I'm sorry but I've got absolute nothing but disdain and derision for people who do that shit >:(.

"When the moment of truth arrived, Jesse calmly paddled to the edge of the drop - then braced himself for the three-second drop into the plunge pool below.

It wasn't a completely happy ending for Jesse. The brutal impact left him with a fractured shoulder and a collapsed lung - but it could have been worse.

The only person to ‘jump' the Abiqua before him dislocated both knees, while kayak world record holder Tyler Bradt attempted the same feat a week after Coombs broke his back."

Pity he didn't break his neck - it would have deepened the gene pool significantly ;) :).

It takes a lot of skill to FALL 96ft, anybody could do it.  ???

Good luck to him, I suppose?? :o  But apart from balls [and/or no brains], and holding his posture during the fall not a lot of skill is required. His parents must be so proud…  :D

 I think I've heard it called "gross stupidity and a need for attention"
