Practiced on Pentecost Island In Vanuatu, this ritual involves the boys and menfolk jumping off a very scary looking spiky wooden tower with a long vine wrapped around each ankle.

this picture is from an article in the Express, but after discovering this phenomenon and before settling on this double image, I pootled around Wikipedia and Encyclopaedia Brittanica and also learned about Cargo Cults and the Prince Philip Movement (who consider QE2's worse half a divine being..). Welcome to the wormhole of my evening...... (no more links, create your own wormhole....
