Black and Green

Green and Red

They are too heavy to jump

11

11. A jumper weighs 55kg what combination of ropes should they jump on?

Yes

Yes but not with heavy people

Yes, but the cord should be changed to green colour

15

Redundancy

Using expensive equipment

17

18. If a Bungy cord gets wet, we should?

Continue as normal, the rubber is protected

18

19. If there is big storm, is it okay to continue jumping?

Yes, as long as there is protection for guests

Yes if it looks like it won't rain for very long

No, heavy rain causes damage to cords and lightening is a risk to staff and guests

19

20. Why do we record each jump?

A check list to ensure all safety checks are made

To record how many jumps have been made

Provide data required to ensure cord performance

All of the above

20

21. Which of the following medical conditions is OKAY to jump?

Heart Problems

Fear of heights

Back or Neck problems

Respiratory Conditions (eg Asthma)

Hypertension

Pregnancy

21

22. A 15 year old wants to jump, but they are only 35Kg what should we do?

Let them jump, if they agree to accept the risk of being 5Kg under weight

Let the jump with a member of staff (subject to availability)

22

23. What is the primary purpose of the webbing embeded in a Bungy Cord

Prevent the cord from over stretching and adding redundancy

To distinguish the colours of the ropes

Makes the cord less stretchy

Reduces the amount of rubber required in a cord

23

24. What is the main function of the capstan

Ensures the jumper cord is in the correct location

Allows correct callibration of the bungy cord

Increases friction to reduce load on rope brake

Protects the Bungy cord

24

25. Why do we use a secondary shock cord

Because it is connected to the counterweight

Improves jump safety by having a second cord for redundancy

Useful only for couple jumps

Allows us to use a smaller rope for the main cord

25

26. As a Bungy cord wears, over time

It is expected that it will stretch more than when it was new

it will continue to perform the same

it will perform better

26

27. When radios stop working between the ground and jumps deck we

Stop all jumps until the radios are fixed

Continue jumping, using hand signals to communicate

Jump Master takes control of jumper heights and checking jumping area is clear

27

28. Why do we record the jumper height above the ground?

So we understand how the ropes are performing

To give a prize to the closest to the water each day

To see which jump style is the best

To make sure jumpers are on the correct rope

28

29. Before starting the jump process we must

Ensure the customer has registered, confirming medical conditions

Ask the customer to remove anything from their pockets

Remove/Tie loose fitting shoes

All of the above

29

30. If a customer is nervous, we should?
