Speaker 1 (00:00):
Big one hundred, DC's classic rock and home of the
Washington Commanders. I gotta tell you they got some pretty
wild thrill seekers over in China's Big rig. What the
dumb of the day today I have. We've seen this, the
rope free bungee jump from the world's highest bridge. Thankfully
China stopped it before it could even happen. Check this out.
This bridge sits over two thousand feet up above a

(00:22):
river in China's Grand Canyon Bridge area. And what they
did was they put a net just above the river
two thousand feet down and we're like, yeah, you don't
need a rope, just jump off. You're gonna hit the
net and you're gonna bounce and you get off. It's
gonna be the greatest thing ever hm two hundred and
twenty five dollars a person to do this. The problem is,
people said, when they got up there and they look down,

(00:43):
I could barely see the net. I didn't know. They're like, oh,
just jump, you're just gonna hit it. And they're like,
how do they judge this? Because they've been dropping bags,
weighted bags off the bridge that have all been hitting
the center of the target and the giant net and
it's been fine. Well, they didn't disclose the weight to
the bag, and the bags don't flail like a free
falling human. I mean, at the end of the day,

(01:05):
I'm just going through. I'm like, man, I can think
of a lot of different acronyms for this one. Stupid
people leaping at terminal velocity. Yeah, just call it splat
or shock, panic, leap, and thud
