Land diving is a ritual performed by the men of the southern part of Pentecost Island, Vanuatu. Men jump off wooden towers close to 90 feet high, with two tree vines wrapped around the ankles. Land diving is done by tying vines to each ankle. According to the Guinness World Records, the g-force experienced by those at their lowest point in the dive is the greatest experienced in the non-industrialized world by humans. The origin of land diving is described in a legend of a woman who was dissatisfied with her husband, . It is sometimes claimed that the woman was upset that her husband was too vigorous regarding his sexual wants, so she ran away into the forest. Her husband followed her, so she climbed a banyan tree.She tied lianas to her ankles and jumped and survived. Her husband jumped after her, but did not tie lianas to himself, which caused him to plummet and die. Originally, women did it in respect to the original woman who did it, but husbands were not comfortable with seeing their wives in such positions, so they took the sport for themselves, and it gradually changed from trees to specifically designed wooden towers. The men performed the original land diving so that they would not be tricked again.

REALIDAD o FICCIÓN? 😱 El otro día nos preguntabais varios que qué playa es la que más nos ha gustado hasta ahora en estos casi 2 años que llevamos de viaje con La Sonámbula!!! Pues una de ellas es esta. Te imaginas una playa cubierta de palomitas? Es un gran tesoro que guarda la isla de Canarias, en Fuerteventura!!! Se trata de coral blanco, resultado de la mezcla y la erosión de algas calcáreas con la arena blanca de la playa. Se les llama rodolitos. Has estado allí? Cuéntanos a cuál has ido que no sea lo normal y tenga algo especial!😛 . . . #sail #sailing #sailing_lasonambula #velero #catamaran #sailboat #paradise #caribe #carib #navegaravela #navegarporelmundo #travel #sailingaroundtheworld #playasnorkeling #paradiseawaits #sails #barco #barcos #navega #travesia #islas #popcorn #palomitas #palomita #palomitas🍿 #palomitasdemaiz #fuerteventura #canarias #playa
