In 1986 AJ Hackett saw a video of some young English thrillseekers doing some jumps in the 70's based on the manhood ritual in Pentecost Island where the young men to prove their manhood jump 35 m with vines tied to their ankles... bungy jumping was born with the addition of all the modern safety equipment

Viaduc de la Souleuvre is 3 hours from Paris in Normandy - not only great historical significance is was built by Eiffel - the Eiffel tower in Paris is where it all started. The old railway line has long ago collapsed but the 61 m tall stone columns still stand and today has an exhilarating suspension foot-bridge to connect to the jump deck.
