A man trying to bungee jump off a railroad trestle hit the ground and died during the weekend because the cords he used were too long. Eric Barcia, 22, had a number of bungee cords - stretchy little ropes with hooks on each end - connected with tape, police said. One end was tied to his feet, the other to the bridge. "The length of the cord that he had assembled was greater than the distance between the trestle and the ground," police spokesman Warren Carmichael said.
