      You can’t sue anybody in New Zealand it’s actually a law! So that’s why bungee jumping and all these other crazy extreme things came about. You could do things there that you can’t do in so many different countries because there’s no repercussion for the company that sponsors it. You should look it up you wouldn’t believe the things they let you get away with there for an adrenaline rush! 🤯
