The Norwegian Fred Syvertsen accidentely hits an 320feet high cliff with a speed of 80km/h.. After the drop they find him over 2.5 meter down in the snow.. And then he skis down to the heli..

He did a Jamie Piere. Got buried and ppl had to dig him out then he skied down. I wouldn't count this as landing in my opinion but i don't have the balls to hit something this big either so i can't say shit...

When it comes to cliffs of this size it seems like the only thing that matters is not dying. Still would like to see pics/video. Accidentally hitting a cliff that big seems a little weird.

320ft at 80km/h. Assuming the landing was not flat which i doubt it would be. to be going 80 km/h off the cliff would lead to him going over 400ft away. I seriously doubt this

Yes its in Norwegian, Yes it says the drop was 320ft(100meters), Yes it says that his speed was up to 80 kmh and yes he went the wrong way in his line. They found him buried 2.5meters down in the snow, he skied down to the heli himself and got fled to the hospital and he is still there.

"filminnspilling i alpene med Thierry Donard og Nuit de la Glisse at den norske frikjøringsveteranen Fred Roar Syversen (42) misset sin planlagte kjørelinje. I en fart"

I don't pretend to know Swedish, but I think it's saying something like this:
"While filming in the mountains with Thierry Donard (French filmer) for Nuit de la Glisse, Norwegian freeskiing veteran Freddy missed his intended line.  Then he farted."  Actually, fart means something having to do with speed, but I need a little help with the rest of that text.  Too many crazy looking words.  Any Scandos?  

Should be interesting on film, that's for sure, but who knows what happened with the camera guys when the guy they're shooting hits a 320 footer by mistake.  Hopefully they got a good shot without freaking.

I've got lots of respect for this gut to go huck this, but I've got to point out that the record for ski-jumping is almost 800 ft.

That would be so fucking scary to be skiing what you think is your line of choice and then just have the ground drop out from under you when you're mobbing down. Holy fuck.

it's not easy to ski a technical line exactly as you planned even when you're really familiar with the area. I can't tell you how many times I've gone over a larger cliff than i was planning on hitting, thinking "Shit! I thought the big cliff was on the other side of that tree."

If you're not familiar with the area, skiing a line according to plan gets downright difficult. I'm sure he was positive that he wasn't going to ski off a 300 foot cliff.
