Bungee Jumping RV Resorts

The idea of bungee jumping came from the ancient ritual Gkol performed in the Pentecost Island in the Pacific Archipelago of Vanuatu. It was later transformed into a ritual for proving manhood and to provide rich yam harvest for the inhabitants.

Bungee jumping started on April 1st, 1979 (April Fools Day) with a group of Oxford University students jumped from the Clifton Suspension Bridge, which was 245 feet above the ground, in England. They were influenced by a movie about vine jumpers and used a nylon braided, rubber shock cord. The first bungee jumpers wore formal attire with long tails that day.
