Bungee challenge is too much for her

Mira Weingart was supposed to jump from a gondola to shoot the SRF web format “Fight 4 Flags,” but the presenter struggled with her fear of heights. The situation was so bad for her that she burst into tears from sheer fear.

Emotions overwhelmed Mira Weingart when she was supposed to jump from the gondola.
SRF host Mira Weingart (26) lets her emotions run free on the “Fight 4 Flags” web show. When she had to jump out of a gondola in a “blatant bungee challenge”, panic was written all over her face. Weingart, who recently moderated SRF Virus, cried as she stood in front of the open gondola door. “I can’t take it anymore,” she says, clearly at the limit.
In a single player, she explains, “I had a complete breakdown.” This breakdown becomes even clearer a few seconds later: Weingart breaks down the challenge. More tears came and she gasped for air in panic. The team on site must help the woman from Lucerne to calm down again.
Height is nothing to Weingart
The radio presenter is known for her tough nature – but the challenge of throwing a ball at the target while jumping from the gondola was too much for her. “Funnily enough, people think of me as someone who does things like that. But it’s really completely wrong.”
“Fight 4 Flags” is an SRF web show in which the four language regions of Switzerland compete against each other. The candidates are mostly young figures from the broadcasters SRF, RTS, RSI and RTR. In addition to Mira Weingart, online host Amila Redzic, 23, former “Zwei am Morge” comedian Ramin Yousofzai, 29, and comedian Mateo Gudenrath, 27, are fighting for victory for German-speaking Switzerland.

“Fight 4 Flags” is published every Wednesday on YouTube. This week’s final show is already available on SRF Play.
