Dad Bungee Jumps 200 Feet From A Bridge With Young Daughter, People Slam Him For Being Reckless

Sports may give adults an instant adrenaline rush but some sports are really dangerous for kids. In such instances, it's up to parents to ensure that they are not putting their children at risk.

A father has been severely slammed by netizens for bungee jumping with his young daughter. The man plunged 60 metres - nearly 200 feet - with his daughter who he held tightly in his arms.?

The video of his jump shows the girl tightly wrapped in her daddy's arms. The father Mohd Redha Rozlan has since claimed that it was his daughter who had expressed a wish to be part of the jump.

Responding to criticism online, Rozlan said, "Chill guys, Mecca Mikaela was the one who wanted to do the jump with me. There was no forcing."

He also added that his daughter, Mecca enjoyed the jump and wanted another go at it. But it was him who was afraid. The video was shot in Kuala Kuba Bharu in the western Malaysian state of Selangor.?
