Kayaker Plunges 127 Feet To Break Record and Survives

Submitted by admin on April 1, 2009 – 12:31 amNo Comment

Pedro Olivia, a 26 year old from Brazil spent the last four years searching for the perfect location to attempt to break the world record (previously set at 108 feet) for waterfall descents. He dropped 127 feet off the Salto Belo Falls in central Brazil. He fell for almost 3 seconds before hitting the water below at approximately 70mph. It was several minutes before onlookers realized he had reappeared near the bottom of the falls with a new world record.
