rogallo:
completely off topic but I have to say if the 90 deg bracket is your anchor then you are taking your life into your own hands every time you use it.
Several years ago in the UK aomeone was killed when the anchor came free and hit them in the back of the head. A corkscrew type anchor (get them in pet shops for a dog) is much safer.
Please be careful there is a lot of energy stored in the bungee

point taken, Ralph.
btw, it takes two strong hands to extract it from the ground.
also 'anchor' sold here does not look any safer.
Alan_Perse:
I think this is the kind of anchor that Ralph is taking about. It's the one I use with my bungee. I think i got it in the pet section in Woodies.
Here is a picture of my bungee

If you're going to play with bungees. Visit a pet shop and buy a screw in dog stake.
Guy was killed in Holland about 15 years ago when his stake pulled out and got him in the head!
Couple of quid is WELL worth it!
Peter:
I have a screw-in stake on my bungee system which I will have with me.
