Artificial adventure. The activity occurs as a tourist attraction in many natural locations. And is popular in New Zealand. It is popular in Europe. Too, and there is a European Bungee Sports Association. The activity itself, whilst being exhilarating. is generally the ingredient that seems less natural, in that people throw themselves head first off a high point whilst attached to a strong elastic rope that should engage and halt the fall not too far from the ground. However, this adventurous activity also uses artificial structures to leap from, although it is a variant of a ritual carried out long ago by Polynesian Islanders. Base jumping from very high objects- ‘base’ being an acronym for Bridge, Antenna, Span and Earth. These are the objects that these adventure seekers launch themselves off, and hence it is still a largely an illegal operation. It is undertaken by experienced skydivers who tend to perform at least 250 jumps before moving to try base jumping.
