With sky diving, really only one thing can go wrong that isn't a mistake on the part of the person jumping....Parachute doesn't work.

With Bungy jumping, you have the cord too short so you snap back and hit your head on a bridge, you can have the bungy too long and hit the ground, you can have the bungy break, etc.

With bungy jumping, there's no class, and people don't prepare their own cord so any mistakes with a cord being short, or long, etc. isn't the fault of user error.
