Earlier this month, Ken Stornes, a former Norwegian MMA fighter-turned-extreme athlete, plunged into the icy waters of Nordfjord from a platform on the side of a tall cliff, breaking the record for death diving. Invented by guitar player Erling Bruno Hovden at Frognerbadet during the summer of 1972, death diving or “Dodsing” is a form of extreme freestyle high diving with stretched arms and belly first. Jumps are usually performed from a platform positioned between 10 to 15 m above the water, but the bravest of death divers plunge from much higher, with the current record in the men’s classic category sitting at 40.5 m.
