In a remarkable feat of daring, 22-year-old Côme Girardot has set a new world record in "death diving" by jumping off a 145.34-foot (44.3-meter) cliff at the La Cimbarrilla waterfall in central Spain. Death diving, a high-adrenaline sport, involves jumpers launching themselves horizontally into the air before tucking their bodies at the last moment to ensure their hands and feet make contact with the water simultaneously. Girardot's dive surpassed the previous record of 136.81 feet (41.7 meters), marking a significant milestone in the sport's history. Reflecting on the experience, Girardot said, "The hardest thing is always overcoming the mental barrier at the start. In the jump, the airtime was way bigger than I expected, and I experienced my biggest adrenaline rush ever."
