Compilation of 3 Cliff Drops Over 200 Feet High

Crazy skiers dropping 200+ feet on skis. Check out the 2nd one, he almost hits a huge rock at the bottom, must be inches away from it! The mini avalanches he creates while getting speed for the jump are pretty cool. The highest is 245 feet. I can’t imagine what goes through their minds as they jump…

If you are wondering why they are landing upside down but slightly on their backs after the cliff drops it’s because the force of the landing will probably break their legs.

Here’s the name and height of each crazy high cliff jump:

  • Titus Engelborg ski jumps off a 210 foot high clif
  • Leo Brayman sk jumps off a 230 foot high cliff
  • Jamie Pierre ski jumps off a 245 foot high cliff

Back Flip Off a 100ft Cliff

Out at the top of some mountains with beautiful, clear blue skis, a skier decides to go jump off a cliff. This is no ordinary jump however as he does a back flip while jump off the 100ft high cliff. He executes it perfectly.
