Crooked Halo - 6 years ago

Kayakers, or anyone who knows...What are the risks here? Obviously the fast impact at bottom, but did he know if his kayak would hit nose first? Is that the ideal impact? I assume that would lessen the hit. If kayak hit flat would it be worse or even survivable? Would air content of water, surging & turbulence soften the impact? Is there risk of getting caught/pinned under the falls?

River Roots - 6 years ago

Hey Crooked Halo! You should check out our latest feature film "Chasing Niagara." It's available on iTunes, Amazon. etc. Or Blu Ray off our website RiverRoots.com It will have all the answers to your questions and then some. Thanks!

Ray Nash - 8 years ago

Tyler,,,, what can another paddler say but the river Gods love a true paddlers heart !!!! Great Job !!!!

SteepVisions - 8 years ago

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

SteepVisions - 6 years ago

The aeration in the water allows him to slow down over a certain period of time. So not sure what the g force on him was, but crazy for sure.

Crooked Halo - 6 years ago

So his speed is 75 mph, but I wonder if impact was softened by turbulence, air content, hitting nose first or anything else?

EnVision - 7 years ago

+wrbrbl irbl You lost me at Hello ;-D

wrbrbl irbl - 7 years ago

+SteepVisions Nice to see there are other Gnerds out there! Here are the equations, which are fun to use to calculate not only speed of an airborne buddy but also the height jumped!

f = (m_1)(a), IOWS force equals mass of Rafa times acceleration of gravity

But

f=(G)(m_1)(m_2)/r^2, where G is the gravitational constant, m_1 is Rafa, m_2 is mass of earth, and r is distance.

Combine equations
(G)(m_1)(m_2)/r^2 = (m1)(a)

Therefore acceleration of gravity a = G(m_2)/r^2, where r changes. This would give a more precise but negligibly different answer. Unfortunately even the number of significant figures for SteepVisions answer is too high since the height is probably not 189.00000 feet. We need a precise height measurement or assume 75.2 mph.

That could be remedied using kinematic equation dist = (1/2)(a)(t^2), where t is time in air, so long as the video clip used to obtain t is verified to be in real time. But this again assumes a is const so Law of Universal Gravitation wouldn't be usable without physically measuring the height of the drop to at least 7 decimal places.

I am not taking into account Einstein's theory of general relativity, which would change things another negligible amount.

Stefanos Baskas - 8 years ago

I'm still wondering how he didn't break his neck or spinal cord when at impact with the water? The force when he would hit the water should have been so hard that it should have left him paralyzed or dead

xDezzered - 7 years ago

+Wayne Wallace The kayak also did a huge amount of water breaking, plenty to soften the impact for survival, also its all in the position, he hugged his boat closer than anything he has before.

George R.R Martin HAT - 9 years ago

I've never touched a kayak but I just want to understand the technique of this, even going over smaller big falls, how does it work? It just seems like they would hit the water so hard , how do you not get injured/killed going over a damn waterfall in a kayak hah

Richard Dey - 9 years ago

+Harry Halfhide Right. Every Boston boy jumped Swingles quarry in my day (some dead, to be sure), but it was a rite du passage. The big jump was 72' when I did it. Even in still water it seriously depends on how you strike. We had monkeys on ropes all round (called angels) who could swing down to get your body if you lost your breath. You need to reduce the size of your body to its straightest. I can't imagine doing it in kayak. BTW, Swingles was filled in by the Big Dig. Just too many fatalities for the sissies (or the undertakers) to handle. PS: Always wear a metal jockstrap at those heights (oh, and don't kill yourself intestate; write a will).

Harry Halfhide - 9 years ago

The water at the bottom is churned up and air-ated, so the impact is softer. If you were to launch of a 180ft bridge with flat water underneath the impact would then definitely break the boat and the paddler.

Mcnoobster Baddabing - 9 years ago

+George R.R Martin HAT Majority of kayakers survey the waterfalls they intend to leap off of beforehand. If you notice in the beginning of the video, the phone call he made to his buddy states that they have been watching the activity of the waterfall for the right time to do so. I'm sure they're well aware of the depth of the pool they will land in. Yes, the idea is to be vertical and before impact cross your arms and push your head against them into the hull of the kayak. This closes the gap in which the buoyance of the kayak will force against the kayaker upon impact.

