解析：

(1)	silly在此和前文及第四段第二句中的stupid相呼应，表示“愚蠢的”。
(2)	as引导定语从句，不用which，因as is known(to all), as everybody can see之类的定语从句已成为固定搭配，as有“正如”之意。
(3)	从下文中多个国家和人数上可以看出应用popular，表示“流行”。
(4)	dive表示“向下猛冲，俯冲”。
(5)	saved表示蹦极的人只通过一根绳子来系着他们的“安危”。含“被拯救”之意。
(6)	hitting在这里表示“撞击”。
(7)	started up表示“起源”，开创，强调“开始”。
(8)	下文谓语动词用的是现在完成时，只有since then适合作它的时间状语。
(9)	happen表示“一次次的发生”，而appear只表示首次“露面，出现”。
(10)	although引导让步状语从句，整个句子意思是“虽然在一些国家被禁止，但在美国和其他一些国家还是流行起来了”。
(11)	前后对比，前面流行，而这里表示被禁止。
(12)	at在这里相当于at the speed of，“以……的速度”。
(13)	break这里指蹦极线断开。
(14)	从上下文看，这里是表示乐观兴奋的感叹，只有great适合。
(15)	由上文的first, then，推断这里应用last，意为“最近的一次”。
(16)	从本文来看，蹦极已成为一项运动，而不是一般的活动。
(17)	damage在这里表示“伤害”，相当于hurt。
(18)	从下文but的转折来看，应填nobody。
(19)	chances在这里表示“可能性”，死亡的几率。而不能用adventure“冒险，奇遇”。
(20)	properly意为“适当”，包含的意思较全面。
