A J Hackett

Today the Summer Learning Journey challenged me to choose a scientist, technologist, or inventor who you think has changed the world. I choose A J Hackett, the inventor of bungy jumping. I don't know what made me choose him, however I have always wanted to go bungy jumping so maybe learning about the inventor won't hurt. Here is a little information about 
him . . . 

Name: 
A J Hackett

What they have do/done to change the world: 
Invent bungy jumping. Bungy has always been a life-changing experience. It began with a small group of people in Vanuatu. They fearlessly threw themselves from huge towers for centuries with only just a few vines around their feet. They called it ‘land-diving’, and legend says that it started when a mistreated wife threw herself from a tall tree, saving herself with the vines while the husband fell to his death. 

How it made an impact on others lives:
This made an impact on others lives by letting them experience a thrilling and breath taking moment. Providing an exiting event to do on holiday or add to your bucket list.
