man: So, you'll jump successfully.
- Will: Successfully. - You'll-- you'll land successfully.
- Will: Right. - You'll get off--
Or-- or not. But what--
( overlapping chatter, laughter )
You know, you say yes to things long before you actually know what they are.
You know, when I bungeed at, uh, Victoria Falls, right,
I said, "Yeah, yeah," you know?
So we go out, and I had never bungee jumped, right?
So-- but I had seen-- you know, I was like, "It's bungee jumping."
So we get out there...
Riding towards Victoria Falls.
Way too fast to be going to the end of falls.
( chuckles )
Will: About to bungee jump Victoria Falls.
I've been wanting to come to Victoria Falls since I was about 12.
( indistinct chatter )
There's trains going past on the bridge you're jumping off.
And I look at the guy...
man: Who's that jump master? What's your name, man?
- Ed. - man: Ed, okay. You look after my man.
And I was like, "Oh, no." This is my bungee squad.
This is my bungee squad right here.
He wraps towels,
23-year-old towels, like, they're old, tattered,
and he puts them around my ankle.
And then everybody started cheering.
They saw me go up, I was like...
( laughter )
And then he grabs the bungee cord,
turns it around my ankles and pulls it.
I was like, "Wait. That's it?"
( laughter )
It's towels and just a cord.
And he pulls it really tight and wraps it around.
And pulls it really tight and then attaches it to the bungee cord.
And then...
( laughter )
man: Okay, Will, this is you jumping
the mighty Zambezi River, Victoria Falls bridge.
Tilt your head up, hold your arms out.
( indistinct chatter )
Whoo-hoo!
Whoo!
( laughing )
Whoa! Whoa!
Ah!
This is gonna be a cool shot.
I've been wanting to do this for, like, 20 years.
I got high blood pressure though, so they need to get me from being upside down.
- Hey. - Hey.
Yo. What's up, baby?
You coming to get me. Now there he is. Hey, fella.
- What? You got me? - I do.
- That was fantastic. - That was fantastic.
- What's your name? - That was a good jump. My name is Fredo.
- Fredo? - Yeah.
- What's up, Fredo? - Fredo.
Yeah. Oh, man. Oh, man.
( laughter )
- "Should we try to book him?" - Clearly he's the best
- 'cause it went very well. - If it works, right?
Yeah.
- ( laughter ) - man: Hire the towel guy.
Yeah. I somehow thought it was different than that.
Like, it's towels,
rip cord, strap the cord, and...
That bungee jump was not a good idea at all.
Whoo!
- ( laughter ) - Glad it worked out.
( applause )
