Ow

technically its a new pr frontflip at 58-59ft, but idk if id count it since i overrotated a bit. kind of frustrating. little more prep and im sure ill get it next time

Anyone have an estimate on the height on this one?

This was filmed at Waiale Falls on the big island Hawaii. Kinda looked like 25ish? But idk if it was bigger or smaller. And yes I almost died😭 felt this one throughout the buttocks after😔

Me jumping at Naciemento in Cali. like 20+ years ago.

Not flexing at all here, even though I give people shit when they argue over 10 feet.

So we were at Lake Naciemento, and a cop pulled us over in the boat to make sure we weren't hammered. We were. He asked why we were at this particular spot and we said we wanted to jump off some rocks. The cop said "well you ain't doin' that, we had someone die here last week".

He left and we pulled up to the shore and we climbed this cliff. There was a legit shrine up there that you had to launch over to get enough distance form the cliff. My friend went first (you can see him up top jumping, I'm sitting on the slope behind him)

I broke my tailbone and my lower lumbar. Had to drag me on the boat and the girl I liked saw my nuts that had come out from my shorts which were halfway up my butt.

That's all I got. I'm a big dude and what got me was my size 14 feet hitting the water flat and sending a shockwave up my spins. I jump off roofs into pools but my cliff stuff is DONE.

Did my biggest cliff jump today, wondering how high it actually was

My friends and I estimate that its somewhere around 50ft but we're not really sure

enough with the "how high is this" posts.

buy your self a long tape measure(they make one that goes to 300 feet if your in the US for 30ish, not sure outside of US) and try to find out for yourself first. no one will know for sure how high the cliff you jumped is.

First cliff jump, how high is this?

My first cliff jump in Algarve, Portugal. Can anyone estimate how high this is?

Ears hurt

I have jumped off a few rocks. I do open water lifeguarding and go with lifeguard friends and we always use spotters and stay relatively safe. The issue I keep running into is that when I land feet first the second my head is in the water it feels like the impacts inwards really hard. I have done some free diving up to about 30ft and I know how to equalize and that most days I can go down about 12ft without issues. So I think the pain is coming from how my body hits the water and then comes back in towards me? Is it bc I stick my arms out or land with my feet flat instead of slightly pointed? What is it?

What's the minimum height that could result in serious injuries if someone hits the water wrong?

Curious in part to see what a good distance/height is to practice certain manuevers as well as my own curiosity of what could be considered fatal or seriously almost fatal. I understand this could be very subjective and depends on the scenario but open to hearing everyones thoughts. thanks.
