abstract="We here present a case of pneumothorax in a 24 year-old previously healthy man who had performed an uncomplicated &quot;reversed&quot; bungee jump a few hours before. A high resolution CT scan of the thorax taken three weeks later was normal. The high energy produced during a &quot;reversed&quot; bungee jump, up to 7-8 g corresponds to the threshold value for NASA astronauts, and can cause injuries in healthy persons. In this case we believe that there is a correlation between the pneumothorax and the high energy jump. Bungee jumping is a very popular amusement, millions of jumps have been carried out since 1979, when the sport was introduced. No register and therefore no ratio of risk exists.<p /><p>Language: da</p>",
