In winter, the Dangerous Sports Club holds a race in the Alps, in which competitors ski down a ski-slope on unusual objects. Competitors have raced sitting on the toilet, in a boat, and sitting at a piano (while playing it!). A group of Oxford University students formed the club in 1977 to add excitement to their lives. They invented sports and events that were dangerous, and also original and funny. Their first event was a tea party on a small rock in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. One member of the club crossed the sea from England to France inside an inflatable kangaroo, and another flew a tiny plane above London while dressed as a gorilla and playing the saxophone. The Dangerous Sports Club’s greatest idea was bungee jumping. They got the idea from Pacific islanders, who dive off a high tower with a rope tied around their leg. Four members of the club did the first bungee jump in 1979.
