Aussie daredevil left with horrific injuries after attempting record-breaking death dive

A young adrenaline junkie was left with horrific injuries after attempting a world record death dive off a 140-foot Australian waterfall.

Vali Graham, 21, suffered a fractured spine, sternum, skull, and burst eardrum after he jumped from the top of Minnehaha Falls in the Blue Mountains, a scenic region west of Sydney in New South Wales, news.com.au reported.

Footage captured Graham free-falling from the top of the waterfall before slamming into a waterhole below, knocking himself unconscious when he landed in a pike position.

Death diving is an extreme sport where daredevils leap from significant heights into a body of water. Divers do a controlled belly flop before closing in a tuck position.

The Newcastle native was rushed to the hospital and underwent emergency surgeries, according to local media.

The world record for the tallest dive, just shy of 137-feet, is currently held by Swiss diver Lucien Charlon.

The Australian death diver thanked God on social media for his speedy recovery.

“Update: ‘God gives us the gift of suffering’ after sending this monster 42.5m cliff, I was knocked unconscious,” he said.

Amazingly, after regaining consciousness, Graham was able to pull himself out of the water and walk back to a car where his friends took him to a hospital, according to news.com.au.
