What is bungee jumping?
Bungee jumping is an adventure sport in which the participant jumps from a significant height while attached to a rubber cord on both feet. The jump is a type of free fall that occurs headfirst in nature. After attaining the maximum stretch, the rubber cord rebounds and goes a little up.
The roots of bungee jumping are found in land diving, which used to be practiced on Pentecost Island, Vanuatu. In land diving, divers used to jump off from a significant height with their feet attached to a vine. The length of the vine used to be calculated with such precision that the jumper’s hair used to touch the ground. The precision in the calculation kept the jumpers safe. Though this activity started as a traditional way of showing valour in the community, it sowed the seeds of bungee jumping.
Bungee jumping, the modern form of land diving, is an extremely safe adventure sport as it is executed in an absolutely safe environment. The equipment safety harnesses, bungee jumper pad, bungee cord, bungee jumper retrieval kit, helmet, etc. ensure the safety of the jumper. In unwarranted situations, if the jumper gets incapacitated, the retrieval kit can bring him or her back to the platform safely.
