Bungee Bangee

2012 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

It was a bright summer afternoon, and some friends were having some fun in a villa in the Buenos Aires suburbs. One of them had the bright idea of tying some elastic cords to a crane and practice some bungee jumping. It caught on, until two of them, aged 25 and 27, jumped together and smacked their heads against each other. One of them died at the scene, the other in the hospital.
