bungee jumping  

Définition(s)

  • Bungee (or sometimes bungy) jumping is the first and probably the best-known of the 20th century's extreme sports—so ubiquitous that it has become a standard metaphor for risky behavior, like rocket science for intellectual challenge or sliced bread for great ideas. This high-wire game of chicken was inspired by a Polynesian rite of passage called the N'gol, practiced on Penticost Island in the Vanuatu archipelago.
