Bungee

Bungee is a utility which appears in all first and second generation Worms games. When activated, it waits until a worm creeps off an edge, then anchors itself to the terrain and the tail of the falling worm, creating an elastic, Ninja Rope-like cable which saves your worm from fall damage and can even be used strategically.

Usage
Select it in the weapons panel. If you fall of a ledge during your turn, the bungee will be automatically used. Use left and right to swing the bungee back and forth, and use up and down to stretch the cable.

As with the parachute and Ninja Rope, certain weapons like dynamite and mines can be deployed while on the bungee; simply select the weapon and press Enter while hanging from the bungee.

Tactics

 * If you want to travel down to your enemy and come back, but don't want to forfeit one of your precious Ninja Ropes or parachutes, the bungee is the tool to use.
 * The elastic nature of the bungee cord can be used to slingshot worms to great heights; effectively "Bungee Jumping".
