This has to be seen to be believed.

When Tyler Bradt shot down Palouse falls, he broke a world record and his paddle, but he survived virtually unscathed.

Bradt achieved the feat in April, but the video has only just emerged.

After plunging 55 metres (180ft) he surfaced after seven seconds only slightly out of breath and with a sprained wrist.

"I actually expected more of an impact," he told the Seattle Times. "... considering the waterfall, the injuries were pretty minor."
