Attendant:5, 4, 3, 2, 1 BUNGEE! Reporter:The Victoria Falls, long a favourite with tourists, now a mecca for bungee jumpers from across the globe. They launch themselves from the bridge spanning the magnificent gorge. At 111 metres, it39。s the highest natural bungee jump in the world.

Reporter:Briton Tim Barker is nervously contemplating his first ever jump。 the first time he39。s trusted his life to an ankle harness and an elasticated rope. Attendant 1:You gotta check one...
