Strong is perhaps not the only feature: flexibility and resilience (return to position after impact without suffering permanent damage) may be an issue.

Perhaps I have a good hint: how strong are your bones? I do not think you would need anything stronger than that. Shawn Baker goes the other way around with his stunts: he drops the kayak along awaterfall. If the kayak comes out of the trial, than he can do it too..
