Bungee Jumping and Quick Getaway's (post 5)

I think they advocate bungee jumping because its fun and thrilling and it seems exciting and perfect.


Bungee Jumping: In the 1950's David Attenborough and a BBC film crew brought back footage of the land divers of Pentecost Island in Vanuatu. Young men who jumped from tall wooden platforms with vines tied to their ancles as a test of courage and a passage to manhood. A similar practice only with a much slower pace for falling, has been practiced as the Danza de los Voaladores de Palanta or tha Papalanta Fliers of central Mexico. This is a tradition dating back to the days of the Aztecs.
