Daredevil Sets New World Record With 193-Foot Cliff Jump
Laso Schaller, a Brazilian-born, Swiss-raised daredevil, has set a new cliff-jumping universe record after leaping from a 193-foot Cascata del Salto rapids in Maggia, Switzerland.
For perspective, that’s scarcely as high as San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge.
While Schaller regularly jumps from cliffs as high as 80, 100 or even 120 feet
In sequence to safely govern a jump, a attempt group had to build a wooden platform
“Once we get above [80 feet],” he told Red Bull, “everything starts to demeanour and feel a same. The usually disproportion is a airtime.”
Schaller had 3.58 seconds
“The sound was deafening,” according to Red Bull, “akin to a gunshot.”
Despite all his precautions and delicately positioning his physique to prop for impact, Schaller overshot a aerated H2O and landed in a harder H2O in a core of a pool.
He somewhat dislocated his right hip, though that didn’t stop him from climbing out of a pool with a outrageous smile on his face after completing a jump.