George R.R Martin HAT - 9 years ago

yhea back/spine injury looks guaranteed with this crazy shit. but if they drop vertical how do they figure they won't impact the bottom with the nose

Johannes - 9 years ago

extreme paddlers like these guys receive injuries very often! broken noses, shoulders, etc...
when you run a high waterfall, the most important thing is to get your boat vertical to the surface before hitting the water. otherwise you could easily broke your back or something else.........

True, but what an understatement. If you land flat off of a drop like that, I believe that there is basically no chance that you will even survive. Your shattered spine/hips/whatever the fuck else breaks in your body would be the least of your worries.

Connor Coultas - 10 years ago

It kind of angers me how little any one knows about this sport because they come here and comment on things they know nothing about. The skill was there and he proved that. Also who cares if it doesn't benefit anyone it doesn't hurt anyone either. He knew he could of died and if he did he wouldn't have been the first kayaker to die. At least it would have been doing something he loved instead of a heart attack from eating too much KFC. Doesnt' matter though cause he LIVED!

Connor Coultas - 10 years ago

IDK if you have seen the tyt thing on kayaking the falls but they basically called it a fluke. I very much disagree because I kayak and it has been done twice now, but if you want to watch just look for kayaking niagra falls and it should be there.

I think you were reaching for a contraction, you're, but fell short of the mark. I am not acting like I am smart, I am. Tried to be gracious in my previous response but you appear bent on being a protagonist. "I speak English and live in the US." God help the US

surferdude330 - 10 years ago

Wow! Better to be silent And thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt. You allege to speak English. You have the cursing down but might want to stay clear of big words. I don't have all night but just a few examples from your last post...using the word oxymoron's in context with my previous post is nonsensical. And it should be plural, not possessive. In your (word used properly) last sentence

Ricky Bobby - 10 years ago

Try no shit Sherlock. I speak English and live in the US. Your statement was full of oxymoron's. I understand what sarcasm is. Your acting like your smart but your sentence made little sense.

surferdude330 - 10 years ago

The name Einstein is often referenced sarcastically to imply someone is not very bright. Your not getting that along with not being able to construct a grammatically correct or cogent sentence leads me to think English is not your primary language. If so, I apologize. There is no way I coud post on a thread like this in a second language. Peace bro.

Ricky Bobby - 10 years ago

That makes very little sense. Einstein was a inventor not a doctor. Also if I were a idiot I wouldn't be able to make a cure. However if Einstein was alive maybe he would invent something to drop of a waterfall safely or something to keep your hands off the keyboard because you clearly can't write a sentence that makes one bit of sense.

surferdude330 - 10 years ago

Hey Einstein. Why don't you find a cure for idiots and heal yourself.

Good for you. Keeping it real!!!

You know nothing about it, but question his ability?. really?. I'm surprised he can fit in his boat with nads that big! that kid is fearless & Talented. don't get jealous and attack him, just enjoy his latest accomplishment. he's been doing this for years and probably knows more than almost anyone when it comes to running big waterfalls.... bigger than anyone has ever ran before. He is a Pioneer in this spectrum of kayaking.

Daniel J. Fylan-Smith - 10 years ago

Respect to Tyler and Rush for what they do and what the contribute to the sport, having met Rush in Mexico briefly, he's a bloody good bloke and passionate film maker. I have been kayaking for 5 years now and only after my time in Mexico last year did I finally feel confident to to run some big slides and waterfalls. Great passion, belief and vision, very inspirational to kayakers and film makers alike!!

MusicWoman55 - 10 years ago

People climb dangerous mountains because they are there, even though many may have died trying before their own attempt. Same for kayaking waterfalls, I believe. As long as new challenges exist, some human being somewhere will rise to those challenges. While I lack both the skills and the desire to conquer waterfalls, I respect those who take those calculated risks. Kudos to Tyler; glad you made it with minimal injuries! Sorry about your paddle, lol.

River Roots - 10 years ago

solswis... I'm afraid you are completely wrong. The precision of strokes, balance, and technique utilized to run a drop this big takes years and years of practice. "Barrels" are completely different because the person does nothing... Running waterfalls is similar to high diving. Furthermore, putting yourself in the right spot at the lip of this monster is harder than you might think... Angle entry and air awareness take years of mastery, and the slightest mistake can deem fatal...

solswis - 10 years ago

Talent? Really? People have gone over Niagra Falls in "barrels" - would you call them talented? Other than willing to kill himself for a record and the ability to point a boat in the right slot, I don't see Tyler's talent on display here. What talents and skills did he use just after going over the drop - prayer? This is a stunt. I suspect he used more kayaking skills in the rapid approaching the falls.

