A death dive is the type of entry he did into the water. Hands and feet impact at the same time, and you tuck your head between your arms. It looks scary, and is very bad if done wrong, but supposedly safe otherwise. As much as anything can be safe from this height.
They say that the survivors of attempted suicide off the Golden Gate Bridge survived because they were young and in good shape, and because they used that same or similar position to impact the water.
So they probably hold the record then, no? 103 ft is high but not all that high. I landed preachers chair from about 95 ft in HS. Do not recommend unless you need a cleaning in that area
The fall is 245 ft so I'd say so. Both of the men that they interviewed said they regretted it the second they stepped off the bridge so they purposely adjusted their body in hopes that they wouldn't die.
He landed exactly how you are supposed to when you do a death dive. You break the fall with ur feet and hands, rest of the impact hits your upper body.
It is scary even from only a 10 of the height he did.
This is absolutely in fatal range. I’ve jumped 4 times from 80-100ft high. And many other times at lower heights. Even when you do it perfectly it feels like you’ve been hit by a car at the bottom.
A friend of mine landed in sitting position from 80 ft and we had to carry him out. His legs turned black and purple from the bruising and he was in danger of clots coming from this bruising. He was down for a week and on blood thinning meds and doctors care. I can’t even imagine hitting like this guy in the video. It would totally crush your heart, lungs, destroy your eyes and severely bruise every inch of the front of your body. But I think the ruptured organs, collapsed lungs and smashed heart are what kills you.
Sorry about your friend! Sure it could be in a fatal , but not so much. There are famous jumping cliffs in the Okanagan Valley in B.C. Canada where there are 6 cliffs of varying heights, with the tallest being 105 feet. Multiple kids and adults jumping from there on the daily in the summer months with no issues. They put shoes on and land like a needle in the water. People on boats throw drinks and alcoholic 6 packs in the water so they can take pics/vids! Great summer fun for the most part.
Yea that’s good fun. My point is that if you land right it’s fun. If you don’t it’s a hard hit. I dont think anyone can say a bad landing from that high CANT be fatal. I think it could. Also, most cliffs are shorter than the locals say. So it’s hard to compare to each other.
PS - I love the Okanagan valley. Both sides of the border are beautiful. And Big White is a fun resort for winter fun. You’re lucky to spend some time there.
Goats bluff outside of Nanaimo BC, 3 plaques dedicated to the people that died, lots of other lower safer jumps to do but people still huck off it, I believe it’s over 100 feet, we were hanging out, beers, swimming, chilling and this lil shorty kid, 14 or 15 at best with no warning hucks off and lands amongst us swimming in the water, could have killed any one of us, was wild and crazy stupid……
Also at Thetis lake outside of Vic, young lady jumped off the high point, came down at a very slight off angle and broke her leg, almost drowned, can’t imagine trying to swim with a broken leg…..
Gotta point your toes down, break surface tension, even the slap of flat feet will fuck your shit up for awhile
Hell I jumped 45ft and landed on my ass and couldn't sit for like a week.
I also gave myself PTSD trying to overcome my fear of heights. Can't even get on my roof now 😒
I fell 30 ft from a scaffold, into a handrail, and smashed four vertebrae at the bottom of my spine.
Falls of anything over 10ft are going to hurt, and people can die falling from any height, but those risks increase dramatically above ten feet.
Ive heard water solidifies because it can't be compressed, so hitting water from height is as good as hitting concrete, and i can guarantee, hitting solid objects even from 30 feet can destroy a human body.
Hell no, you would have a greater chance of survival hitting the water than actually hitting concrete. Not sure who ever came up with that stupid myth. People have survived jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. No one has survived hitting concrete at that height.
When my buddy was doing his residency a guy came in that fell 6 stories as a window washer. He landed squarely on his back, broke both shoulder blades in half and was out of the hospital that day. One in a million chance. He said the guy was body builder jacked, so I’m sure that helped.
Golden Gate Bridge is 245 feet 6 stories is about 60-70 feet. At four stories, or about 48 feet above the ground, half will survive. But at seven stories or 84 feet, only 10 percent are expected to live
Lifeguards train to do pier jumps at 30 ft, and even this can hit pretty hard, although they teach you to land in a seated position to make sure you don’t hit bottom. Some of the female guards had black and blue butts and thighs afterwards.
Im not a doctor, but had a pain choke once (when taxi driver smashed my finger when closed his trunk) - first couple of seconds you don't feel anything, just pure reflex to save a life or get rid of the problem, then choke comes and your brain just shutdown yourself (two much pain signals from the receptors) or you still OK, but starts acting strange (suppose it is the time when your brain trying to deal with all this pain information) up until he time all that pain hits you in the face and you, like - WTF! WH-A-A-A-T! THE-E-E F-UUUUUUU\*K!!! is this?
I'm no doctor, but I was thinking maybe shock?
Possibly hit wrong and their heads or chests took an impact that took a couple seconds for the body to process then shock just shuts them down.
I mean it's pure speculation unless someone has a link to an article.
My guess would be how cold the water is sends them into shock, so while it wouldn’t of broken everything they went into shock and then basically drowned.
Why is this downvoted? I've heard about this as well. Cold water can cause instant cramps, or make you inhale as a reflex. Would also explain why there was no scream.
This is a very real thing. One time I jumped off of a dock into glacier runoff water. It was the first time I've been in the area and I was wondering why only a couple of people were jumping in. Once I hit the water my entire body locked up from the cold and I was trying to play it off with a smile as I was struggling not to drown from the shock luckily I got back to the ladder and I played it off like nothing happened.
