Bungee Cord Mechanics Explained

The bungee cord is stretched to its maximum length during the lowest point of the bungee jump. As the jumper falls, the elastic bungee cord lengthens and stretches, absorbing the force of their descent. When the cord can stretch no more, the jumper is rebounded back upwards as the elastic potential energy stored in the stretched cord is released.
