I’m pretty sure Jesus does not want people to huck more than like 250′. Giants can do more cuz they’re, well, taller. Look it up.

Like AT Imposter said, it had to do with Scotch so this huck was for Satan…

When Fred did the turn near the edge, the filmer said that he was already off the intended line… After which Fred made the biggest mistake and banked again for the edge…

Fred more or less said, he tought he would die as he was carrying too much speed to stop. But when he saw that there was snow on the landing, he tought that he’d have to really go for it and try to land on his side to maximize his area.

Freds words from the time it actually happened can be found here (among others):

According to Colin, he bruised his liver, which sounds like something that happens to me after a cheap bottle of Scotch, let alone a 350′ huck. :)

I thought the most impressive chunk of that film was when the helicopter panned over and you saw both the take-off spot and the landing, which seemed like they were in seperate countries. That was a looooong huck! I wish I could understand what he was saying in the video. May Fred Marmsater can translate. Fred, you out there?

I think Jamie Pierre’s previous record was 250ish feet, so this cleared that by about 100′, or 33%. I suppose any sort of “record” gets ambiguous if you start considering intentional jumps (Jamie) versus accidental (Fred). In the accidental realm, people have survived failed parachutes from much higher.

Intentional or not, it is mighty impressive to see the speed and momentary poise that Fred hit this cliff with!