I’ve front flipped this height, sure as hell will never do it again. But the video looks wrong how they just float up, it can’t be from impact alone. I’ve regularly jumped height and would never imagine this result…
Wtf... Didn't look too high. Horrible if they both died. I have a broken rib from jumping a 40-50 foot trying to do a front flip 360... Coughed blood out of my lungs for 3 days...
Easily high enough to knock your head around enough to make you lose consciousness though. Being unconscious face down in water is not advisable for humans.
Not saying it's what happened, but it's one logical outcome.
Back in like 2010 I saw a gnarly YT video of a guy who was cliff diving but slipped at the last moment and then hit a ledge on the way down face first. His face basically looked like the Predator, face/jaw split multiple ways. He was still alive as the doctors were operating but didn't make it. Ever since then, I have an incredible aversion to cliff diving, and believe every person who undertakes the activity to any extreme is at serious risk of death/debilitating injuries.
There's nothing wrong with jumping into water at a known safe spot at like 35-40 ft. It's scary enough, and fun enough; and you don't have to focus on form so much you can do it over and over again like a kid on a rollercoaster.
Congratulations, you are now officially a Reddit doctor. You can now be addressed as R.Dr. kiverbal.
Also to clarify. Reddit doctor is higher in authority to regular doctors.
The way it looked like he landed, I wouldn't be surprised if he had broken ribs or a punctured lung...
I've seen worse injuries, from shorter distance... Hope the dude is okay.
He landed like that intentionally, that’s what a “death dive” is. They have whole competitions on this stuff. Essentially what he did was push his legs and arms in front to break the surface tension for the rest of his body to get through. It’s like how divers don’t make a spear with their hands, but a flat surface.
Isnt this exactly what Mythbusters busted one episode? Like they couldnt replicate it at all. The surface of water doesnt magically change even when dusturbed. If you created abunch of bubbles like foamy water with some industrial surfactant...then I'd guess surface tension would change...but then you still have the density of water, which wont change, and you are flying through a medium of air then decelerate rapidly once you are in the water. Its not necessarily the impact that has the force, its the deceleration too.
(All a complete guess)
The surface tension of the water can change if it's got a bunch of bubbles at the top. I was a diver and we would do this all the time when trying new dives off the 10m. Basically just get a blower to produce a bunch of air under the surface and it's ALMOST like landing in a foam pit.
None of this has nothing to do with surface tension. The foam might slow you down a bit, reducing the impact with the water. Any foam will do that, and coincidentally, soaps are often used to make foam and happen to reduce surface tension but that last fact doesn’t contribute anything to reducing the impact
for sure, he had a pain choke after this. If he still alive, this is not his achievement - his friends whom took his body out of water and did all the necessary things to keep his life.
If it was like hitting concrete he would 100% die. So i guess it was not like hitting concrete, like hitting water.... infact exactly like hitting water.
I don’t know why so many people say that’s after is exactly like concrete from high up. If you have the right form it’ll probably still hurt, but if you dive with perfect form onto concrete I don’t think you’ll be ok
Sigh no it is not. Not even close to like hitting concrete. The highest dive is 172 feet. Now tell that person to dive 172 feet into concrete and see if they survive.
This idea that it's like hitting concrete is the dumbest thing ever and it's being perpetually stated as fact over and over. How can it be like hitting concrete but if you hit concrete from even 2/3 this distance you would be a puddle on the ground. It's nothing like hitting concrete.
To clarify a bit. Death dive is a sport from norway. Most common Hight this is done from is 10 meters(33ft). The point is to jump like a belly flopp, but contract your arms and legs at the last second to break the water
Well thanks for the info I was just about to comment, he dive wrong and took a good smash against the water. You can definitely hear it from the video. But I guess that’s how you death dive. Not sure why anybody would want to do it. But okay.
not as easily as you may think - the flatter it is, the more dangerous. if you look at the pools that high divers use, there's always a sprinkler, a bubbler, or something to agitate the water for safety reasons.
I’m not sure what you are trying to say regarding displacement, but breaking the tension of the water decreases the impact on said human penetrating the water.
I dove in high school. There are bubblers used for practice to prevent impact while trying new dives, but these are only used occasionally and never in competition. The agitators are always on and don’t break the surface tension enough to make an impact compared to a human and are just used for visibility.
[Death diving is a norwegian sport](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4rrctxmxfU) (called Døds, or Dødsing), where you jump either with arms and legs extended in an X shape until you hit the water (Classic "døds") or freestyling, where you can jump however you like. The point is basically "look like you really fucked up, but save it in the last second".
EDIT: [With English commentary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qnN892umFs)
EDIT 2: [27m World record (timestamped)](https://youtu.be/hakksSTuago?t=315)
You typically pencil in at these heights to mitigate injury. That looked like it hurt. The world record high dive is 192 feet (or rather 58.8 meters) which was effectively just a straight drop with protective equipment on. My favorite though is Dana Kunze's 172 foot dive.
In case you think he died he didn't, the technique they use is basically right when they're about 3-4 feet above the water they basically touch their toes and make their ears touch their shoulders so it's like a normal dive kinda.
He's almost fine he's just roughed up a bit and has a broken wrist I believe
World record? I bet lots of people have dived to their deaths from higher than this.
Lol for real

