2. Fierljeppen
The game, locally called “Fiierljeppen”, has been extremely popular among young people in the Netherlands, because of its difficulty and the challenge of human will.
A pole is prepared from 8 to 13 meters long, equivalent to the surface of the river that the organizers “challenge” the players. The participants will sprint, jump onto the pole placed in front of the river bank, then quickly climb to the top and use their body weight to swing to the prepared sandbank on the other side. Of course, those who are slow or do not have enough strength to climb to the top will fall into the water.
