A leap of faith - riding down a 186 foot waterfall in a kayak

Just wow! From the London Daily Mail:
Pictured: The record-breaking kayaker who risked life and limb in a 186ft waterfall drop

Perched on the brink of a 186ft drop, this was the moment when Tyler Bradt probably felt the urge to start frantically paddling backwards.

Less than four seconds later, he was celebrating a world record for kayak descents.

The 22-year-old American touched 100mph as he plummeted over Palouse Falls in eastern Washington.

So, when does it stop being kayaking and start being base jumping in a little plastic shell?
