My mom was a competitive diver when she was young and probably could have done any of those dives but she stuck to diving boards and pools. I never had the talent or the courage, a couple of bad landings really cured me of the desire.
When I was about 14, I went rock climbing at Taylor’s Falls on the St. Croix river, (MN/WI border), and a teenager died from a miscalculated cliff dive. We stood there and watched them pull him out of the water, he had a hole in his head the size of a softball. Made a lasting impression.
