Diving off a high tower with an elastic rope tied to the ankles for a quick adrenaline rush is bungee jumping. The first bungee jumps were carried out thousands of years ago on the island of Pentecost, one of Vanuatu's many islands. In the times when legends were made, a man named Tamalie frequintly and viciously beat his wife. One day she ran away in fear and hid in the top of a tree. Tamalie climbed after her despite threats she would jump. When he reached the top, she threw herself off and he plunged after her. However, she had cleverly tied vines to her feet that broke her fall while her husband crashed to his death on the ground.
