Land Diving Since bungee jump has become so known and it has been practiced by many people, many do not know its origin. The original bungee jump came from an island so far called The Republic of Vanuatu, where is located in Oceania, very close to Australia. Vanuatu was a colony from France until the 1980s. The elders say who had executed the first jump was a woman, who was very upset with her husband so that she managed her escape, and she ran away into the jungle wishing never see him again. When the husband found out that his wife's had gone out, he followed she. So, trying to run off she climbed a big tree and so he did. When he was almost there, she tied lianas to her ankles and jumped. He thought that he could survive, since she survived, and then he jumped, but he did not tie lianas to his ankles, of course, he died. So he was tricked by his wife. After that, all men have been jumping to nevermore be tricked again. In Vanuatu Island, all man including children needs to execute that custom to be considered a man. Even though they started it in a tree, nowadays they have constructed a kind of town with some levels. in all over these years they had a few of deaths related to that procedure.