Ricky Bobby - 10 years ago

To the average person probably nothing. How about people in a third world country who use water to travel? Or how about someone in a extreme survival situation? It could definitely be useful information. Did I say this guy going off a waterfall would save the world or cure cancer? No. Only that if people don't do crazy things we wouldn't make discoveries whether they're important or not. Wake up before you talk shit and stop posing to two month old comments. Reason with that bitch.

James Crud - 10 years ago

"You don't know dropping off a waterfall has no benefits to society" I know your comment is 2 months old but...you did not just say that!...seriously bro?...what possible benefit could it have in the context of the average person's everyday life? "...suggest things to make it safer or the dangers associated with waterfalls" The majority of people already know the danger because...it's obvious! You're reasoning skills astound me!

People enjoy different things. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean they are posturing or trying to prove themselves. They share it with the world because it is what they love to do, and there is nothing wrong with sharing your passions. There is, however, something innately wrong with insulting or shitting on another's passions. You do you, and let others be themselves. But thanks for making it easy to spot one more cunt in the world. and that's you, you cunt.

River Roots - 10 years ago

That's funny cause his dad is the man and LOVES that Tyler pushes himself on waterfalls. He also kayaks hard whitewater with Tyler and is a bit of a wild man himself. Tyler's run is a CALCULATED descent and the odds of him sticking it were in his favor... And he did stick it... And he didn't die. So... I guess you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

I guess there's no real discussion with you, as we're both set in our thoughts. I just thinking comparing the first men to fly an airplane and a guy who kayaks off large waterfalls is asinine.

Ricky Bobby - 10 years ago

Everyone thought the wright brothers were crazy! Nobody then understood why they were doing this and they thought it was pointless but now theres aircraft's. If the wright brothers plan failed you would just think they were idiots to. You don't know dropping off a waterfall has no benefits to society. He has already proven if someone HAD to do this it can be done. He could suggest things to make it safer or the dangers associated with waterfalls. He could save others lives through his knowledge.

gillettecrackers - 10 years ago

No. The limits that you cite are limits pushed to either further the development of humanity or further the development of science. In the case of the Wright brothers, their plan was based on scientific concepts and planning. In this case, it's a man kayaking off a waterfall, knowing that he could die...for no good reason.

Ricky Bobby - 10 years ago

People just shouldn't push limits then? The wright brothers shouldn't have tried to fly a plane, martin luther king shouldn't have stood up for rights, and our military shouldn't fight to protect our country? Where would our society be if people didn't do dangerous things to push the limits of possibility and necessity? There will always be cowards and heros. If my probability of dying was high at least it would be for something I believe in not a warm comfy fat cat bed talking crap on youtube.

gillettecrackers - 10 years ago

No, because you only have one life. Sure, have fun, but if you continually do things that have a high probability of dying, yeah, it's stupid. Fucking stupid.

bruzote - 11 years ago

Try jumping off of a 10-meter platform at a pool, feet first with a paddle in your hand. It will give you a hint. ;-)

bruzote - 11 years ago

Additional risk presents itself at 2:37 in the final drop segment. You can see the falls take a bump on the way down. The bump is within sight of anyone planning on doing the drop, but who would notice it until hitting it? Any unexpected bump on the drop could alter one's orientation from feet(-on-pegs) first to back-of-the-neck first, or sideways or whatever. It seems pretty obvious that he could have easily been killed if his orientation was suddenly bumped out of alignment. Very risky stuff!

bruzote - 11 years ago

So just jump. Don't forget to post the video results.

Titanium is actually 7 times heavier than lithium. Titanium does have the highest strength to weight ratio of any known metal though.

ctophman1 - 11 years ago

Maybe he was making a reference of the lightest metal on Earth floating, and being sarcastic of the way he said "I'm surprised he didn't sink."; because if he had balls of Titanium, it is what popped him back and kept him alive because his balls are "FUCKING TITANIUM.".

@jumper5971 lol didnt cross my mind you would already have one by now oops :P Well fair doos I havnt paddled a kingpin but I'm not that into freestyle. Go fouth, and Boatify!

Tom Yates - 12 years ago

@thecatwith9lives as you can see i posted this 4 months ago. So now i have the kingpin. I tested the agent and juice and the juice was very bad and i just preferred the kingpin over the agent. Would highly recommend the dagger kingpin to anyone!!

