Remember the first time standing on a high-dive at your local pool? It was a little terrifying, right? Maybe 10 feet high? Imagine what it would be like to stand on a platform nearly 59 meters high, taller than the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and perched on a cliff above a tiny natural pool of water. Yeah…no thanks. But don’t worry, Laso Schaller’s POV of the jump is enough to make your stomach flip. Take a look at the man’s world record cliff jump, and prepare yourself for one of the gnarliest POV shots ever.
The whole thing was great to watch, but that POV shot at the end was thrilling. Full screen this puppy. [Via Laughing Squid]
Insane in the membraine! I have jumped off much smaller “cliffs” … into much bigger bodies of water … they guy’s jump was so smooth – and it had to be – big plus for the slow mo telemetry!
Phenomenal! Thrilling. That these thrill-seekers share this with us to enjoy in an admittedly, somewhat reduced way is still a great gift. A good friend of mine died last year in the very, very dangerous sport of wing suit skydiving but I know he would never have traded a thousand of my “safe” lifestyles for his. Ever. I wish I could have experienced a fraction of what he felt with every jump and when people share stuff like this, I kind of feel like it does.
