You are right, it is fake. I surfed around after reading the replies and the segment is from one of the Faces of Death. I've never seen any of them but from what I came across, apparently the first had a fair number of segments that were real and the sequels had more and more faked bits. Yeah, if you stop and think about it there are all the problems that were mentioned, scraping against the wall, foot torn off by the rope if it is short enough, impact with the ground if it is a bungee cord, and on top of it all there seems to be plenty of extra slack not just 10'.

One amusing detail that I came across is that it is supposed to have happened to engineering students.

Apparently something like this did ocur about 10 years ago when a bungee jumper used a hot air balloon as a platform. The operator miscalculated the distance and turned out to be about 60 feet short. The jumper died.
