The man who set the new cliff drop world record. Unintentionally.

Fred Syversen

Norwegian skier Fred Syversen was filming a ski movie Nuit de la Glisse with his crew last year. While he was approaching the grand finale, the big drop in the end of the line Fred Syversen went too right and dropped the wrong cliff.



Unintentionally he skied a line that lead to his 107 meters cliff drop. His speed was estimated to be over 80 km/h when he jumped. Fred is lucky to be alive. A 107-meter fall is absolutely staggering. It’s incredible that he survived. Fred even landed close to the rocks, and he was buried more than 2.5 meters in the snow. He was flown to hospital where they found minor damage in his liver. He was ordered to take it easy for the next few weeks.
