The Brazilian-born and Swiss-raised Schaller jumped from a platform 59 meters high that's 193.57 feet for us Americans and hit a top speed of 123 km/h. Again, for us Yanks that's over 76 mph. - photo by John Clyde


BONKERS TOWN We all like to pretend like we're totally fearless, don't act like it's not true. You brag about that time you stood up to that terrifying dog, the time you braved those sketchy streets at night to get to that exclusive party or the time you spent the night in that haunted house.

When you dig a little deeper you realize all of those tales of heroism are just based on true stories. That vicious dog was a Pomeranian who happened to yelp a little as you cowered, that sketchy street was in Millcreek and that exclusive party was actually a Del Taco and that haunted house was actually your in-laws' and you just don't get along with them.

We all like to act tough, and some of us are, but I'm not sure any of us are quite as tough and brave as Laso Schaller.

First off, his name is awesome; secondly, he just broke the world record for highest cliff jump.

The Brazilian-born and Swiss-raised Schaller jumped from a platform 59 meters high that's 193.57 feet for us Americans and hit a top speed of 123 km/h. Again, for us Yanks that's over 76 mph.

The video is insane and my heart started pumping just watching Schaller jump. I think that means this stunt was incredibly impressive and I need to get out of the house more often.
