Dusty Friesen sent his jet boat "Dent" over Alberta's 39-foot Lundbreck Falls on May 25, saying the stunt set a record for the highest naturally flowing waterfall jumped in a jet boat.
Friesen said he studied water levels and jagged rocks at the lip, changed his line after scouting the falls, and stationed personnel below to keep swimmers and paddlers clear.
Friesen and the boat came through unhurt, but the jump triggered an investigation by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and conservation officers; he says he found no rule banning it.
Guinness World Records reportedly does not track the category, leaving the claim unofficial even as video of the jump spread widely online.
Friesen said he is already eyeing a bigger attempt at Niagara Falls, framing the Lundbreck jump as a step toward an even riskier stunt.
