Fondest Memory: Pentecost Island is where bungee jumping originated and still occurs today. This ancient rite of initiation is very sacred to the people of the island. Although, according to legend, it was a young woman who escaped an evil chief by challenging him to leap from a tree with her (she had a vine attached to her ankle, he did not), only men jump today.
Every spring young men freefall into space to test their testosterone level, from 100-foot high towers with only a vine tied around their ankles. Jump dates are scheduled throughout April and May when vines are most supple.
