I've just finished Ski lessons now it's time to have some fun off the piste like that French guy Pierre. Where is that rock??

Also, you are right a helmet would not help with the decceleration injuries he is suffering to his brain. However, how do you know he has severe symptoms because of his jumps? Please enlighten us.

Story, no pics, here, but it might change shortly, judging from the non-permanent nature of the URL.

Fifteen minutes later, while hiking out, Pierre had a seizure, likely due to the minor concussion he suffered on the landing. "I've averaged at least one concussion per year since the early '90s," Pierre tells me. He seldom wears a helmet: "If it's a matter of my body going instantly from terminal velocity to zero, a helmet isn't gonna help much."not counting days 2016-17

If he landed on his head, does that mean someone could also run and dive off of the same cliff without skis?
Or do the skis create enough drag to slow him down enough to, uh, keep him alive?More gauze pads, please hurry!

of course, it could be that I am misinterpreting what Bernhard said, it has happened before.

That's a great picture. I hope a high-rez well colorbalanced version of it comes out now that the pooch has been screwed.

The snow has just kept coming this season and he has been scouting it for 7 years to get the right conditions. He landed on his head after flying upright for 100+ feet. He had to be dug out by a camera man. He left a 6' hole and prolly would have torpedoed head first deeper if he didn't have skis on.
IMHO, It should be the world record for an attempted cliff huck not hucks in general. How many of you are happy with a huck you can't ski away from?
Anyway, that was some big shit and props to him for being patient enough to get 'er done!!! WTG!

The world record for ski jumping is 239... METERS, that is about 784 ft. Set by norwegian Bjørn Einar Romøren in Planica 2005. That is of course not vertical distance, but distance from takeoff to landing.

Of course these are quite different accomplishments, and I am sure the impact is much greater for Pierre's vertical to full stop jump. But in terms of airtime I'm quite sure the skijumpers are still in the lead.All work and no play, ... you know...

This all makes perfect sense. Take a frog and fly him over the pond and plant his ass in mormonville.... next thing you know he has a jesus complex and is throwing himself off big cliffs.
Oh, and if you're willing to throw on skis and jump off that then you get credit no matter how you land. Mad props.
