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.

Galeon Yachts Info & Contact: https://bit.ly/3pjeqOf We have been fans of this brand for a while, and we finally get to bring Our very first Galeon Power Yacht Tour to the channel. We have picked GALEON 510 SKYDECK to show you because we have felt it bridged the gap for people who love the look of the Express Cruiser but also really like the idea of having a flybridge on the motor yacht (SKY). This coastal Cruiser is full of amazing features, some of which I definitely added to our NBBL, just wait and see all the innovations! She would make an awesome Liveaboard or a Weekender full of Luxury and Style. 😜 Let me know what you guys think of this one in the comments
