And this is why I don't do crazy shit anymore. Fox News has the story.
A British daredevil's vacation bungee jump went horribly wrong when his cord came loose and he hit the water at 80 miles an hour — but miraculously, he survived.
Rishi Baveja, 21, told "FOX & Friends" Wednesday that he didn't even know the rope around his ankles had slipped off during his videotaped 165-foot leap in Thailand until the very end.
"I didn't know anything was wrong until I hit the water," he said by phone from his home in the U.K.
Baveja was on a month-long trip in the resort town of Phuket to celebrate getting his engineering degree from Cambridge, according to the U.K.'s Daily Mail.
That holiday turned into a month-long stay in the hospital in Bangkok, where doctors treated him for collapsed lungs, a torn liver and a ruptured spleen, among other injuries.
Somehow, Baveja escaped any major head trauma in the fall. The video shows him making the sign of the cross before he jumped.
