Bungee jumping first started in the U.S. in 1986. John Kockelman opened The Palo Alto Bungee Club. Which was not only the first bungee jumping business in the U.S. , but also the first in the world. The name was changed shortly after to Bungee Adventures.

Bungee jumping was invented centuries ago by the land divers of Vanuatu. They showed courage by jumping off the top of platforms and offered up their injuries to the gods for a good harvest. The exact date and person is unknown

Andre-Jacques Garnerin may have been the first back in 1797 when he successfully sky dived from a hot air balloon. Only in 1953 did sky diving become an international sport.
