Last week we wet your appetite. Here now is the extended clip of Rick Mercer and Rick Hansen (wheelchair and all!) going bungee jumping in beautiful British Columbia. Damn, the Rick Mercer Report is h-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s!:

As most of you probably know, Rick Hansen is a truly iconic Canadian who was in an automobile crash at age 15 that left him a paraplegic. In 1985, after winning 19 international wheelchair marathons, he began his dream to circumnavigate the earth and raise awareness and money for spinal cord injury victims. Two years later he completed 40,000 km and raised $26 million. Today he is (among many many things) the President and CEO of the extremely successful and influential Rick Hansen Foundation.
