The birth of the current Bungee craze can be traced and pinpointed to a specific incident. On April 1,
1979, the original “Dangerous Sports Club” of Oxford, England, took a spectacular leap from the Clifton
Bridge in Bristol, England, thus initiating a new sport for adventure seekers throughout the world. From the
wild antics of the tuxedo clad “Oxford Dangerous Sports Club,” to “Club E’lastique de France,” and New
Zealand’s own A.J. Hackett taking a daring dive off the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the sport of bungee jumping
has sprung into our twentieth century phenomenon.
Worldwide, millions of people have taken the Bungee challenge.
