Backflip Off A Giant Iceberg

No surprise. Molly started as a gymnast before switching to Diving.

Champion Cliff Diver Molly Carlson becomes the first woman to dive from an iceberg in a world-first adventure.

Partnering with legendary ice climber Will Gadd, Molly trained for months ahead of the dive and learnt new skills for the challenge, including ice climbing and cold water training, before heading to the Newfoundland coast in search of the perfect free floating iceberg.

I was actually more worried for Will, as the iceberg starts to collapse while he is rappelling off.
