I give him a 10 just for standing on that tiny cutting board
-
I gave him a 10 just for looking down.
-
I’m laying down in my comfy bed watching this and I still got nervous and weak in the knees when I saw the height he was at looking down. This is bravery at its finest.
-
This guy is the bravest on the planet. It actually made me nervous on how freaking high that platform was. Geez he has serious guts to do a dive like that.
-
The guy that gave him the low score should have to dive next.
-
He also got the record for tallest ladder climb while wearing a speedo.
-
I think what’s pretty wild about this too is that he went backwards. Anyone that has done a backflip or backwards dive knows that feeling of jumping off something without being able to see where you are going. Now I cant even fathom doing that from almost 200 feet high.
-
It's amazing how much more genuine people sounded back then.
-
guy: risking his life some guy: 6/7
-
Forget the dive, he climbed that thing without a harness
-
Top respect. He climbed up that insanely high and rocking ladder. Then didnt simply jump off or dive head first, he dived off backwards. Seriously WTF. This man has no fear. Laso's world record should be a different category for a jump NOT a dive, let alone a backflip. The judge giving a low score should be sent up the ladder to give it a crack himself.

Born and raised in San Diego. 1980s and 90s were an incredible time to be there. Tony Gywn, original Sea World, the famous zoo., being able to find beach parking within minutes all week long. And yes wild record breaking dudes like Mr. Winters. This video was great. Cheers from West Virginia!

I remember this dive and I think they asked him if this would be his last dive and he said "only if I miss the pool".
-
Imagine seeing some maniac risk his life and you're like: "eh, a 6.5 I guess"
-
Even if he had changed his mind and climbed down again, he still would have deserved an applause - that height is INSANE!
-
Legend has it he's been singing soprano ever since.
-
“The ladder is as stable as it’s ever been for all the nine years…” The implication for the first year’s ladder stability is frightening
-
Wow, record breaking dive, let’s give him a 6.5
-
I like how after a few moments the camera cuts to the crowd since they were afraid a floating body wouldn't be a nice image on television.

Dude.... Just to survive that dive is enough in my book!!! Insanity... Who says superman isnt real.... Should have scored him 10 across the board!
