Headline: RAW VIDEO: 'I Was Black And Blue For Two Days!' Watch The Moment Stuntman Smashes Backflop Record With Terrifying 10-Meter Drop
Caption: This is the jaw-dropping moment a fearless stuntman launched himself from a staggering 10-meter (32.8ft) diving board - landing flat on his back in what he claims is the highest planned backflop ever attempted. Norwegian daredevil Simen Mathisen, known for his extreme jumps, pulled off the stomach-churning feat without injury, though he admitted he was “black and blue for two days” from the brutal impact. Mathisen, who has spent six years perfecting bellyflops and backflops from 5 meters, had previously attempted a 7.5-meter jump in December 2024. But after searching high and low, he found no evidence of anyone deliberately going higher - so he set out to make history. “I’ve landed on my back from higher by accident, but this 10-meter jump was planned,” Mathisen revealed. “Only three people in the crowd knew about it—the rest had no idea what was coming.” The audience erupted in shock as he slammed into the water, but moments later, cheers rang out as Mathisen emerged unscathed. This isn’t Mathisen’s first record-breaking stunt. He also holds the title for the highest “Assblaster” - a daring 24-meter (78.7ft) drop landing on his backside. And he’s not ruling out going even higher. His message to potential challengers? “If somebody breaks this, I will.”
