South Wales Police have confirmed that the organisers of a fundraising bungee jump
in which a 22-year-old student died will not face criminal charges.
Christopher 
Thomas died after hitting the ground at the Swansea event in August 2002. The bungee
rope snapped as he was about to approach the ground on the second bounce.

Ironically Mr Thomas was raising funds for

the neurosurgery unit at Swansea’s Morriston Hospital, where he later died.
