Would "bungee cords firmly attached to body, cutie of the interesting sex looking on anxiously" count as reason or as misguided social signaling?
You missed the rather important "cliff has substantial overhang".
Depends on the utility you get from bungee jumping and the probability of the cords breaking.
Also, on your relative social position to the cutie, your general charm and good looks, etc .. - in other words, your perceived odds of making it with her if you don't jump off the cliff.
