There is one story that goes like this. Almost 1500 years ago, a tribal woman ran away from her house when her husband tried to kill her. When she realized that her husband is following her in great speed, she climbed a tree. Even there her husband followed her and a last resort, she jumped down tying only a few vines to her legs.
Many bungee jumpers believe that the people of Island of Vanatu in the Pacific Ocean jumped from a height with only bamboo vines tied to their ankles as ritual to show their masculinity. This ritual inspired the Oxford University Dangerous Sports Club to initiate a few experimental jumps in 1970s. But the credit of developing Bungee Jumping as an adventure sports goes to A.J. Hacket who saw the videos of this experiment. He tested the latex rubber cords in extreme conditions and then used them as a cord to tie his ankle in his first jump at Tinges in France.
Bungee Jumping gradually gained popularity in the mid 80's in Europe and North America. In India, Bungee Jumping was introduced in early 90's and became popular very fast.
