The people of Pentecost Island in Vanuatu are believed to have inspired modern bungee jumping through their ancient ritual called Land Diving (Naghol). In this tradition, men leap from tall wooden towers with only vines tied to their ankles, a test of courage meant to ensure a good yam harvest. It’s one of the world’s most dramatic rites of passage — and the origin of the bungee jump we know today. #culture #tribe #vanuatu #sport Video credit: /jwang815 | Unrestricted Borders
