Not much room for error in that one.

Now that’s more stupid than insane...sure it depends on a great deal of skill but there is also an enormous element of luck involved with that stunt. If it was theoretically possible to do that 100 times, he would probably go splat 90 times.

I am so glad that stuff like that did not exist when I was young and crazy. I would have fought my way to the front of the line to try it.

I wonder what his heart rate was when he touched down?

Wow! Insane.

Seeing him head toward the rock formation, I thought he would split the large gap and I thought that was dangerous with little room for error. I didn’t even see the little seam between those 2 rocks until he was almost in it.

That was heart stopping to watch.

Fantastic video but if he is gotten to the point of ever more difficult stunts, then this won’t end well. He is going to die. But we should have some fantastic viewing material in the meantime.

He's already went splat; caution may be disturbing to some viewers.....well, kinda. He broke both of his legs when he smacked a ledge (in Africa?).

He got pretty banged up, but still jumps.

I still think this jump is more impressive

I applaud him! He represents the American courage and ingenuity we once had when embarking on the moon landing, space station, etc. Go for it, Bro!!
