This fact was discovered by the Ottawa Police who investigated the death. On the bounce back up, the lead cord tightened, causing both carabiners to open. In this case, the operator was using dual carabiners. The problem occurs when the lead cord wraps around the carabiner, tightens and through friction undoes the twisting safety mechanism that keeps the carabiner locked. Using a lead is faster than changing the cord, so more rides can be offered however, using a lead is less safe than switching bungee cords. The operator in Ottawa instead used a lead between the carabiner and the bungee cord for this purpose. Ordinarily, the bungee cord is changed to adjust the body weight of different riders. In February 2000, the firm responsible for the ride, Anderson Ventures, was fined $145,000 for this incident. In August 1998, JГ©rГґme Charron died in a reverse bungee ride accident at the Ottawa Exhibition in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada when he was hurled 40 m into the air before plummeting to his death as his harness had detached.
