Dr. Vikram Patel answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Bungee jumping: Not a good idea. At the least it can aggravate the pain. At worst it might damage the ligaments and muscles in the back. Usually a compressive injury such as landing on your feet can cause more damage, but as you already have back issues, my advise would be to avoid it.

Dr Higginbotham and another doctor agreed
