ABSTRACT:
A new and improved bungee jumping toy includes an elevated platform and a platform support assembly, e.g. a toy crane, for supporting the elevated platform at a predetermined height above ground level. A jumper figure is capable of selectively standing on the elevated platform or of selectively jumping off the elevated platform. A cord supply assembly is retained by the cab portion of the crane. A resilient cord has a first cord portion connected to the jumper figure and has a second cord portion retained by the cord supply assembly. A first manual control assembly, which includes a manually operated first lever, is located in the cab portion of the crane and is used for controlling a length of the resilient cord payed out from the cord supply assembly to the jumper figure as the jumper figure undergoes a jump. The first lever controls a first control line connected to a brake plate assembly, such that when the first lever is actuated, the first control line pulls on the brake plate assembly and halts paying out of the resilient cord from the cord supply assembly. The first cord portion of the resilient cord is connected to feet members of the jumper figure. The jumper figure includes a retractable head assembly which has an extended or normal position and a retracted position which occurs when the head assembly smacks up against a ground surface or a bottom of a pool element.
