The Irish Art of Bungee running!

60

By mikeq107

Sorry could not get an Irish video :(

America gave us Bungee jumping, and Australia bath tub racing on a dry river bed..But those sober hearted Irish boy`s have come up with a past time that's an absolute killer!!

This is the new game in Ireland...Bungee Running!

In order to play you must be 18yrs old ( legal drinking age)

Three lucky individuals each attach a bungee cord around their waists and then attach the other end fast to a tree. They then line up at the tree at which point the master of ceremonies yells go!!! and they proceed to run to a table about ten yrds from the tree.

On the table is a pint of their favourite beverage and they have to drink it and proceed to the next table 10 more yards away. This goes on table to table until the last man standing watches the runners up go for a ride in the ambulance...best part is they are so numb when they hit tree!!! so it does not hurt too badly...just wait it will soon be an Olympic event....

I,m proud to come from that crazy country...Mike :0) Cheers!!!!
