The narrator stands on an elevated platform waiting to jump with two others. Looking around, they see unusual sights like half-naked men on a cable car, Buddhist monks on cell phones, and their normally fearless friend Mr. Brown scared. After hearing a scream, the first pair who jumped are nowhere to be seen. Leaning over the railing, the narrator sees only a bouncing blur below. Strapped to the rope by one man, they are sent toward another holding the main rope, who tells them to yell "cheese" before letting go and saying "Jump".
