Replying to World Record Cliff Drops

This might be my complete and total ignorance towards the big mountain scene since I rarely get to ski it. But is a world record cliff drop THAT impressive. To me it doens't look like it takes skill looks like it just takes a ton of balls. I mean from waht I can see they fall 200 ft with dins at 14 land on their backs and just stand up and ski away. Doesn't seem that great, but please tell me if I am wrong here because I really don't know.
