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.
