A video of the jump, shared online by Red Bull, shows Schaller's jump from multiple perspectives, including a first-person view from his helmet camera.
The video shows how Italy's leaning tower of Pisa could fit between Schaller's jumping point and the surface of the water.
Schaller's team aerated the water to cushion his impact, but the daredevil overshot his mark and landed in the harder water close to the center of the pool.
The stunt left Schaller with a slightly dislocated right hip, but he emerged from the water smiling.
The previous world record for cliff diving was a distance of 177 feet, set by Olivier Favre in 1987.
