When did bungee jumping begin in the world?

Around 500 AD, BUNLAP tribe of Vanuatu Islands in the South Pacific. In order to escape her husband's abuse, an indigenous woman climbed a tall cocoa tree and tied her ankle firmly with a local elastic vine. She threatened her husband to jump off the tree. Unexpectedly, the silly husband climbed the tree and jumped down. As a result, the tender vine naturally saved the woman's life, but the tyrannical husband died. Since then, it has become a local custom to tie vines to ankles and jump from heights. They tied a 20-to 30-meter-high tower with stumps and vines on the mountain. Young men swooped down from the tower, symbolizing their maturity and praying for peace and harvest of the tribe to their totem.

This form was later spread to Britain and was regarded as a royal performance, which performers had to wear.

Since then, the rudiment of bungee jumping has spread. [ 1]
