Where was bungee jumping invented?
The ancient ritual, where young men jump from tall wooden platforms with vines tied to their ankles as a courage test and passage into manhood, started on the Pentecost Island in Vanuatu in the South Pacific. It was called land diving and unlike bungee jumping in modern times, the land-divers intentionally hit the ground. The vines, though, helped absorbing the force to make the impact non-lethal. Most boys were getting seriously injured, some lost their lives, but the survivors usually became leaders in the tribes.
