Nastia then Jordyn in SEALS reality Show

[Matilda23]

Didn’t Beth Tweddle need spinal surgery after a reality TV show?

 

[KorbutFan]

I watched it when Nastia was on and frankly it looked crazy. Dangerous

Well it is based on the SAS.

Yep, that was The Jump (ski-jumping) and she wasn't the only one to get hurt.

Well it is based on the SAS.

Its one thing to do these exercises in the context of, and in the interest of, real military training and national defense. But for some stupid reality show?

I’m amazed they didn’t have to sign a waiver

Louis Smith proved more adept than Beth at the ski jump, clearing 18.05 metres* in the final of series four to claim second place overall.

*The current men's world record is 253.5 metres.

I stood at the top of the ski jump used for the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics and said "this is absolutely fucking nuts." No way I'd ever go down one of those.

Also, I've only ever been on cross country skis.

I visited Lillehammer last summer, stood at the top of the 1994 one, and said almost exactly the same thing.

Yup. Stood on top of the 10 m diving platform my junior year of high school. Was like HELLLLLLL NO.
Jumped off into a pencil dive (feet first). My feet stung so bad, there was no way I was going to be doing ANYTHING off there. Coach said "Oh just a simple front dive."
NOPPPPPE.

I have a real head for heights. I love things like that. No idea why I chose RG

 

[dweiss324]

I aggravated my shoulder diving off a 3 m springboard last summer. 10m is insane. So is ski jumping and aerial. No thank you

 

[Hatsumomo]

I'm not fond of heights but I do want to jump off a 10m diving platform just to see if I can.

Let us know how that goes.

I'd have to find one first; the few aquatic centers with diving platforms don't have a 10m one.