Waaaaay Beyond
Too soon
Wow dude..too soon
But he did it into a wet sidewalk
It was only wet after he landed.
Bed Bath and Below
Bad one
Record? [Here it is](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4-fq5xbXDM). 25 meters, 2 dead people at once.
The guy in this video fell for over twice the time as those two....
yes, he is. He had very good luck and friends to survive.
Looked like he belly flopped. I expected to see guts explode out of the water.
A death dive is the type of entry he did into the water. Hands and feet impact at the same time, and you tuck your head between your arms. It looks scary, and is very bad if done wrong, but supposedly safe otherwise. As much as anything can be safe from this height.

The fall is 245 ft so I'd say so. Both of the men that they interviewed said they regretted it the second they stepped off the bridge so they purposely adjusted their body in hopes that they wouldn't die.
I'd imagine that's a common response after stepping off. Unfortunately there arent many to interview, so that is speculation.
You think a dude would attempt this dive without knowing what he is doing?
He didn’t look like he knew what he was doing
Well we can only see him fly... so ya cant make a judgement on a deathdive when u cant actually see him break the fall with his hands and feet
Hey, you claimed that he knew what he was doing, not me. I just wrote that it didn’t look like it.
I answer with a resounding and boisterous yes.
He only broke his hand
Which is a miracle considering how he landed lol
He landed exactly how you are supposed to when you do a death dive. You break the fall with ur feet and hands, rest of the impact hits your upper body. It is scary even from only a 10 of the height he did.
Stupid Norwegian kid.
How did they die? It doesn’t seem too high to survive…
This is absolutely in fatal range. I’ve jumped 4 times from 80-100ft high. And many other times at lower heights. Even when you do it perfectly it feels like you’ve been hit by a car at the bottom.

