I was in the 82 Airborne in the mid 80's,  Yes I would and have jump from many  perfectly safe airplane, and from one that was not so safe. (That one was an unscheduled jump) but I would never consider strapping my ass to a cord used for tying down cargo in my truck, no matter how thick it is, and jumping.  Why you may ask?  Well simple.  In parachuting, you have a reserve chute that you can pull in case the crap hits the fan with the first one.  I don't see people being attached to a reserve BUNGEE........ :*))

I was told to think outside the box, how did I get in the box in the first place?
