据说,蹦极发源于南太平洋瓦努阿图岛的BUNLAP部落。时针倒转到1500年前,生活在部落的一位土著妇女为逃避丈夫的虐待,爬上了高大的可可树,用一种当地特殊的具有弹性的蔓藤绑牢脚踝,从树上飞跃而下。她那暴虐的夫君则失足摔下,命丧黄泉。该部落为纪念这位勇敢的妇女,将缚藤从高处跳下发展成为一种诡秘的宗教仪式。他们依山建起一座座由树桩和蔓藤捆扎而成的约20-30米的高塔,然后年青的男子从上面俯冲而下,象征他们的成熟,或向他们信奉的图腾祈祷甘薯的丰收。70年代初,美国《国家地理学杂志》率先对BUNLAP部落的这项宗教仪式做过连续报道。1979年4月1日,英国牛津大学的冒险俱乐部成员受报道的影响,从当地高为245英尺的克里夫顿桥上利用一根弹性绳索飞身跃下。可以说他们拉开了现代蹦极的帷幕。
Bungee jumping is said to originate from the BUNLAP tribes in Vanuatu, South Pacific. Hour turned to 1500 years ago, an indigenous woman living in the tribe to escape the abuse of her husband, climbed up the tall cacao tree, tied with a local special elastic vine ankle, leap from the tree down . Her tyrannical husband fell into disgrace and lost his life. To honor the brave woman, the tribe jumped the vault from a height into a mysterious religious ceremony. They built a tower of about 20-30 meters tied by tree stumps and arabesques, and young men dived down from above to symbolize their maturity or pray for the sweet potato harvest to the totem they profess . In the early 1970s, the United States, “National Geographic magazine” took the lead in the continuous coverage of this religious ceremony BUNLAP tribes. On April 1, 1979, members of the Adventure Club at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom were reported to have flipped through an elastic cord from Clifton Bridge, a 245-foot-tall local bridge. It can be said that they opened the curtain of modern bungee jumping.
