Christi 'LynX' Rougoor became paraplegic after a motocross accident but still wanted to experience adrenaline rushes, so a group called 9Lives Adventures helped her bungee jump.
As to the question of why she was in a wheelchair for the event, a paraplegic noted in the YouTube comments that "because the legs and hips of a paraplegic will atrophy, so by the
conventional method of strapping the bungee cord to the feet would
instantly dislocate her legs after the first drop."
