Wheelchair Bungee Jump Video Goes Viral: Watch Paraplegic Christine Rougoor's 150-Foot Plunge [VIDEO]
Paraplegic Christine Rougoor is not letting her condition deter her to go for her dreams after she bungeed jumped while strapped to her wheelchair in a video that has gone viral with more than 500,000 YouTube views.
Rougoor gives a thumbs-up in her wheelchair throughout the 150-drop drop in Whistler, British Columbia.
The 25-year-old Canadian suffered a motocross accident in 2008 that left her paralyzed from the waist down.
Rougoor had no regrets over the daring jump.
I would do it again in a heartbeat. The minute I got back, I begged them to push me back over! she said, according to the Daily Mail.
Christine Rougoor won a contest held by 9Lives Adventures, a company that helps those with disabilities participate in extreme sports, that led to the bungee jump.
Rougoor sent the company a video of her playing tennis in her wheelchair and shooting guns, which was good enough for her to get the opportunity to bungee jump.
