Activity, bungee jumping

This code identifies an injury or adverse effect that occurred while an individual was engaged in bungee jumping. It specifies the recreational activity as the external cause of the patient's condition, rather than the nature of the injury itself.

Apply this code as a secondary diagnosis when documenting an injury, fracture, sprain, or other adverse health event directly attributable to participation in bungee jumping. It should be used in conjunction with a primary code describing the specific injury sustained.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis describing the actual injury or condition.
• Consider additional external cause codes if other factors contributed to the incident (e.g., place of occurrence, activity status).
• Do not use this code if the injury was not directly related to the bungee jumping activity itself (e.g., slipping on the way to the jump site).
