VICTORIA FALLS BUNGEE

Agent Release;

We wish to advise that on the 31st of December at about 17.30hours there was an incident at the Victoria Falls Bridge whereby a bungee cord broke which resulted in a tourist from Australia falling into the water from a height of approximately 20 metres. The lady was able to swim to the Zimbabwe side of the river and was then rescued by the bridge crew and a local medical response team. She sustained relatively minor injuries, mostly bruising and has no broken bones. She is comfortable and recovering well having remained in hospital overnight for observation.

The cause of the incident is being thoroughly investigated, a process we expect to take at least 24 hours. During this period the Bridge Swing, Bridge Slide and Bridge Tour shall continue operating as normal. We expect to recommence Bungee Jumping operations on the 2nd January 2012.
