TGR prolly wont release the clip cuz they want everyone to buy their 2006 release, which is understandable.

JP fell off a 245-foot cliff and survived - good for him
a few years ago a rock climber fell 500-feet into snow and walked away!
Charlie Fowler fell 500 feet down the Diamond into a snow hole ... shouldn't that be the 'record'
JP's "attempt" was noteworthy and sick, but he did not land it or ski away from it...therefore it does not count -
try again JP, this time don't land head first!
as to the physics of it -
Starting with the 4 sec. instead of the 245ft. number:
4sec * 9.8m/s/s = 39.2m/s
Which (if my math is correct) works out to 141.12km/hr, or 87.63mi/hr.
That's the lazy way to calculate it; they didn't say how far out from the cliff he landed or what his lateral velocity was, so calculating the parabola and a more accurate vertical velocity isn't as easy. I suppose you could use the 4 seconds AND the height to calculate that though... I'll leave it for someone else. ;)
I'll leave the calculation for how fast he decelerated to someone else. 6ft. of powder on top of a lot more snow would lessen the impact considerably.
[edit] Yeah, yeah. Wind resistance too. :)

Think about this one...if you had a gun to your head which would you rather do?
Chads gap with a sun crusted bomb holed landing and scetchy rock salted in run....
Or -- 245-feet of blind take off, 4 seconds of crapping yourself to bombhole and possible death
I think i would take Chads --- a hospital trip and some busted knees and bones are better than death

Clipping your feet on Chads worse than falling out of the sky to a dead stop??? You must be joking.....

You're math is correct, and the lazy way to calculate the hang time is also the correct way (aside from the air resistance bit). It doesn't matter if there is any horizontal movement, the hangtime will be the same if he jumped out 30 feet or dropped straight down.

Agreed, but your are forgetting to include (im not sure if he will reach it) but if he doesm terminal velocity

Everyone who says all jamie pierre has is big balls is foolish hes been scoping this cliff for a long while and usually tries to land in a special way to spread out his body weight over a distance.(i guess he didnt do that this time though) but he still needs big balls too though. And hes probbably pretty strong.

no he is not wrong, taner went from about 50 mph to -5mph in about 0.0005 seconds it will take jammie piere about 0.25 seconds to stop or go from 75mph to 0 mph the force necesary to provide this change in momentum is greter for tanner then for jammie.

Tanner was still going pretty fast after he hit Chad's so he'd still be going like 15 mph and not -5... If that's even possible?

Well if acceleration due to gravity is 10meters per second that means that he was going about 41 meters/second on impact about 92 mph, most people in a car crash dont survive at that speed this guy is fucking superhuman

"o and he actually landed headfirst into the snow apparently and blew a six foot deep hole into the powder....and he came out with just a cut lip."
well infact i herd he got up skied down to everyone and then started seizuring. thats pretty fucked up.
