Show Notes
On New Years Eve of 2011, 22-year old Perth girl Erin Langworthy was having the adventure trip of her lifetime in Southern Africa. Young, wild and care free, Erin was making the most of her youth and creating a trip to remember. It certainly was - but not for the reasons she'd imagined.
Towering 111m above the Zambezi River is the Victoria Falls Bridge, also home to one of the worlds most thrilling and scenic bungee jumps.

This is an incredible story of misfortune and also a lot of quick wit - one of those yarns you wouldn't read about!
