The ''Vanuatu Land Divers''

[Joonsy]

any members that have done some rock climbing will be aware of the importance of ''dynamic'' rope, fall factor and impact force, these guys hurl themselves from heights up to 100' just with vines tied round their ankles:-

My nephew is a pilot for Airvanuatu…..beautiful bit of the world over there

Personally bungee jumping, of any sort, strikes me as a really hellish headache inducing activity, but each to their own

The original "bungy jumping"
As a kid we had a talk by a missionary from Papua New Guinea who described this tradition and the following xmas I received a book from an Aunt that had photo's to go with the same kind of description.
I guess I had been enthused enough to talk to her about it.
