Jump

I'm watching my seven-year-old son, strapped into some sort of safety harness attached to bungee cords, launched into the air at a distance that's easily six or seven times his height (though it must be more). It's a sort of reverse bungee jump. He does this four or five times, landing on a trampoline to be propelled back up again.

I wonder — could I have done that when I was his age? I know I certainly wouldn't want to do it now.
