That's a skier setting a world record by jumping off of a 255 foot cliff.

He must have been watching too much of the Olympics.

But honestly that is not that crazy. The guys that do that long jump of the ski platform, fall 200 feet or so.

The ski jumpers launch themselves more horizontally and land on a landing strip specifically inclined at a steep angle to allow minimal impact...totally different from that yayhoo jumping 250+ feet straight down onto an unprepared surface.

True, but I am sure he has tried to pick out a soft spot and not just jump and land on rock or a little tree or something. Well at least I hope.
