a young french fellow recalled his first bungee experience and said , when i fastened the cord and walked to the platform , i was extremely nervous . when i looked down , i was nervous even more.if the cord had broken , i would be knocked to bake meat . however , i knew my worries were unwanted . i was afraid if i retreated others might say something about me . i had to harden my heart and impose my head downward . i only felt wind wiring at my ears . my body rapidly descended . i thought that after only seven or eight seconds i was rebounded to upper air by the cord . in fact it was 30 seconds . maybe because of my nervousness , i only felt seven or eight seconds . when rebounding to the high altitude , i felt a sudden sense of relief . i did not feel nervous very much , but very comfortable .
