Watch the whole thing for the full effect, or skip to 20:30 for the jump itself.
(Veoh loads really fast, anyway.)
There's really something to be said for a video that can make me feel like bungee-jumping, fear of heights and all. For ten minutes I could feel so much terror for the guy who was supposed to jump, almost as though I myself stood at the edge. The fear was so clear - and somehow all of it disappeared, or at least paled into insignificance, in the last one minute. I don't know why, but something about that jump was a marvel to watch; the word freedom coming unbidden into my mind at it. To forget everything but your sense of being, even for a few seconds, sounds like a wonderful idea.
I could do it with parasailing. Could I do it with bungee jumping? Assuming my heart survives it, of course. Heh.
