Hi , I know that this is a game.My question is; what is the origin of the game and why " bungee " ?!
Game? Well...
"Bungee cords" are elastic ropes with hooks on either end, used to secure cargo, packages, etc. They come in many sizes.
The same sort of elastic rope is tied to one's ankles, previous to one's jumping off of a high bridge or platform, in bungee jumping.
I don't know why they are called bungees. Sounds like a made-up name for sales purposes to me.
Bungee jumping is a sport but not a game.
New Zealanders claim that bungee jumping was invented in New Zealand.
