Nope. I'll jump out of a perfectly good airplane. I'll stand on a tall bridge or building or climb a tall tree. I gone off of a 3m board and whichever end hits first feels like it's hitting a board. I don't see myself jumping into water from anything taller than 3m. I guess maybe if someone coached me, I might be willing to start at 3m and work my way up if they could show me how to land so it didn't hurt like hell, but the couple/few times that I've tried anything taller than a regular diving board, the landing has hurt something or several things. |
I figured that anyone watching would click on the enlarge button on the video...if wanted.
|
I would think that hitting the water at a slightly off angle (at that height)...would be very bad.

Sure I could, with a little push lol.
My stomach turns just watching that. Worked at height for years, never lost my healthy respect for it. |
Do they still want the water clear when I'm done or is a brown tint okay?
|
^^^ I would never get out there where someone could give 'a little push' :D
|
I think I might be able to muster up the courage to jump feet first, and I am a bit afraid of heights. not sure.
When I was a teenager, A local swimming lake had a 10M platform in the middle of it which wasnt a huge deal to jump off off. Pretty painful if you land wrong |
If I did...I know where my hands would be....
(not on my head) |
I've done 10 meters but never 20. Oh and I sucked.
|
^^^ Did you ever hit the water at the wrong angle?
or hence the user name? :D |
no..............
|
20 meters, about 60 feet.
I've done 40, maybe 45 feet into a lake. For some reason I'd rather go back to the lake than dive into a pool from that height. |
Oh hell no...
|
^^^ esp not with broken ribs!
|
Again I agree with Dan. Love lake swimming! And like he, I have done 40-45 but not 60. One and a halfs, in fact, but I would likely jump 60 rather than dive it. Gravity acceleration is about 32 ft/sec/sec. From 60 ft you'd be going nearly 60 mph. One more second and things get much more interesting.
|
The only way I would do it...would be tucked into the fetal position and hope to hell that I didn't hit the bottom of the pool.
oh also...holding onto the man sack. |
My natural survival instincts tell me no.

I know none other than holding your breath...and that rarely works for me. |
What? No bikini bottoms???
And, no, I wouldn’t jump off it. |

And jumping in feet first, I remember my feet and junk feeling quite a smack when I hit the water. Nope, nope, nope. |
I have jumped off cliffs or bridges into rivers or lakes from that high. Pretty sure the bridge ones were illegal.
I can't recall how far it was from the flight deck to the water, 85' maybe. They told us feet first, arms crossed across chest, plug your nose, clench your butt cheeks and open your mouth. Not sure I want to know what happens if you miss a step on that checklist. |
The thread title is a trick question.... right?
Snowballs in Hades first :D |

Gotta have someplace for the contents to go..fast. :D |
Clench your butt? pretty sure that would automatic

I'de rather jump out of an airplane with a parachute then 20 meters with nothing but a swimsuit
|
Ah, have you ever watched the Red Bull cliff diving? No, I couldn’t
|
You guys have just reminded me. When I was about 8 us kids would walk along a railway bridge then when the train got close we would jump into the river below. It was pretty exciting stuff. The train roaring towards you with the horn blaring. LOL The difference in time between deciding to jump and the speed of the train; it was just about on top of us as we leapt off the bridge.

but can Molly Carlson do this :

A few years back, when in Acapulco, I saw these guys. Amazing to see how they time their jump with the waves.
