What leaves most people breathless  during a bungee venture are the rebounds that occur due to the stretching  and snapping of the cord. Bungee jumping was first practiced as a rite  of passage for the youths of <strong>Pentecost Island in Vanuatu</strong>. Since the  modern times, several records have been made and broken by bungee-jumpers  world over. The <strong>Guinness Book of World Records</strong> of the <strong>highest bungee  jump</strong> was by AJ Hackett from <strong>Macau Tower of China</strong> from an altitude of  233 meters.</p>

The superior quality  of the jumping equipments allows you to enjoy a safe thrill.</p>

<p align="justify">If the above  20 spots are not exciting enough for you, then choose the <strong>Volcano  Bungee near Pucon, Chile</strong>. Here, you are flown into an active smoking  volcano in a helicopter and you can dive for about 450 feet towards  the molten lava. Then you take a long line ride back to the airport  at around 130 kph being suspended 450 feet below the helicopter. All  this for just $9995, it includes other activities and accommodation.</p>
