With enough height even an impact with the water's surface tension can kill (long ago this was used for murder by a dictatorship in Argentina, to leave no corpse, hence no evidence)
You *might* survive. That's how one Golden Gate jumper did. But it's very difficult to pull off, and even then he suffered many broken bones and internal injuries.
In fact, if I'm not mistaken, the ONLY individuals to ever have survived jumping into water from such a height (200+ feet) were all people who went in feet first. There has never been anyone known to have survived impacting the water in any other posture.
Or you forget it's real life and break both your legs but don't feel pain because the supercomputer couldn't handle all the world catastrophies and we all glitch out of existence
I think for water that's only one block deep how it worked was you would take damage normally, but could negate it if you held jump when landing in the water (holding jump makes you "swim upward", presumably just barely enough to avoid hitting the blocks under the water).
I remember the bad old days where it required at least 2 blocks to stop fall damage, and if you got unlucky with the server tick rate then you could die anyway. Now people can stop cold in a damn berry Bush sapling.
Can’t tell you how many urges I get to jump like this. I take the train most days and I get the urge to jump on the tracks. I watched a Vsauce saying it’s common but I still find it uncomfortable
Chinese student in my hometown (eastern Europe) jumped from a moving train in a mound of snow thinking it was safe, hit his head on a milestone and died on the spot.
At least his last thoughts were something like "WOOOO FUCK YEAAAA". Most of us won't die that happy. We probably won't die looking as stupid either, but still, whats that compared to a happy ending
I think his last thought were about the train he thought he missed because he boarded the wrong train (he was on the right train, which makes it more tragic).
I have a pretty serious dislike of heights, but once I'm up there I just want to jump off and no longer be afraid. Of course, after a short span of time, won't be afraid of anything ever again.
I knew a dude so afraid of heights he would black out and go limp jumping off a diving board. We were in some training in the Marines and one of the easiest requirements was to jump off a tower into the deep end. This is to make sure you can do it off a helicopter into the ocean later.
Anyways, dude would be frozen on the edge and we’d practically have to push him (nobody pushed him though). Once he mustered the courage to jump you’d just see all his limbs flailing as his whole body go limp on the way down. Then he’d come-to at the bottom of the pool and swim up.
He had to be dropped from the course and it was a shame because he was otherwise and absolute stud at everything else and a nice guy too.
Not if I use timing, momentum, and physics to jump like a diver and precisely curve my body like a U right after water impact. Effectively shooting back out of the pool.
Its not even the bottom of the pool that’ll kill you. Its the water itself. See little science lesson here, I can’t remember if its physics or fluid dynamics or both but basically water isn’t very compressible, so when you throw yourself off the building aiming for the water, you will most likely reach human terminal velocity before you turn into tomato puree at the bottom, this’ll have the opposite intended effect of what you think is going to happen.
You assume the water is going to lovingly envelop you in a cushioning embrace as it arrests all your velocity and saves you.
When in fact, everyone will see some dumbass throw himself out his bedroom window, reach terminal velocity, and turn into chunky salsa as he hits the water. Why? Because water when hit at sufficient speed, may as well be concrete. Because it’s not very compressible.
There will be internal organ damage. All of them. Not so much meat chunks on the outside, as much as it would be a sack of potatoes turning into mashed potatoe.
Yeah, I’m adding this just in case someone takes the fall damge joke seriously.
Falling into water at this height will almost certainly result in death unless you’re a professional high diver.
I could be WAY off base here, but if memory serves, those *really* high jumps into a pool of water like this seem to always involve a constant spray of water “to break up the surface tension.”
But like I said: I might be 100% wrong about that being the case as it’s also possible they do that solely to make it easier for the diver to gauge exactly where the surface is…
Nah, some People have dived from insanely high, higher than this. But the water is a lot deeper and they use jets to break the surface tension ahead of the diver hitting the water
This was the comment I was looking for. I know the other comments are made in jest, but I need at least one comment taking it seriously or my anxiety goes nuts.
I did a quick search and you have to fall about 450m in order for a human to reach terminal velocity. The photo we see here was taken from what seems to be a 10 story building which are usually around 30m tall.
There is a Red Bull event where some people jump down in the water from a 50m distance and AS LONG AS THEY HIT THE WATER RIGHT, nobody gets hurt doing so.
So someone who knows how to dive would definitely survive this plunge... until they hit the bottom of that pool some 0.5 seconds later at which point they dead. Unless the pool is 30m deep in which case someone literally designed this place for extreme diving (spoilers; there is no way this pool is 30m deep)
You have to cut through the water like a knife. I'm sure there should be a shoe shape that can act as a water knife from super high distances but I don't know if they make them.
Are you thinking "They should really put a yield sign at that intersection, maybe a red/yellow flashing light at the very least" then yes we are definitely thinking the same.

