 Bungee was born in Pentecost Islands in the South Pacific as a manhood test and a tradition where young natives used ivies as cords and jumped from 30 meter high, specially constructed bamboo towers.
Today, high technology bungee cords have taken the place of ivies and Bungee is not a test of manhood any more. The activities that contain high dosage of adrenaline is something you can reach out in everyday life when you feel the need to make your body chemicals go crazy.
