Leap of Faith

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Leap of Faith was considered to be the highest and heaviest gap in the world. It was located in Point Loma High School (2335 Chatsworth San Diego CA). You jumped about 6 meters (18 ft, 8 ') over a banister (corresponds to 27 steps). The staircase was redesigned in 2002 to prevent further accidents.

So far, only one skateboarder, Jamie Thomas , is said to have survived the Leap of Faith without broken bones (seen on the first Zero skateboard video “Thrill Of It All” from 1997). The success of his jump, however, is rated differently: Thomas' skateboard broke on landing, which is why some consider the jump to be unsuccessful.
