It’s amazing!! I have seen this documentry of 1hr. on Discovery channel. The height of the tower is so high that i cant believe they all will jump from there. But as it’s the tribes tradition, they completed it successfully. Definitely a breath taking jump.

Oh my, I think my heart would stop just watching them do these jumps. I am so very afraid of heights, I would be glad to know, as a woman, I do not have to participate.
Just a side note about the history behind this event. I find it amusing that the mens’ way to commemorate never being deceived by a woman again is to copy her by jumping in the same manner she did. Funny. Imitation, is, indeed, the sincerest form of flattery.
Great narrative detailing this ceremony. I enjoyed reading about the traveler who watched the jumps. What an event to witness.
