Regulation 19

the bungee device or reverse bungee device is only operated using a static platform built and designed for that purpose;

no other platform not primarily designed for the operation of the bungee device or reverse bungee device, or any moving or airborne platform, is used except with the approval of the Commissioner and in accordance with such requirements or conditions as the Commissioner may impose;

no patron is allowed to use the bungee device or reverse bungee device while holding on to any weight so as to exert greater force on the bungee cords and releasing the weight so as to rebound with greater force (commonly known as the practice of sand bagging);

in the use of a reverse bungee device, the patron is on or in a chair, cage or contraption which is attached to the bungee cord or cords, and the patron is not attached to the bungee cord or cords directly or by way of a harness only;

in the use of a bungee device where the patron is attached to the bungee cord or cords directly or by way of a harness only, the patron is wearing a jumper harness that is properly adjusted to fit the patron;

the height of the bungee device from the jump point to the surface directly below the jump point must not exceed 50 metres, excluding the height of a deployed safety device; and

there is, at all times during the operation of the bungee device, a safety device deployed in position.

the use of ankle strapping or ankle harnesses as the only point of attachment of the patron to the bungee cord or cords; or

more than one patron at a time to be attached to a single bungee cord.

appoint a qualified person to certify —

the height or depth, width and length of the safety device required for a bungee jump at every height and the area necessary for all rebound angles; and

that a patron using a bungee device does not come into contact with the safety device other than in the course of normal operation of, or normal disembarkation from, the bungee device;

ensure that the safety device covers the entire surface area necessary for all rebound angles, as certified by the qualified person in sub-paragraph (a)(i);

use only a safety device certified or rated by the manufacturer of the safety device for use for the height of the bungee jump; and

ensure that the bungee device is designed and operated such that a patron using the bungee device will not come into contact with the safety device during an incident‑free jump, other than in the course of normal operation of, or normal disembarkation from, the bungee device.

a specimen of each type of the bungee cords to be used is subjected to a cycle frequency test performed, certified or verified by an accredited organisation or an equivalent organisation acceptable to the Commissioner, in order to determine the tested number of extensions of the bungee cords;

the specimen is destroyed upon completion of the cycle frequency test in sub-paragraph (a); (c)the bungee cords are replaced no later than after one-fifth of the tested number of extensions as determined in the cycle frequency test in sub-paragraph (a) or after 200 extensions, whichever occurs first;

the bungee cords and the non‑metallic connectors are not to be used any time after the earliest of the following dates (where applicable):

a date that is 6 months after the date of manufacture of the bungee cords;

for bungee cords made up of only one material —

if the manufacturer of the material recommends a date for the expiry of such material, that recommended expiry date; or

if there is no such recommended expiry date, a date that is 6 months after the date of manufacture of the material;

for bungee cords made up of more than one material, the earliest date among the dates worked out under sub‑paragraph (ii)(A) and (B) for each of the materials; and

the bungee cords, the non‑metallic connectors, the material making up the bungee cords and the emergency equipment are stored and organised for easy and orderly access, and at a location which —

is dry, cool and sheltered;

is contaminant‑free and affords protection against contamination, physical and chemical damage and damage from ultra‑violet rays; and

is secured against unauthorised entry.
