Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.<br/> Australian tourist Erin Langworthy leaps from a bridge 25m above the raging Zambezi River.<br/> And suddenly…<br/> As the bungee cord snaps, she plummets into the water below.<br/> Onlookers gasp as they search the river for signs of the 22-year-old.<br/> Amazingly, despite the fact that her legs were tied together with the bungee cord, she managed to pull herself to shore.<br/> (SOUNDBITE) (English) BUNGEE ACCIDENT SURVIVOR, ERIN LANGWORTHY, SAYING:<br/> "When I was first pulled out of the water, they put me on my back, and so all the water that I'd inhaled meant that I couldn't breathe. So I made them roll me onto my side, and that's when I started coughing out water and blood."<br/> Langworthy was evacuated to South Africa, where she spent a week in hospital recovering from cuts and bruises - but no serious injuries.<br/> (SOUNDBITE) (English) BUNGEE ACCIDENT SURVIVOR, ERIN LANGWORTHY, SAYING:<br/> "Yes, I think it's definitely a miracle that I survived."<br/> Meanwhile, the company that runs the bungee jump maintains its plunges are safe.<br/> Andrew Raven, Reuters
