AEW’s Darby Allin ‘slips and falls’ off 92 foot waterfall as daredevil stunt takes terrifying turn-Alistair McGeorge-Entertainment – Metro

All Elite Wrestling star Darby Allin is known for his wild daredevil antics in the name of entertainment – and his latest stunt takes that to the next level.

The 29-year-old wrestler – who will face Jay Lethal on tonight’s third anniversary edition of AEW Dynamite – shared a video over the weekend as he slipped on top of a 92 foot waterfall and plunged into the water below.

In the clip shared on his social media accounts, Allin can be seen perched on a rock at the top of Abiqua Falls in Oregon before appearing to lose his footing and slipping onto his backside.

From there, the former TNT Champion launches himself off the rocks and falls the height of the waterfall, with a loud – and painful – sound coming as he hits the water.

Posting the video on Twitter, he wrote: ‘Slip and fall off a 92 foot waterfall.’

Darby seems to be OK after the terrifying moment, and there’s definitely a chance the initial stumble was simply part of a planned leap of faith.

Of course, the fact he chose to jump almost 100 feet doesn’t make it any less of a feat, and fans have come to expect nothing less from the star.

Back in August, the thrill-seeker took on what he described as his ‘sketchiest’ stunt to date as he decided to drive a jeep up a ramp, and hit a 96 foot jump over his house into a pile of trailers.

In a very nail-biting moment, the back right tire of the jeep clipped the side of the roof, making things incredibly tense as the vehicle headed for the landing.

Darby grew up a huge fan of Jackass – who have their own history with wrestling – and AEW gives him a chance to combine his passions, including his love for skateboarding.

‘All the years of falling off a skateboard on concrete got me ready because that ring ain’t s**t compared to concrete,’ he exclusively told Metro.co.uk. ‘What’s scary to somebody else is a walk in the park for me. My tolerance for fear is very, very, very high.’

AEW Dynamite airs Wednesday nights at 1am on Fite TV.
