Video: Groom Subjected To Cruel Bungee Jump Prank During Stag Do

There is one golden rule to follow if you are a groom on your stag do: don’t let your so-called friends blindfold you.

Unfortunately, that piece of advice wasn’t heeded by the protagonist in this video clip.

It shows a poor groom-to-be being subjected to a cruel bungee jump prank by his mates.

Stripped to his underpants and draped in a cape - and a blindfold - the stag is tricked into thinking he is about to leap from a great height.

However, in reality, he only gets to jump about 20cm face first on to the pavement below.

The group, from the city of Irun in Spain’s Basque region, travelled over the border to France to pull the prank.

The video was later posted online and has been viewed more than 1.3 million times.

In the clip, the groom clings on to a rail in front of a train track. A train speeds past just to make him even more nervous.

He can be heard asking: “But I have to jump or fall?”

He then proclaims his love for his fiancée and his best friend should anything go wrong with the jump.

One of his friends says: “Don’t be silly, this is a professional thing, there is insurance.”

After putting him in a harness, they make him step over the railing.

He says: “This is really real, I’m really here.”

But then he jumps… into the arms of his laughing friends - and the pavement.
