I once jumped from about 15 m, and I remember having enough time to think “I’ve been falling for way too long”

I fell off my bunkbed once…as a kid. That’s my high dive record.

Reminds me of when I climbed up a cliff and was about to jump off about 40 feet cliff. Just about the time I was measuring up enough courage to do it and jump feet first, this 13-year-old girl walks up turns around and does a backwards swan dive. That happened 30 years ago and I’m still trying to find my manhood.

I jumped out of bed this morning. Just thought I'd add my own anecdote to be part of the comments.

I have cliff jumped off of 28 meters (unfortunately after a few beers) and the fall time & impact is overwhelming. My equilibrium was super messed up and it felt like I had cracked my tailbone. How skilled you have to be to pull off almost a 200ft jump is next level...

This is the closest I’ll ever get to doing something like that, and I’m happy with that!

for all those who don't know: the waters surface tension is being reduced by flow and bubbles. usually such jumps have safety precautions like sunken grids oxygenating the water to break surface tension for the dive

As a non-diver, this is impressive AF. If I were a diver, I can imagine this is way more impressive than that.

I did this but much shorter distance. The problem, if you are not aware, is that when you hit the water, the bottom of your shoes, if angled the wrong way can cause your leg from the knee down to shoot out in an undesirable direction with a lot of force. I ended up laying on the shore for about fifteen minutes in pain because one of my knees was Seriously hyper-extended. It's been 30 years since my jump and I still have a weak knee from it.

It's actually perfectly safe to jump from almost any height. It's just the landing bit that can suck...

This is amazing. Love all the comments of others jumping off crazy heights too. When I was kid I used to freeze at the edge of the 5m board at our local pool and would end up climbing back down the ladders when I was bone dry... The shame 😂

I jumped off a 30' ledge into a lake at a bad forward angle. I didn't think a person could have the wind so violently knocked out of the lungs and not die as a result. Controlling desperate panic saved me from drowning, a skill learned while surfing.

Professional divers do call feet first entry into the water a dive....especially from that height. His neck would break if he went head first. The fact that he can even crawl is miraculous 👏

I used to jump off the quarries in Quincy, MA. The highest I ever jumped from was around 80'. That was into a much bigger water landing and that was scary as sh!t. This is almost 200'! This guy is truly insane.

This is a pretty smart place to jump. A.) You know its deep enough and B.) The waterfall is breaking the surface tension of the pool so the impact force is reduced. Turbulent water hurts a lot less than still water

I really wonder if wearing the helmet wasn't a mistake. Hitting the water at 123Kmh feet first, he was instantly decelerated significantly, compressing his spine. An instant later, as he was probably still traveling at a speed in excess of 80Kmh, that helmet became an instant "aqau-parachute", causing more rapid deceleration. Firmly strapped to his head, he's lucky it didn't cause an Atlanto-occipital dislocation....effectively a separation of your skull from your spine while leaving your head attached to the tissue of the neck. No wonder he appeared to be rather shaken up as he exited the water. But at least when he is 65 (assuming he lives that long if he keeps doing things like this) he'll know why he can't turn is head any more.

No one would jump from this height. Laso: Here, hold my balls

Don’t need to have that on my bucket list now , glad somebody beat me too it . Congrats , brave man .. you did it !

This brought back memories of "Wide World of Sports", they had cliff diving every now and then. I don't think the competitors were anywhere near this high, but I recall they had to push away when they jumped so they could get away from the rocks. Have never wanted/needed that kind of an adrenaline rush, but sure admire those who do!

Many many years ago, I worked at Valleyfair (MN). They had a diving show at the time and I had the distinct privilege and honor to befriend Dana Kunze. Such an amazing talent.

Wish they’d show how they built that platform…impressive.

If I ever want to go from 6'3" to 5'8" in under 10 seconds, this is it. What a trooper this guy is. I am on my 10th view and still blown away

When you look at the lake it seems small from that height, it feels like he has a chance to miss the right point to land. Insane!

One shot with full scale and no music would have been nice to give a pure feeling. Other than that, crazy and congrats!

Climbing out….”Yeah, nah…I’m fine, it’s just my bones and some organs. The rest of me is fine…”

Imagine when getting ready to jump, that corner snaps. "Well, I was headed down anyways."

