Bungee Jumping
Bungee Jumping is a simple yet thrilling recreational activity that involves head-first jumping from a tall structure with an elastic cord. Bungee jump as we know it was first practiced in 1979 but its different forms used to be a tribal coming-of-age ritual in many cultures. Now, bungee jumping is one of the most popular and available extreme sports in the world.
Action sports, adventure sports or extreme sports are activities perceived as involving a high degree of risk. These activities often involve speed, height, a high level of physical exertion and highly specialized gear.
