Since you’re being thrown up into the air on a tether, your ascent is being forcibly halted rather than allowed to peak naturally, resulting in deceleration forces (negative Gs) as you reach the upper bounds of the bungee cord’s stretch. The bungee would also actively pull you down from the top of the arc, resulting in a faster-than-freefall descent for at least part of your trip back toward the ground.
