In this tradition, men leap from tall wooden towers with only vines tied to their ankles, a test of courage meant to ensure a good yam harvest. It’s one of the world’s most dramatic rites of passage — and the origin of the bungee jump we know today. #culture #tribe #vanuatu #sport Video credit: /jwang815 | Unrestricted Borders
