 On April 24, 2024, Japanese ski jumper Ryōyū Kobayashi stunned the world by launching himself 291 meters (955 feet) off a custom-built ski flying hill in Iceland, setting a new unofficial world record.  This feat eclipsed the previous official record of 254.5 meters (835 feet) set by Domen Prevc in Slovenia just weeks earlier.  These jumps are not just athletic achievements—they are moments of human flight, precision, and courage.

FICOR Score

(Fatality & Injury Classification of Risk)

Discipline : Ski Distance Jumping

FICOR score is based on XDGE's proprietary scoring system

Minimum score to be considered for XDGE is 50, and the maximum is 100. This FICOR score is based on available data combined with XDGE's proprietary scoring system which weights several factors based on importance, including: insurance risk scores for the particular activity being evaluated, reaction time available as an adverse event unfolds, speed, height, depth, technical difficulty, ability to mitigate risk during activity, availability of backup equipment, involvment of other participants, location of activity, mental focus required, outcome resulting of most mishaps such as death or hospitalization, and a determination of the likelihood of having a major accident if that sport is done frequently.