Skaha lake bluffs?
I jumped off a 70ft bridge and landed on my face and it felt like my teeth and eyes were being popped out.
Hell I jumped 45ft and landed on my ass and couldn't sit for like a week. I also gave myself PTSD trying to overcome my fear of heights. Can't even get on my roof now 😒
I fell 30 ft from a scaffold, into a handrail, and smashed four vertebrae at the bottom of my spine.

Florida man here, when we Florida men jump off really tall shit in to the water we always try to jump feet first and never wear a tshirt.
Lifeguards train to do pier jumps at 30 ft, and even this can hit pretty hard, although they teach you to land in a seated position to make sure you don’t hit bottom. Some of the female guards had black and blue butts and thighs afterwards.
Probably break all ribs too.
Was the water poisoned or something here? The first guy starts swimming away before floating
Im not a doctor, but had a pain choke once (when taxi driver smashed my finger when closed his trunk) - first couple of seconds you don't feel anything, just pure reflex to save a life or get rid of the problem, then choke comes and your brain just shutdown yourself (two much pain signals from the receptors) or you still OK, but starts acting strange (suppose it is the time when your brain trying to deal with all this pain information) up until he time all that pain hits you in the face and you, like - WTF! WH-A-A-A-T! THE-E-E F-UUUUUUU\*K!!! is this?
2nd guy was just like “nope I’m dead”
I'm no doctor, but I was thinking maybe shock? Possibly hit wrong and their heads or chests took an impact that took a couple seconds for the body to process then shock just shuts them down. I mean it's pure speculation unless someone has a link to an article.
NSFL
What happened there?
That bridge got an easy double kill.
How? Didnt look that high
My guess would be how cold the water is sends them into shock, so while it wouldn’t of broken everything they went into shock and then basically drowned.
Why is this downvoted? I've heard about this as well. Cold water can cause instant cramps, or make you inhale as a reflex. Would also explain why there was no scream.

Once I hit the water my entire body locked up from the cold and I was trying to play it off with a smile as I was struggling not to drown from the shock luckily I got back to the ladder and I played it off like nothing happened.
But why? It doesn't look nearly as tall as this cliff.
Or it’s a prank/fake
This is pure darwinism
F*ck the dudes genes
I don’t wanna click on that. Is that the video where those two Russians jump one after the other? The second one trying to save the first one?
Yes
I’ve front flipped this height, sure as hell will never do it again. But the video looks wrong how they just float up, it can’t be from impact alone. I’ve regularly jumped height and would never imagine this result…
Wtf... Didn't look too high. Horrible if they both died. I have a broken rib from jumping a 40-50 foot trying to do a front flip 360... Coughed blood out of my lungs for 3 days...
Can you give more details?
That bridge was only about 40 ft high, or about 12 meters. Certainly not high enough to kill you.
Easily high enough to knock your head around enough to make you lose consciousness though. Being unconscious face down in water is not advisable for humans. Not saying it's what happened, but it's one logical outcome.
Did they hit their heads on the concrete
See? Smoking kills.
It’s probably the world record belly flop. Lol
Back in like 2010 I saw a gnarly YT video of a guy who was cliff diving but slipped at the last moment and then hit a ledge on the way down face first.

