I had the good fortune to witness a land diving ceremony (naghol) on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu, where it originated. This is still the only place in the world where the original form of land diving occurs. It is a rite of passage for young boys to land dive from the tower. They start diving by attempting a dive from one of the lower platforms. I could see that they were clearly scared, and even terrified. This shot shows an older diver attaching the lianas to the ankles of a boy.
