Watch this kayaker make the second tallest waterfall descent in known history, intentionally paddling off a 134-foot drop before coming out the other end unscathed
American paddler Dane Jackson may have made a living by testing the very limits of the sport but his latest triumph is something extraordinary. Earlier this month, the 26-year-old made the second tallest waterfall descent in known history, dropping 134-foot into the relative unknown before coming out the other end unscathed. "It looks like you're falling off the face of the earth," he told CNN Sport's Don Riddell just days after the death-defying run.
Despite expecting a massive hit when he made contact with the water, Jackson said the impact was surprisingly smooth -- although he was forced to jump out of his kayak at the bottom after it began filling up with water. "There's definitely a lot of things that can go wrong," he admitted."Luckily, over the years, I've run enough waterfalls that I have a lot of trust and faith in my skill to be able to do something like that.
