WoW...that is a bunch of kraziness. The part that got me tho was what u said in the title about not weeping when someone messes themself up. And the part about some tourists wanted to pay large amounts of money to take part in this tradition. They must've been looney, or tiipsy, same thing i guess, lol.
The first time I saw footage of this tribal custom, the over-dub said that it was originally a woman, perhaps with her lover, running away from an arranged marriage to someone else.
She tied vines to her ankles and took that leap of faith to escape - and they let her go. Her courage and desperation made it clear that she did NOT want the wedding (well, duh, what part of no...).
So then of course the men said this would make a great test of courage for us manly fellows....
