    Gravity causes a force on a person's mass equal to their weight as they jump during bungee jumping. The person gains gravitational potential energy as they fall which is then converted to elastic potential energy as the bungee cord stretches, reaching its maximum at the cord's full extension. Understanding Young's modulus allows calculating the stiffness of the cord to ensure it does not smash the person into the ground as the elastic potential energy returns to kinetic energy propelling them back up.
