During filming in the Alps Fred Syvertsen (42) missed his line and skied off an over 100 meter high cliff at high speed. Unbelievably so, it appears to have a happy ending.
During filming in the alps with Thierry Donard og Nuit de la Glisse the Norwegian freeskier veteran Fred Roar Syvertsen (42) missed his planned line. At a speed estimated to have been over 80 km/hr, Fred skied straight off an over 100 meter high cliff. According to sources, the others in the team found Syvertsen after a while buried more than 2.5 meters in the snow, and uncovered him in time if unconfirmed reports are true.
Since Fred missed so much on his line, the camera crews were not prepared that it would happen. Nobody knows for sure if this non-planned jump has been captured on film at least complete, but it is rumored that at least the takeoff was captured. The helicopter pilot has measured the cliff height to approximately 320 feet.
After Syvertsen was dug out he skied on his own down to the helicopter and then he was flown to the hospital. As of now, Fred is under observation at the hospital, but so far the doctors have not found anything wrong on this roughneck. The forever young Syvertsen must have had a large crew of guardian angels looking over him during this Easter week and at the same time he may get the right to claim the world record ski cliff jump – without a parachute or permanent injuries.