Don't worry, water negates fall damage. You now have a shortcut to the ground!
Oh it's a shortcut to the ground no doubt. 6ft underground to be precise.
At least they won’t have a dig a hole

The concrete slows your momentum upon impact so you probably won't go that far under
Well that’s a relief.
With enough height even an impact with the water's surface tension can kill (long ago this was used for murder by a dictatorship in Argentina, to leave no corpse, hence no evidence)
Correct. At heights of about 200 feet (such as the Golden Gate Bridge,) impact with water is fatal 97% of the time.
All I see is a 3% chance of being a badass
3% To be boneless
Deboned on impact, become %100 marrow jelly
Suicide is bad ass
What if you try to make your body as straight as possible so that you impact feet first and slice through the water like a knife?
You *might* survive. That's how one Golden Gate jumper did. But it's very difficult to pull off, and even then he suffered many broken bones and internal injuries. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, the ONLY individuals to ever have survived jumping into water from such a height (200+ feet) were all people who went in feet first. There has never been anyone known to have survived impacting the water in any other posture.
Plus the water has to be deep enough to even possibly pull it off. Too shallow and you smack the bottom going in
That pool is probably not deep enough for the water to do much good.
At that height the impact would basically be the same as landing on concrete
Definitely the depth of the pool
Or half way down he will be teleported back to the top because the distance was too great
Or he'll just keep falling under the map because you were never supposed to fall down
Or his character will reset midway and all his joints will be deleted
Or you get kicked from the server for flying :(
Or you forget it's real life and break both your legs but don't feel pain because the supercomputer couldn't handle all the world catastrophies and we all glitch out of existence
That’s gonna be a problem if he hits mainland Australia. Hope he makes it out through an ocean to negate the kill floor on the other side
*kyle crane screaming*
If only it were a hard ass metal car roof to completely negate fall damage somehow

If Minecraft has taught me anything.. there's a Creeper right behind you.
Bring a bucket just to be sure
You really shouldn’t attempt it without holding an open parasol.

Lol had the same thought.
It works in Minecraft...
Your friend placed blue glass there Bad ending
Or what happened to me yesterday, I forgot I had frost walker boots on...
Not if you play an old enough version.
I think for water that's only one block deep how it worked was you would take damage normally, but could negate it if you held jump when landing in the water (holding jump makes you "swim upward", presumably just barely enough to avoid hitting the blocks under the water).
I carry my own water in a bucket. Gotta be quick though!

The last thing on his mind was milestone...literally.
It’s called “call of the void”. It’s a psychological phenomena.
Your moms a psychological phenomena... I mean a void... I mean.. You have a phenomenal mother
Explains why I want to jump down the middle opening of the stairs on the top of my third floor apartments
3rd floor isn't too high, just tuck and roll when you hit the bottom!
Yo moms a hoe

At least it makes you question your brain, which i believe is a possitive thing.
In that case, yes. When you're on a cruise ship balcony at 3am and you just feel the overwhelming urge to swan dive off the side - not so much.
I've heard of it as intrusive thoughts. It's your brains way of making you aware of the danger and to be more careful.
I have a pretty serious dislike of heights, but once I'm up there I just want to jump off and no longer be afraid. Of course, after a short span of time, won't be afraid of anything ever again.

Sounds like "the call of the void"

I played enough computer games to say that’s a save jump and u will survive.
HolUp this game is bugged. My character takes fall damage
Welcome to Dark Souls or Bloodborne.
You die before touching the ground
And inflatable duck renders while you are falling, you land on it and since it's part of the map you take fall damage and die. **The Bad Ending**
Yeah, you have a nice view from your room!
That you'd splatter on the pavement next to the pool ? Yea, I thought that too.
From that height there's a decent chance you'd splatter on the pool.
You'd bounce off the surface of the pool.
You'd turn into dye
Not if I use timing, momentum, and physics to jump like a diver and precisely curve my body like a U right after water impact. Effectively shooting back out of the pool.
"if I try to go head-first, it won't matter where I land" is what I was thinking lol
Going back inside, grab a beer from the fridge, sit on the couch and watch the full LOTR trilogy in directors cut? Hell Yeah !

You are correct.
Even if you are one you will still become one with the floor of the pool.
Nah, some People have dived from insanely high, higher than this. But the water is a lot deeper and they use jets to break the surface tension ahead of the diver hitting the water

It is even more dangerous than at this hight. At this point, water gets harder than concrete
I don't think in the case of a human at terminal velocity water or concrete makes much if a difference.
Harder than concrete?
Are you thinking "They should really put a yield sign at that intersection, maybe a red/yellow flashing light at the very least" then yes we are definitely thinking the same.
This gives off many British-guy-in-Spain vibes
