Bungee Jumping
Bungee was born in Pentecost Islands in the South Pacific as
a manhood test and a tradition where young natives used
ivies as cords and jumped from 30 meter high, specially
constructed bamboo towers.
Today, high technology bungee cords have taken the place of
ivies and Bungee is not a test of manhood any more. The
activities that contain high dosage of adrenaline is
something you can reach out in everyday life when you feel
the need to make your body chemicals go crazy. Regarding the
characteristics of the cords jumps can be done to the water,
airbags or ground. Cranes and specially constructed steel
towers are used for these jumps.
You can have a test of Bungee jumping from the Bridge of
Bhote Koshi River in Nepal.
