A case of cervical spine injury related to bungee jumping is presented. Surgical intervention resulted in resolution of the patient's quadriparesis. The incidence of serious injury connected with this pastime is not inconsiderable, and it is recommended that safer jumping practices be followed. Inspection of bungee equipment and certification of instructors is now voluntary but should be mandated. Jumping heights should be limited and the use of air cushions encouraged.
本文介绍了一例与蹦极相关的颈椎损伤病例。手术干预使患者的四肢瘫痪症状得到缓解。与这种娱乐活动相关的严重损伤发生率不容小觑，建议遵循更安全的跳跃做法。目前，蹦极设备检查和教练认证是自愿的，但应强制实行。应限制跳跃高度，并鼓励使用气垫。
