What are the risks of bungee jumping?

I am jumping off New Zealand’s ‘Sky Tower’ for my birthday, and though I know some precautions to take, I would still like to be as well informed as I can be on the matter. So what are some of the health risks involved with bungee jumping? I have done some googling but can only seem to find the usual (don’t jump if pregnant, blood pressure, may cause heart attack etc…) Also if you have ever jumped off anything, how was it? :)

Many thanks in advance.