I've jumped a 70ft cliff when I was much younger and the impact is so intense at that height, I honestly can't fathom doubling that height PLUS, and surviving?? Craziness. There was another cliff about 120ft that I know took the lives of a few daring teens throughout the years, but I did witness one Pro jump that successfully took it on and landed it. I remember thinking.... " am I about to witness someone's death??" 😟 No, he actually worked for a theme park as a High diver and knew what he was doing. Crazy brave...

“It’s not the fall that kills you, it’s the sudden stop” My Grandfather

Holy shit….. the conditions and your technique have to be PERFECT to survive this. Insane.

I feel like this is the only way I could get my back to crack.

I jumped 7 metres off a boat in Greece once, but I must not have positioned my head correctly because my neck snapped back and for the rest of the week long trip it was agony to look left or right.

When I was in my 20’s me and some friends decided to jump from a train trestle. It’s was 68 feet from the track to the water. I remember looking down and thinking about the time I was on the Empire State Building and the distance looked the same. I jumped and had plenty of time to think. Unfortunately one of the guys in my friend group landed off center a good bit and had to be life flighted. Broken ribs, punctured lung, and bruised badly all over his upper body. Looking back on it I remember how dumb we all were.

I'm 57 now. When I was 19 I went on my first back packing trip with a friend who talked me into jumping off a rock that turned out to b 72 feet off the water. I had always loved jumping off bridges or tall rocks. I got two involuntary screams out before hitting the water. Laso's jump is 2.7 times higher. I can't imagine the rag dolling this man did after hitting.

Didn’t realize Lewis Hamilton had a second job. He must need the money.

"In general, a person falling through the air on Earth reaches terminal velocity after about 12 seconds, which covers about 450 meters" Keep it bellow that, m-kay?! Insane stunt, happy he landed and survived!

This man is the reason I don’t have to do this ,hats off to you dude 😎

When I was younger we never did this.

I once jumped off a 24m (80ft) bridge. It was 4 full strokes to get back to the surface

Biggest Jump I ever did was off a buoy off Brittany France, 12 metres..broke my jaw.. Nerve damage to left side of head...this guy was insane..

When was a kid I remember competitors jumping off a 170-ish foot scaffold into a pool surrounded by an arena of spectators in San Diego. It was touted as world record event. The difference then is they were all wearing Speedos and doing flips and turns before lining up to land feet first. Crazy stuff. Exciting. But there wasn't a rock face cliff to avoid and the pool was huge. Kudos here on the record!

At that speed it must feel like landing on concrete. Amazing he didn’t break a list of bones.

He got from 0-60 mph faster than my car 😬

The first-person GoPro footage had me thinking ‘no no no, I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna’ even lying here under the covers. 😂

3 and half seconds felt like a lifetime to me, man's done solved cold fusion and the life equation by the time he hits water. Mad props.

OMG what a jump!! I did it once from 25m and will never do it again but this high is insane!!!! Respect dude

I used to do this when I was younger. Jumped from a 75’ bridge Lake Lilinoa Ct. I never knew the actual depth of the lake there so I never went in fully rigid but always ended up with tail bone ache and enema at the entry. The rush is comparable to the first drop on a roller coaster 🎢 hill.

That must have hurt! Was astonished that he didn't sink with such balls of steel!

I had a mini panic attack from the camera looking down view. 😩

Respect ✊ I could never do it ……looking at it from standing at the edge of the board waiting to jump shows how scary it actually is there didn’t seem a lot of clearance there when he hit the water

There are not enough superlatives to describe just how good this is.

Reminds me of the time I jumped into the water from the edge of my pool. Man what a rush.

Brooklyn Bridge worker POV

😬 I can't even go 3 rungs up a ladder without freaking out a little.

I can't imagine how many years of training is needed to jump off something.

I like how everybody read the comments and decided the jump they made as a kid had to be between 75-85 feet to keep up with everyone else.

I'm impressed he jumped with all the climbing gear on his hips. I imagine that metal slamming against his body felt like someone took a hammer to him.

Not a lot scares me in life, but I am terrified of heights. This makes me want to cry watching this!

My brother and I once jumped off about a 50’ bridge. I said “I’ll do a flip!” I jumped off again and did a perfect 1 1/4 and landed right on my face. Knocked myself out cold. I lucky I didn’t break my neck. My brother and a couple of people were down in my boat under the bridge. When they started to drag me back onto the swim step of my boat, right as I was coming to, a lady that was watching in another boat yelled over “did that hurt?”

Good on you for the uncut sequences!

Absolutely nuts how he survived this! I once jumped a 40ft cliff and my the balls of my feet were bruised for months, can only imagine the impact of jumping from this height.

