Can A Person Who Underwent A Back Surgery Do Bungee Jumping?

I had a laminectomy on S1 S2 L1 part of my spinal cord in 2001. I am just wondering whether i can attempt a bungee jumping.
But i fear that in bungee jumping, when the rope reaches its limit it would pull me up but my torso would act towards gravity thus causing a pull on my spinal. And this would cause lots of strain on my back and can eventually trigger the ailment i had earlier to re occur.
Any thought or answer is most welcomed

    Remember the pain you were in after the surgery?
    Also, remember the possible risks of having injuries to S1-L1 as discussed by your doctors before?
    It will be worse after you do the bungee jump. Not recommended in your condition, bro.

    i definitely would not recommend this. to be totally sure check with your doctor. but it logically doesnt sound like a good idea.
