Nastia then Jordyn in SEALS reality Show

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...

Jumping into water

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.

I know i watched a cliff diving competition (red bull?) and the interesting thing is that they went in feet first. And had a couple of rescue divers in the water, right there cuz you might actually die.

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.

Jordyn struggled with panic attacks last week but is still in the show. It's on again tonight, around 8:15pm EST.

Three people are already out, Denise Richards and Stephen Baldwin withdrew. Ali Manno broke her finger or did something to her finger and was medically withdrawn.

I can’t believe I am watching this but I am. Rooting for Jordyn all the way.

Jordyn gives up and is out. Ah well.

Did Jordyn say why? Is she pregnant during filming of this show?

She panicked. The fact that the challenges were water based seemed to terrify her.

No she’s not pregnant, they filmed this last summer. She had a panic attack during two different water activities they did on days one and two (last week) so then tonight on day three as soon as they drove up and she saw it was another water challenge she started melting down. The challenge was they had to swim down and get a box out of a small sinking boat and then swim to the surface with it. When it was her turn to go she said she couldn’t do it, withdrew from the competition without attempting it, and left.

Someone else withdrew like an hour before Jordyn just from having to wake up (I forget who, some bachelorette.) Then Jordyn looked at water and quit. Then after the water challenge they all had to fist fight each other: Marion Jones broke her ribs and an Olympic swimmer broke his nose in the fights and both were medically withdrawn. The next morning another guy was medically withdrawn for fracturing his ribs.

So four days in and four people have withdrawn and four people have been injured out. At least Jordyn left before she had to get punched in the face.
