I've been there too Al! A bungee's life is kinda hard and they don't give too much warning before letting go. The last time I got hit, the clevis broke and left a sharp edge. That edge ripped my shirt and drew blood where it hit me in the gut.
It's worse when a bungee is being used by slopers. They don't take very good care of the things and they tend to stretch the rubber way too much! Sadly you tend to stand right "in the gun barrel" while doing it! Guess the stories about slopers are true. They aren't too smart. You know Charlie MacMurry of the SF bay area at the time, now Sacramento, held the BASH record of being smacked the most by bungee's. He was hit by everybody's bungee.
