Dare to dive from 27 meters? Impact is like a car crash at 85 kph

I'll still stage dive at shows, but this is a little bit beyond that....maybe a lotta bit. More power to you if you have the cojones to do it.

The story helps putting into perspective shows like La quebrada diving in Mexico as well.

Nope, but I'll watch YOU do it

The impact you have from 27 meters is like a car crash going 85 kilometers per hour.

Really? Choice A ... jump into a pool from 27m. or Choice B..... drive a car into a wall at 85kph?

Pass me my Speedos!

"A couple that plays together stays together." I envy them.

So why do they tease danger, test mortality, and threaten incapacity? Men in competition dive from 27 meters and women from 20. They land feet first. If they were diving in head first, the shoulders, the head and the neck could crumble from the impact.

It's like bowling. It's for the thrill!

I jumped about four meters into a river this past weekend and that was pretty hair raising until I finally got the guts to jump.

In the navy, we had to dive off a mast about 10 m but the ship would be moving from side to side.

Dare to dive from 27 meters?

No.

I put one foot carefully after the other climbing into the bath, with a slow deliberate ahh as body meets the perfumed ska water.

From 27 meters away, or 10 with anything moving from side to side, I will pass on that thought alone.

I once dived from 5 meters at Toshimaen. Not knowing how the art form was supposed to be properly done, instead of going in feet first, I did a chest and belly buster. The whole way home I felt like Hannibal Lecter had sliced me open like he did that sheriff in "Silence of the Lambs." Last time I ever attempted a foolish stunt like that.

Wearing da da ta das I am not suprised he has no worries of diving from 90 feett!

I jumped feet-first from the 10m diving board last summer when I was at the pool with my son. I was scared, but he went first, so I had no choice!

Is it? I think most people would be afraid at 10m. It's particularly high.

I guess you'll have to trust me, as someone whose done it.