Jamie Greenhalgh - 12 years ago

@jumper5971 depends what you want to do. Agent and kingpin are straight freestyle boats so great for busting moves but will be less forgiving on a river. juice will be more forgiving and is a very nice boat and pretty playful on a river. If you go BIG then get a Nomad like he has. I love my one!

jo3tag - 12 years ago

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.

Derek Tomes - 12 years ago

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

MGoose66 - 12 years ago

@MrDarinWarren Having seen many waterfalls, yet none that big, I can tell you taht a drop like that would have a significant plunge pool. Rocks would be VERY unlikely as the pounding force of the water, over 1000's of years, including with flood and debris, wipes such stuff out. Scuba would be impossible. If there's no obvious current deviations, it's pretty good. Some people float dummies - they probably did - to see where they spit out. Sensational effort though, eh?

@superlegface Where's the video?

A0S - 12 years ago

@alanator While I do agree with you, to a point, what did we get/learn from this? How and what is this going to further? There's research and science that go into improving our lives, or new technology, none of which is shown here. Saying that this in any way shape or form in some way anything other than a dare-devil pushing his luck for the hell of it, is like saying that Evel Knievel's X-2 jump helped NASA make better space shuttles.

Unreal Video. Does anyone know what this TRIBE logo is about? Can find reference to it anywhere, but it appears a bit in extreme kayak events

Andrew Bavetta - 12 years ago

Anybody else notice what appears to a breathing tube from his mouth to the sprayskirt. I always wondered about that idea since if the sprayskirt doesn't blow off Tyler could breath the air trapped in the Kayak.

augiedauggie - 12 years ago

@lytealight they have to have a good amount of control over themselves. If there kayak rotates over they fall flat on there back and are ejected under water probably breaking a few major bones in the back at that height though there isn't room for error. Becoming paraplegic would be the least of your worries

@Xxsideshow22xX are you serious? if you havent dropped a waterfall of any size you cant possibly say anything about this not being cool! it takes so much skil! picking the right line where to place your paddle strokes, lading at the correct angle, and rolling back up when you resurface upside down.

originalwizbang - 12 years ago

he also went into the water on one side of the waterfall but supposedly popped out on the opposite side, musta been some crazy current there, and if this was a real world record attempt methinks he would have had other cameras on the other side of the canyon, so why dont we have the film of him actually coming up from out of the water there? Just seems weird to me, if its real lets see the other film.

@10missgloria Why so serious? This man is living his life, testing the limits of the human body, and experiencing something that not many on the face of this Earth can claim they've attempted or even considered attempting. The day that he does pass away, he will be remembered for attaining something you haven't. The day he passes, he will be remembered for living his life and loving it. What will you be remembered for? Besides trolling on someone else's accomplishments?

zaboj666 - 13 years ago

BRAVO ! This is maximum progression, ...now lets change the rules and say that you have to come out upwards in front of the waterfall. Not beaten in the green room ;), like this records usualy end up. Thumbs up, best foto ever, for my wall !!!

James Cross - 13 years ago

Please, anyone know the song at the end of video, the piano playing I mean. Thanks for answer

GuidesHouse.org - 13 years ago

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.

Downclimb4what - 13 years ago

@10missgloria Life without risks is boring. telling your kids not to play on the swing set because they might get hurt is stupid. The world is an amusement park... play on it

Soccerownzu - 13 years ago

@10missgloria You're just living scared. Who cares? We typed in world record kayak waterfall to obviously see a kayaker fall from insane heights. We don't give a damn about his family and friends. If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

@actionman53 It's a device to keep his skirt on when he lands, check 1:37

astrofly - 13 years ago

A kayaker drowned last year going over the 12 meter Lundbreck waterfall that doesn't have anything close to the volume this fall has . He was held under by the recirculating water at the base for 10 minutes. He was an expert kayaker and had successfully gone over this waterfall many times before, as have many other kayakers. One is taking a random chance for death doing this.

kodachromefilm - 13 years ago

Stupid. More guts than brains.

Chris P - 13 years ago

I watched a guy (Jesse) go over Niagara Falls back in 1990. He did not survive. Niagara falls is more dangerous due to the volume of water. Once you go under there is less chance you will come up any time soon.

Nice job Tyler. Stay safe out there.

Carl Rollberg - 13 years ago

Carandme, what's that you said about brains when you use "then" instead of "than?" Men climb mountains, bungy jump, skate board and break or attempt to break all kinds of records. Yes, they do have guts, but when they do these things, they use brains too.
