A little history for you fellas:
Bungee Jumping today is a modernised version of an ancient rite of manhood performed in the Pentecost Islands in the South Pacific. Young men jump from specially constructed bamboo towers with vines attached to their ankles to break their fall.
Modern day Bungee Jumping now utilises special purpose harnesses and very strong elastic cords. The world's first commercial Bungee Jump was opened in central New Zealand about a decade ago.
