That's a very mobile phone: Guy forgets to empty his pockets before jumping one of the world's highest bungees, and loses the lot
- Mairtin Farragher leaped from one of the world's highest bungee jumps
- On the way down his iPhone could be seen slipping out of his pocket
- The daredevil realised while still suspended and let out an expletive
This is the moment a tourist experiences the thrill of a lifetime by bungee jumping from a bridge - only to lose his phone from his pocket on the way down.
Mairtin Farragher was on a high after he plucked up the courage to leap from Bloukrans Bridge in Western Cape, South Africa - one of the highest bungee jumps in the world.
A video showed him taking deep breaths to try and compose himself while being carried towards the very edge by two safety instructors.

After settling his nerves, he is then seen throwing himself from the bridge and shouting in excitement on the way down.
Everything appears to be going well for Mairtin until his iPhone slips from his pocket and disappears.
It plummets to the ground at high speed before presumably smashing into a million pieces.
But initially Mairtin is completely unaware of this fact as he cheers for the camera and enjoys the rest of the bungee jump.
He then spots a coin from his pocket fall past his head and quickly checks to make sure that is all he has lost.

Realising his handset is gone he bemoans his bad luck. He shouts at the camera: 'Oh no, I dropped my phone,' before letting out an expletive.
Since the incident, Mairtin posted his footage to Facebook, where it went viral with more than 25,000 views.
Writing alongside the clip, the daredevil said: 'Remember that time I lost my phone in Italy and the undercover police got it back and all that jazz?
'Well unfortunately that famous phone is no more. Yesterday I learned a valuable lesson, don't do a bungee jump with your phone in your pocket.
'It's at the bottom of a canyon now in South Africa! Apologies for the bad language!'
