Part 4 | How long does it take to build the Land diving tower?Show more

The tower takes locals five weeks to build. It is constructed with great care and precision, following closely monitored procedures.

In the local Sa language, "gol" means ‘body’ and the land dive. Body refers to the tower since it symbolizes the human form with head, shoulders, breasts, belly, genitals, and knees. Diving platforms represent penises and the supporting elements beneath the diving platforms of the tower symbolize vaginas.

To build the tower, freshly cut and sturdy wood is essential. But the most important part are tree vines or lianas. They have to be elastic and flexible and are used as tower ropes and jump ropes.

Each jump rope vine is selected by an elder villager for each jumper individually. Lianas are selected based on each jumper's weight, ensuring flexibility, length and strength. The ends are shredded so they can be tied around the jumper's ankle. There is one liana for each leg.
