An Australian tourist had a miraculous escape when her bungee cord snapped during a jump in Zimbabwe, the Daily Telegraph reported.

Erin Langworthy fell into the water on New Year's Eve after the rope snapped on her descent. As her friends looked on aghast, the 22-year-old managed to free her still bound legs and swim to safety through the crocodile-infested waters.

"I think it is definitively a miracle that I survived," Langworthy said.

The lucky survivor spent a week in hospital but was not seriously injured.

       据英国《每日电讯报》报道,一名澳大利亚游客在津巴布韦蹦极时绑绳断裂,她竟奇迹般逃离劫数。

       该女子名叫艾瑞·兰沃西,新年前夜蹦极时绳索断裂,她的朋友们吓得目瞪口呆,这名22岁的女子却成功松开被绑双腿,在充斥着鳄鱼的河水中安全游向对岸。

       兰沃西女士称:“我觉得我能活下来,绝对是个奇迹。”

       这名幸存者在医院呆了一星期,所幸并无大碍。
