Dana Kunze’s 172 Foot World Record High Dive

John P.

March 31, 2009 By John P.

dana-kunzeHere’s a question for you. How much would it take to get you to climb a 172 foot tall tower that is swaying in the wind, wearing multiple bikinis? Then, how much more to jump off? Finally, how about jumping off and doing somersaults all the way down to the water where you could easily break your neck and die?

For me? Priceless. For Dana Kunze? Oh, that’s free!

Dana holds the record for “World’s Highest Dive”, and this is a video of that actual event. Interestingly, he didn’t just successfully complete the dive. He did it with absolutely perfect form. Now that takes cojones of steel and iron nerves as well.

    Oh Man…I’ve seen this on YouTube before, it’s brutal! There is NO WAY I would even get on the 10th rung of that ladder never mind 172ft up! Well done to the bloke though…tough act!

    This clip has had over 2 million views on youtube, not bad hey! I don’t do the jumping off cliffs and diving platforms, as something in the soles of my feet seem to secrete superglue and I can not get my feet to lift to propel me over the edge.

    Whats worse about this is that the water space for the dive looked so small, the area should have been much bigger, lol. Honestly… I doubt I would do it….unless… I had been training alot. And even then… it would take ALOT of money. I am talking about money that could set me up for virtualy an unlimited bank account lol, I wonder how much that dive hurt… because he certainly did drill it, and I heard a big boom lol.

    I am assuming that was also Tape on his nose?

    Why would that guy give him 7.5 score? That judge must have rated Dana down because his banana hammock wasn’t tight enough.

    I agree. His bathing dress doesn’t suit him.
