God's aim still bad - Meteor hits Russia instead of Massachusetts

[Swatopluk]

And the jump is not deep enough to reach terminal velocity

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

I saw that way-way back in the 70's (or so) in National Geographic magazine, back when it was still good.

The vines they use are quite stretchy, made of some plant that had rubber-like qualities.  The tower they jump from (if I remember correctly) is a man-made construction of sticks & such, and would be roughly 3-4 stories high?  If I am remembering all this from 40 years (or so) ago--it was high, but not all that high.  The jumpers were as already pointed out, young men of the tribe experiencing a rite of adulthood.  And being primitives, nobody was overweight in the various pictures I saw.  The vines would stretch some, and rebound some.   I doubt anyone reached terminal velocity.
