A 22-year-old Reston man was found dead yesterday after he
tried to use accessory
straps (the stretchy little ropes with
hooks on each end) to bungee jump off a 70-foot railroad
trestle, police said.
Fairfax County (Virginia) police said Eric A. Barcia, a
fast-food worker, taped a bunch of these straps together,
wrapped an end around one foot, anchored the other end to the
trestle at Lake Accotink Park, jumped ... and hit the pavement.
Warren Carmichael, A police spokesman, said investigators
think Barcia was alone because his car was found nearby. "The
length of the cord that he had assembled was greater than the
distance between the trestle and the ground," Carmichael said.
Police say the apparent cause of death was "major trauma." An
autopsy is scheduled for later in the week.
