Tyler Bradt brought the waterfall record out of South America and back to the U.S.A. when he dropped a 186-foot waterfall in Washington. He rolled up at the bottom with a broken paddle and the wind knocked out of him, but he and the barrel kayak he took over the falls were fine. The previous record of a 127-foot fall only stood about a month at a half. If this rate continues, we’ll be at a 2500-foot drop by the end of summer.
