Somewhere in the Alps

It was somewhere in the Alps. Actually the jump was a mistake. The skier himself (Fred Syversen) explains the situation here:

Yes, it was an accident. The clip has been shown on Norwegian TV together with an interview with Fred. I do not recommend to beat his record. Definitely, he will not go for it eihter.
