skydiving?



Hi;

A few years ago I saw a talk where the speakers had gone bungi
jumping off a bridge with a CBL and 3 accelerometers strapped to
their backs. Made for an interesting talk and some great graphs. I
think I saw it published somewhere but can't find it in TPT or AJP.
Does anyone happen to have a reference to this article or know who
did it?

I've got a student who is an avid skydiver and wants to basically
make the same measurements while skydiving. I was hoping to get some
good advice from the bungi article.
