nullBungeeBungeeA kind of X--gameThe bungee historyThe bungee historyBungee has quite an old origin. The idea of this way of jumping comes from the ancient ritual "Gkol" performed in the Pentecost Island in the Pacific Archipelago of Vanuatu. The legend says that in the village Bunlap a man called Tamalie had a quarrel with his wife and she ran away and climbed a Banyan tree where she wrapped her ankles with liana vines. When Tamalie came up to her, the woman jumped from the tree and so did her husband not knowing what had his wife done. So he died but the woman survived. The men of Bunlap were very impressed by this performance and they began to practise such jumps in case they got in similar situation. This practice transformed into a ritual for rich yam harvest and also for proving manhood. Modern bungee jumping as we know it today actually started on the 1st of April ( Fools' Day ) 1979 when group of people from the Oxford University Dangerous Sport Club, impressed by a film about "vine jumpers", jumped from 245-Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, England. Using nylon braided, rubber shock cord instead of vines, and dressed in their customary top hat and tails, they performed a four man simultaneous jump . the bungee equipment the bungee equipment Harness Harnesses are several types according to what they are tightened. the leg harness (most common)the body harness Cords Cords have one very important characteristic concerning the change in the length of the cord- their elongation. null Clothes There are no special clothes required for bungee jumping. After the jump There are clubs that doesn't have special equipment for taking the jumper off the cord. After the jump the man is lowered and taken manually by boat or something similar. An air bag is also used in such cases providing both safety and easily take-off for the jumper. Performances in ChinaPerformances in China澳门旅游塔 塔高338米,高度排名世界第10、亚洲第8 nullThank you !
