According to the Daily Mail on March 21, witnesses recorded this horrific moment with a video camera: a tourist jumped from a height of 10 floors when the bungee rope suddenly broke.
In February, Mike, a tourist from Hong Kong, was diving in Pattaya, Thailand, when the rubber rope tied to him broke.
He suffered injuries to the left side of his body, chest and lungs and was taken by staff to a nearby hospital.
A Hong Kong news outlet said the event park only reimbursed the cost of Mike's bungee jump experience and the cost of emergency outpatient services.
When the loose bungee rope was pulled, he spun a few times, and then the rope broke and fell right above his head.
Photos after the incident showed him limping and being helped out by bystanders.
The staff gave Mike a mixed Chinese Thai and English document before the skydive and asked him to sign it, which he thought was an insurance policy.
After climbing onto the crane, the crew tied a rope to his feet and pushed him down from the highest point.
After the incident, he regained consciousness underwater and was able to swim to the surface, and the staff helped him leave the lake.
A photograph shows the injury to his armpit, one of the earliest parts of his body that came into contact with water.
Doctors at the hospital prescribed him painkillers but said he would be fine.
Most of his injuries were to the skin, but he also suffered a lung infection, which may have been caused by ingesting dirty water.
Mike got a refund of the (approximately) HK$500 (£52.30) he spent on the experience, and staff paid HK$1,800 (£187.86) for emergency medical expenses.
But he said in order for the park to compensate him for medical expenses when he returned to Hong Kong, it needed to give up the park's responsibility for the accident.
Mike claims he has spent more than HK$50,000 (£5,219) on medical expenses as a result of the accident.
According to the American Council for Science and Health, the death rate for bungee jumping is one in 500,000.
That makes it 50 times safer than kayaking, but those numbers only count deaths due to breakdowns, not injuries.
Between 2015 and 2018, 5 people were reported to have died from bungee jumping. This coincides with 18 deaths in a 16-year period between 1986 and 2002.
Last year, a woman fell 150 feet to her death after misunderstanding her coach.
Yecenia Morales Gómez and her boyfriend went to the Amaga bungee jumping in Colombia last July to try the extreme sport for the first time.
The local mayor told the news outlet El Tiempo: "She was stunned. The signal was for the boyfriend to jump because he was already connected to the safety device. They just put a harness on her, so she got confused and rushed over. ”
