Supplemental context
Modern bungee jumping uses an elastic cord and became associated with spectacular recreational leaps. The 1979 Bristol jumps belong to this modern history. Future readers should distinguish that development from Vanuatu land diving, whose materials and community meanings cannot be reduced to a prototype for a commercial adventure sport.
Creator/community: Modern recreational jumpers and organizers; culturally distinct Vanuatu land-diving communities Place/era: Modern elastic-cord jumps at Bristol in 1979; separate earlier Vanuatu tradition
Context and limits
The bridge, terrace and coiled prop are invented context, not Clifton Suspension Bridge or usable equipment. No attachment, cord specification or jumping technique is provided. The scene does not show a safe or approved jumping location and must not be used as a setup guide.
