(Also "
bungee cable", "
bungee cords".)
Elastic cable with a
woven fabric covering.
Most often seen in one- to three-foot
(30-100 cm) lengths with
hooks preattached to each end,
used for
fastening things to other things,
e.g. objects to
bicycle racks.
Occasionally seen in bulk
(i.e. sold along with
rope and other
cordage) and used, again, for various fastening jobs, often by
mariners.
Still more occasionally used (again, in bulk) in the curious "sport" of
bungee jumping.
