I can't imagine missing any dive coming off 10 m.
People don't realize how deadly it can be.

I've done a magnificent swan dive down a Google rabbit hole...

Two questions: Assuming you dive head first or fall straight with your legs first, what is the maximal height you can jump into water from and not get hurt? In other words, an H meter fall into wa...

Fascinating stuff. Thanks for the physics viewpoint.

I did diving for a year because so many people in my trampolining club were enjoying it. I pencil jumped off the 5 m (highest platform we had) but was scared every time. I never managed to make myself do a forward dive off the 3 m board even though I quite enjoyed doing it from the 1 m.

I only ever did 1 meter. I have astigmatism and walking an hurdling on the 3m board was impossible with the water shimmering below. I got bad vertigo, so stuck to 1m. Kinda eliminated my chances at college but oh well!

Wait, can someone please explain what "lost my leg" means???

Rich, I thought you had two functioning legs.

@Denn
"lost a leg" means when flipping, (I was in tuck position) my right hand slid off my leg so I was not able to pull enough to get the proper rotation and crashed the dive.

Molly Carlson has a great Instagram with lots of info about it all…it’s all nuts. Her long time boyfriend also dives for the uk (she’s canadian) and the men go from 27m!!!!!

I did the 40 foot rope drop into a river once. I can’t imagine even doing that again.