Glad this was the full version. What part of the jump did they skip in the abridged version?

I’m scared to step off the curb

breaking the laws of sanity. it's impossible not to do a deep dive into this video.

I once jumped from a high dive platform when I was 14 years old (not my idea ,I am afraid to get 2 steps off the ground) on the way down to my belly flop , I am thinking “IF. I SURVIVE THIS STUPID Stunt I WILL NEVER EVER GET TALKED INTO DOING SOMETHING I DON’T WANT TO DO ! As I hit water my breath was knocked out of my lungs 🫁 but hitting the water was worse! As I tried to move to the edge of the pool I noticed that good looking Life Guard was on his feet watching me at that moment I was the only girl he had his mind and eyes on ! So I call that a perfect dive ! He came over to make sure I was alright helped me out of the pool ! One of my fondest memories ! Better then a Gold MEDAL ! I am 85 now but oh that guy was cute !) I thinking

15 meters was my limit. It allows one time to contemplate "Was this the best idea" And then one's testicles hits the water and you have the answer.

Thats some feat 🙌 When I was about 14 i jumped off the rocks in Gibraltar many times feet fist I would say from 5-6m and into salt water no problem. Fast forward a year and I decided to show off and dive head first from a 5m board into fresh water.... my head impacting the water almost knocked me out and my neck ached for days !!!!

The view from his perspective is just inconparable to watching it.

I have always enjoyed cliff jumping. It's a pretty popular summer activity where I live. I've gone off some pretty high ones, we used to have a spot right next to a waterfall where u jump from aways above the waterfall and end up falling next to it. It was around 60-70 ft. Measured with rope. So give or take some ft. The turbulence after landing was very intense. I can only imagine what this one would feel like.

Nice! He did it right…feet first, arms folded to protect your face from from splash, spread your arms after impact to decelerate. Great job dude. Enjoy the record!

That was just incredible 😱 it’s so high !!!! You must be really crazy to do this.

1:24 falling for 4 seconds! Poor Loki!

This is madness.

Balls of steel

What's really amazing is that his big giant Ko Jones, could fit on that little platform with him!!

I once hesitated to jump from a 5-metre height at my local bathing place in Sweden, and I hesitated for so long that all the visitors there started cheering on me to jump. Then I jumped after like 5-10 minutes, and everyone was like "YEAH!", lol.

That hug, those eyes closed, he appreciating him while he could...

Holy smokes this is amazing!!!

This guy is completely insane...and yet I envy him.

I accidentally did a back flop off a 20m cliff when i was twenty years old. I broke my back lol. Seriously.

No one's talking about his red mate who's already in the water while he was with him before. He jumped after him in order to take care of him. He's the real hero. [Just kiddin' ]

the audio was awesome as well as the jump!

I'm glad that guy did it, cause if the world was waiting for me to do it they would be really disappointed!!!

I jumped off "The Rock" at Guadalupe reservoir at 10 m and that was enough for me.

The guy that invented the "Mute Button" should have a National Holiday named after him.

Holy moly that is crazy

I jumped out of bed this morning 😅 3' to the floor... Landed It... Carry On ✌️

This dude is tough as nails and even HE was in some pain after that. I could do this too.........once, then I'd be a carcass.

That water hole is plenty big but wow it looks TINY from that height. That alone is terrifying

Excellent! One less thing I have to prove can be done

It's not falling that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end.

Bro you are a fing beast and truly a BOSS. Keep on sending 🤙

Lewis Hamilton’s best jump

One of my former fire fighting buddies decided to jump in some water off of something about a decade ago and hit the back of his head on something.It paralyzed him and he has been living in a home that cares for people ever since.Also unrelated he lost his main house he lived in a fire last year that his kid was living in.

I once jumped from the 5 meter and burst both my eardrums. This is insane !!

Dude is gonna have sore legs and back pain the next day

This will go down in the history books for at least a year.

I can only imagine how much that hurt... Out of the water he had some real strength to stand up and wave I would have gotten right onto that stretcher lmao.

You sir are crazy... never in a million years. 🤙

Reminds me of when I was 9 and I jumped from a plane 6000m up without a parachute over a lake and had a perfect feet first entrance,only had minor sore ankles,but this jump was pretty cool

Laso Schaller, congrats! 😊 Can you tell what did you feel after that jump, when you opened your eyes under the water? What did you think about in the air when you were falling down? What was your emotions when you looked down from such a high?
