condition in the hospital.
District authorities have ordered an inquiry and suspended all activities at the park pending the investigation.
A safety audit of all adventure activity providers in the area has been initiated.
