Bungee jumping

The gang decided to go bungee jumping. It was up to Ted & Ed to acquire the bungee cords. They all went to a fence with nice sturdy rails to jump from and lined up to go.
 
Emilio held on tight and jumped ... ~twang~ ... it was just a rope. He held on tight but just dangled there, no bungee-ing at all.
Next came Alphonso ... ~twang~ ... same deal. He hung there next to Emilio.
Then came Jorgé, Chico, Lola, Luigi, and Freddy. All 7 of them just hanging there side by side on their ropes. Another rope came snaking down and Gustave slowly made his way down it. He wasn't too disappointed because he can't hold on that well anyhow, but it was still a bit of a let-down.

Then Ted set up his cord on one end of the row, Ed on the other end, and they jumped at the same time. They had actual bungee cords and went boing-boing-boing all over the place -- up, down, sideways -- slamming into the others and everywhere, laughing like crazy.
Al watched from a tree branch overhead. Raoul sat on the sidelines below, just watching and shaking his head.

When the twins were done and all out of bounce, UpYours laid on his shell below them all so they could each drop down and land safely on his belly.

I doubt they'll go bungee jumping again, and if they do they sure won't let Ted and Ed manage the cords.
