People are astounded by the insane video of a man shattering the Guinness record for death diving with the world record death dive video of Ken Stornes viral
With 496,000 Instagram followers, Ken Stornes has been labelled “insane” due to his daring videos that have been shared online. Ken seems like he can do anything, like dive into freezing seas or do squats at the top of a mountain. His fantastic (but horrifying) movies of himself conducting death dives have garnered him a substantial online following; most of these appear to have been shot in his home country of Norway.
Norwegian cliff jumper Ken Stornes creates death dive world record, video goes viral
For the veteran of infantry combat, it’s safe to say that his most recent video, which was uploaded to Instagram the day before yesterday, December 3, is the scariest one to date. In order to demonstrate the depth of the fall, Ken is shown in the film standing on a kind of automated ledge and then throwing a large stone. He follows shortly after and dives into the icy waters below.
Ken breaks the death dive record
Then some people arrive to see how Ken is doing in the water. Thanks to Ken’s efforts, the official world record for the highest deep dive was broken, with a measurement of 40.5 meters (132 feet). With a height of 30.5 meters, fellow Norwegian Asbjørg Nesje is the record holder for the highest women’s death dive.
Next to the video, he annotated, “Once again, we take the deathdive world record back to Norway, where it belongs.” “This was insane!” Ken went on. And similar thoughts were echoed by his thousands of followers.

A person commented, “How do you manage to make it through doing this? One guy questioned, “It feels like you’re hitting concrete.” “I truly thought you’d die doing this; his massive nuts must have softened the impact,” a second person laughed. “You accomplished much more than just setting a world record!” exclaimed another. “I never thought in a million years that anything like this could happen in human history! It is a privilege for me to watch your hard sport, sir.”
The overwhelming consensus among those who left comments was shocking, and most people agreed with it. Obviously, a large crew was behind his dive, based on the sheer number of people he mentioned and tagged in the comments section of the video.
Given this, you definitely ought to get help and experience if you’re going to do this alone. Like they say, kids, don’t try this at home.
