Irish guy loses phone doing world's highest bungee jump and his reaction is gas

Máirtín Farragher from Ballinrobe is having the trip of a lifetime in South Africa and on Monday, he headed to do the world's highest bungee jump at Bloukran’s Bridge. 

Keeping a tight grip on his GoPro, he took the terrifying leap but learned the hard way that keeping your phone in your pocket wasn't the best idea:

"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!"

Take a look at the moment it happened  - and watch out for a bit of bad language. 

It's not the first adventure his phone has had - last month, it was stolen from his hostel in Italy but thanks to some undercover police, managed to get it back. 

Oh and while he was in Italy, Máirtín, who is a musician, had the opportunity to perform with Damian Rice at the Pistoia Blues Festival.

Writing on Facebook at the time, he explains how he managed to swing it: 

"Last night I blagged my way backstage after the Damien Rice concert. Guitar on my back, I told security I was playing earlier! Damien was impressed with my bullshit skills and couldn't believe I'd travelled all that way. He asked me to play one of my own songs for him and the crew, I shat my pants! Surreal! He then invited me to play with him for the Aftershow in front of hundreds of people. Dream come through."

He's having quite the summer.
