bungee jumping is an adrenaline seeking activity which often tests the bravery of its participants - the structure of the sport involves an elastic cord attached the legs of a jumper on one end, and the other end attached to a fixed structure. the activity can also be practiced from moving structures such as hot air balloons or helicopters - the exciting feeling of free fall, and the springy rebound, is most commonly why people participate.

the original forms of bungee can be traced back several thousand years to an island in vanuatu called pentecost - the indigenous individuals on the island practice the ritual up until today.
