In the 1950s David Attenborough and a BBC film crew brought back footage of the "land divers" of Pentecost Island in Vanuatu, young men who jumped from tall wooden platforms with vines tied to their ankles as a test of courage. A similar practice, only with a much slower pace for falling, has been practiced as the Danza de los Voladores de Papantla or the 'Papantla flyers' of central Mexico, a tradition dating back to the days of the Aztecs.
The first modern bungee jumps were made on 1 April 1979 from the 250-foot Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, by David Kirke, Chris Baker, Simon Keeling, Ed Hulton and Alan Weston of the Dangerous Sports Club. The jumpers were arrested shortly after, but continued with jumps in the US from the Golden Gate and Royal Gorge bridges, (this last jump sponsored by and televised on the American program That's Incredible) spreading the concept worldwide. By 1982 they were jumping from mobile cranes and hot air balloons, and putting on commercial displays.
Commercial bungee jumping began with the New Zealander, A J Hackett, who made his first jump from Auckland's Greenhithe Bridge in 1986.[3] During the following years Hackett performed a number of jumps from bridges and other structures (including the Eiffel Tower), building public interest in the sport, and opening the world's first permanent commercial bungee site; the Kawarau Bridge Bungy at Queenstown in the South Island of New Zealand.[4] Hackett remains one of the largest commercial operators, with concerns in several countries.ENGLISH AND DAMN PROUD OF IT

Back over the top it is old bean....once more into the breach....into the valley and all that...stiff upper lip ...cry havok and let slip the dogs of war...come then let us embrace in war...have at you....ENGLISH AND DAMN PROUD OF IT

You know what??? I'll stand with you, friend. And any true American, given the odds, would, as well. Heck, we live for this "underdog" crap.I fear these two threads are a no win situation for me here as I have little support and I think the few Brits on the books here are all asleep...even Dave's against me and He's an aussie.....Thanks to those that have supported me in this arguement...but as England has so many times in the past...I shall fight on regaurdless of the odds...

So the argument has come full-circle? We've been painted into a corner. Who's with us?Comment
