Which shows you never saw demolition man (but that's no big loss to
yourself). The bungee jump was out the cargo hatch of some helicopter, down
to the roof of a building using a body harness, and in that short moment
when your velocity down is zero cause gravity can only stretch the cord so
far, but the cord hasn't yanked you back up, he cut the cord and dropped the
few feet to the roof. So the rotors never factored in.
