An Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim player has managed to survive a jump from an absurd height. The vast open world of Skyrim is home to many hazards that aim to slow gamers from completing Bethesda’s iconic RPG, with fall damage being one of the more irritating aspects of the game.

The print may not be useful in the real world, but it certainly shows the dedication players have to the game.