Ever since then, I have an incredible aversion to cliff diving, and believe every person who undertakes the activity to any extreme is at serious risk of death/debilitating injuries.
I successfully blocked that video out of my mind for a while but dear god now it's back
There's nothing wrong with jumping into water at a known safe spot at like 35-40 ft. It's scary enough, and fun enough; and you don't have to focus on form so much you can do it over and over again like a kid on a rollercoaster.
But was it a death dive
I'm 95% sure by death dive they mean belly flop
yeah, titanic its perfect idea
No way this dude walked away unaffected. At that height it’s like hitting concrete.
A bit beat up and a broken wrist. But he is ok
What a fuckin idiot.
Thats exactly what the doctor said to him when he showed this video after being asked how he broke his wrist.
Oooh I'm like a doctor now.
Congratulations, you are now officially a Reddit doctor. You can now be addressed as R.Dr. kiverbal. Also to clarify. Reddit doctor is higher in authority to regular doctors.
Unnecessary clarification.

Scalpel.

I concur on his behalf
Perchance.
What do I do when my pee pee turns into a dragon?
Have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again?
Yes I’m turned on now what
Why did you guys let him do it? Likes on some social media platform?
ER visit: $2000 Broken wrist: $10,000 Waking up in cold sweats after dreaming of falling: priceless.
I work at a hospital and sometimes we appreciate videos to confirm how fucking stupid some people are
The way it looked like he landed, I wouldn't be surprised if he had broken ribs or a punctured lung... I've seen worse injuries, from shorter distance... Hope the dude is okay.

