Adrenaline junkies love this extreme sport. You need a platform at a great height and an unobstructed fall to the ground or body of water below. An elastic cord of just the right length is attached to the ankles at one end and something firm at the other. No skill is needed, you just jump. It is called bungee jumping.

The first bungee jump took place on April Fool’s day in 1979, when David Kirke and Simon Keeling, members of the Oxford University Dangerous Sports Club, launched themselves off the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, England. This famous suicide site is 76 metres above the River Avon. Both students survived the jump, only to be arrested when they stopped bouncing; jumping off the Clifton Suspension Bridge is prohibited, elastic rope or no.

Bungee jumping in Andalucia has been going on for 20 years.
