%0 Journal Article %T The Effect of Bungee Cord¡¯s Parameters on the Safety of Bungee Jumpers %J - %D 2018 %R http://dx.doi.org/10.3968/10063 %X An abstract physical model is created to study the motion of a bungee jumper during a jump. With this model, the trajectory of the jumper is traced and the equations of motion are provided to describe the jumper¡¯s motion in detail. After the initial parameters of jumping are set, the jumper¡¯s trajectory is traced for different values of spring constant of the bungee cord, in order to investigate its effect on the jumper¡¯s safety. Later, Then a simulation experiment was performed with MATLAB in order to analyze the jumper¡¯s safety. The results can be used as a basis for assessing whether the spring constant of a bungee cord can guarantee the safety of jumpers under certain conditions. The study is expected to provide useful guidance on how to improve the safety of participants in this sport. %K Bungee jumping %K Bungee cord %K Spring constant %K Safety %U http://cscanada.net/index.php/mse/article/view/10063