I remember that episode. They made some super bubbly water.
for sure, he had a pain choke after this. If he still alive, this is not his achievement - his friends whom took his body out of water and did all the necessary things to keep his life.
> A bit beat up and a broken wrist. But he is ok Incorrect. Stupid move but nobody had to take his body from the water.
You don’t land on your stomach
A belly flop like that? His kids (if he has any) will come out with red bellies.
Lol a broken wrist is not ok.
Cannot be good for the brain either
To be fair, if you're doing something like this in the first place, your brain isn't one of your strong suits.
Can we get a pic of his chest? I imagine is one gigantic bruise
Guy in the water: Feet first bro!! Guy jumping: head first?!? Let’s goooooo!!
If it was like hitting concrete he would 100% die. So i guess it was not like hitting concrete, like hitting water.... infact exactly like hitting water.
I don’t know why so many people say that’s after is exactly like concrete from high up. If you have the right form it’ll probably still hurt, but if you dive with perfect form onto concrete I don’t think you’ll be ok
Maybe they mean wet concrete lol.
Yeah, I hit the same from less than half that height and had a mild concussion, and bruising all over including my eye lids. Shits no joke.
My friends dad messed up his back diving from 70 ft up at lake Powell. Water from these heights hurts
Sigh no it is not. Not even close to like hitting concrete. The highest dive is 172 feet. Now tell that person to dive 172 feet into concrete and see if they survive.
World’s longest belly flop.
This idea that it's like hitting concrete is the dumbest thing ever and it's being perpetually stated as fact over and over. How can it be like hitting concrete but if you hit concrete from even 2/3 this distance you would be a puddle on the ground. It's nothing like hitting concrete.
To clarify a bit. Death dive is a sport from norway. Most common Hight this is done from is 10 meters(33ft). The point is to jump like a belly flopp, but contract your arms and legs at the last second to break the water
Interesting! I was wondering why he wasn’t doing that pointing forward thing to reduce the impact
Pointing forward thing? Like a dive
no.... like when you put your hands together over your head and you're like pointed down...
That’s a dive
No no no. Like when you’re going into the water like a spear
Killed it.
That man killed the water.
Oh, you mean the pencil dive. Precisely what I was thinking.
r/woooosh
He means pencil dive. Feet first to minimize impact.
Then spread the legs and move swimsuit to the side for the *Enema Dive*.
1000 way to die
We called that one the Nutcracker when I was a lad.
Well thanks for the info I was just about to comment, he dive wrong and took a good smash against the water. You can definitely hear it from the video. But I guess that’s how you death dive. Not sure why anybody would want to do it. But okay.
>Not sure why anybody would want to do it. But okay. Sounds about right
>he dive wrong and took a good smash against the water That he did chiefindemboys, that he did
This is a sport? Or just a thing people do? Like are there pro competitions?
https://youtu.be/0uH6Ix11Fjw
Now that is the peak male form right there! Love it. Thank you Reddit friend.
"Sport"
Stupidity is not “sport”
Turns out, [it](https://youtu.be/0uH6Ix11Fjw) is
That’s insane
Oh I thought he was just an imbecile going home in a with red belly!
at 103 feet (ca. 31 m) that wouldn't only be a red belly that would be much more if he didn't break the surface tension of the water
How does that not still fuck up your head?
You know what doesn’t compress? A liquid.
Well, it does, just takes a lot more force to do so
True true
Luckily it displaces incredibly easily
not as easily as you may think - the flatter it is, the more dangerous. if you look at the pools that high divers use, there's always a sprinkler, a bubbler, or something to agitate the water for safety reasons.
This has nothing to do with displacement, but with visibility. If the water is still and clear it is hard to see where the surface is
I’m not sure what you are trying to say regarding displacement, but breaking the tension of the water decreases the impact on said human penetrating the water.
I dove in high school. There are bubblers used for practice to prevent impact while trying new dives, but these are only used occasionally and never in competition. The agitators are always on and don’t break the surface tension enough to make an impact compared to a human and are just used for visibility.
You know what explodes? A red liquid inside a skin-bag hitting a non-compressible surface with a lot of kenetic energy.
Is it a death dive because he died or is this called a death dive because you should die from this type of dive?
[Death diving is a norwegian sport](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4rrctxmxfU) (called Døds, or Dødsing), where you jump either with arms and legs extended in an X shape until you hit the water (Classic "døds") or freestyling, where you can jump however you like. The point is basically "look like you really fucked up, but save it in the last second". EDIT: [With English commentary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qnN892umFs) EDIT 2: [27m World record (timestamped)](https://youtu.be/hakksSTuago?t=315)
Humans are weird.
The latter I assume
its to dive with the intention to die yet survive it to make it a reddit post
What a rockstar! 
If you’re going to do that shouldn’t you have a go pro on and better camera personnel? And medical personnel standby.
I’d think the go pro would get destroyed
I mean if you think you could do it better go right ahead.

You typically pencil in at these heights to mitigate injury. That looked like it hurt. The world record high dive is 192 feet (or rather 58.8 meters) which was effectively just a straight drop with protective equipment on. My favorite though is Dana Kunze's 172 foot dive.
well. if you buy a road bike you will be able to go faster than on a mountain bike. but that doesnt really matter if you want to go mountain biking
That’s why it’s a death dive, it’s a type of jump

This ends way too early.
Right? I keep watching and feeling disappointed.

In case you think he died he didn't, the technique they use is basically right when they're about 3-4 feet above the water they basically touch their toes and make their ears touch their shoulders so it's like a normal dive kinda. He's almost fine he's just roughed up a bit and has a broken wrist I believe
For those that don't know what death diving (dødsing) is: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_diving
That's around 31m for rest of the world
Damn. That boy is going home in a poly bag.
Wolrd, Karl.
No no no. Absolutely no.
Not even a rock toss to break up the water a little. Yeesh. It’s the people like this that take away rescue resources away from actual emergencies
I really want to go cliff jumping..
Jeronimooooooo
Those who watch must compete next. These are the death dive rules
My turds have farther to fall
That slap. That goddamn slap. It made me feel the pain💀
The amount of pain of a bellyflop at that hight would fucking hurt worse than actual hell
 This shit is crazy
