Do you believe it this time? The web site is in German, but it basically says that Felix Lämmler ran a not-quite-vertical 42 meter waterfall in Tessin (Switzerland).

See (in German):
kajak.at/215/1/22376/neuer_Rekord.html
or the google translation:
translate.google.com/translate?langpair=...76/neuer_Rekord.html

Earlier this year is was 34 meters vertical, but it looked like nobody in the forum believed it:

Any reactions to this new world record???

OH MY GOD! THE PHANTOM OF THE ALPS HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!!!

Sigh...

I'm sure there will be some video of...him...doing it soon.

I'll be suprised if it's any better quality than the last couple.

Ahh well, no point in being skeptical might as well wait and see eh guys.
