Tyler Bradt Highest Waterfall In A Kayak 189ft (Official World Record)

I love the shot of him holding up the broken paddle as he exits the fall. Tells a story all by itself.

Still epic 10 and a half years later, record still stands.

doesnt he know talking on the cell phone and driving is dangerous?

I did the math: Height: 189ft 57.6072m Gravity: 9.80665 m/s^2 Free fall time: 3.427623s Velocity on impact: 33.6134 m/s 121.0085 km/h 75.19123 mph

Just proves Red Bull damages brain cells and increases ball size!!

I can't believe he was talking on the phone while driving. What a badass!

That half paddle is worth alot more than it was new! It should be in a museum! This is a rare test of limits. Anything that can be spoken or typed is just a ripple in the pond. Rush, Tyler... thank you so much for posting this! I bought DVD too, but this clip is very special. Kudos A+++

This video has nothing to do with how he can improve the world. It's all about getting off your tail and enjoying life instead of sitting in the shadows getting fat and casting stones at the ones who do. Instead of complaining about why he done it, pat the man on the back for having the courage to face life's fears and surviving.

Wow. That was intense waiting for him to appear. Can't imagine how it felt for the guys in the kayaks down below.

Robert it goes down

Reason he popped up so fast was because his sizable balls.

Friends: lol bro it's impossible to go off drops that high and live Tyler: hold my beer

This takes some serious balls. I love the outdoors and have taken calculated risks which you have to when dealing with nature. This is way beyond what I would ever consider but if people get a thrill from this then hats off to them and go for it I can identify with wanting to push what your capabilities are

incredible. That man deserves a beer.

I've been wondering when someone would try that, we were there 5 years ago and my friends said it was too much but I knew someone would pull it off. Props dude that takes a lot of follow through. Epic, good job with the video too I'm sure your mom really likes it.

About 6 years ago, (2015 I think) wife and I were visiting the falls, the flow was not a great as it was in this video, but we saw a kayak go over the falls. We thought we were witnessing a mistake/tragic accident. We watched the kayak paddle out of the pool and to shore. About 5 minutes later, a second one goes over the falls. Same result. Another 5 minutes go by and a third repeats the event. After the second one, we realized it was planned. People say I took crazy risks in my younger days. I was a chair bound conservative compared to these people.

And he didn't wear a go pro!?

For everyone that thinks this is fake, I'll tell u right now it's not. Why would they fake it? Tyler is a professional kayaker he does this for a living. He doesn't go around the world and fake waterfall descents

Jawdropping, amazing, incredible! Unfortunately, I speak of the haters leaving comments about how there is no skill involved in this descent "just floating over a fall and hoping for the best" and such. Without a doubt, none of you have ever sat in a kayak and pushed yourself from a shore, let alone to any kind of limit. More than likely, leaving your uninformed comment will be your SECOND most important contribution to this planet...... the first being fertilizer when you pass and are burried.

Extremely INCREDIBLE, I couldn't have mustered the guts to do it, much less do I have the skill. I respect you greatly, you put a lot on the line for the advancement of kayaking
