As a practical means of passing over such natural obstacles as canals and brooks, pole vaulting has been used in many parts of the world, such as in the marshy provinces of Friesland in The Netherlands along the North Sea, and the great level of the fens of Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire, Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
Initially, vaulting poles were made from stiff materials such as bamboo or aluminium, until the introduction of flexible vaulting poles made from composites such as fiberglass or carbon fiber.

Pole jumping competitions were known to the ancient Greeks, as well as the Cretans and Celts, but with these exceptions there is no record of its ancient practice as a sport.
Pole vaulting is not a dangerous sport when done with the proper coaching and safety techniques.

 t-and-f: Women's PV World Record Progression
Since January 1, 2001, outdoor bests are considered to be a world record only if better than the current indoor world record.
It may be only a temporary lag in development of terminology, but as of now, I understand it to be possible to set a World Indoor Record that is inferior to a World Record set outdoors, but not a World Outdoor Record that is inferior to a World Record set indoors.
With that 2001 redefinition of "World Record," this is what I understand to be the progression of the women's vault, to date.

In major competitions such as the Olympic Games, each competitor will bring as many as 10 different poles to the competition.
As he nears the bar he throws his legs forward, and, pushing with shoulders and arms, clears it, letting the pole fall backwards.
Unlike high jump though, the athlete in the vault has the ability to select the horizontal position of the bar before each jump and can place it anywhere from -40cm to +80cm relative to the box.
