“Ties World record, 172 feet” ... If you are going to attempt a jump that high, why wouldn’t you add one more foot and try to beat it?
Valthek
Me: that's not that high. Camera: zooms out. Me: oh, that's a background lake. Am I about to watch someone die?
SmashySashimi
Too damn high.
SaintSleepyWeasel
At human terminal velocity water hits like cement. Jesus how did he not die?
MakeAmericaLateAgain
Yeah they have some jet system frothing up the water to break the surface tension, u could easily still die.
talianagisan
BUBBLES! no literally they were using bubbles to break the surface tension to avoid the impact like that.

UWAGAGABLAGABLAGABA
I wonder if they had water jets like here to break surface tension.
Stephen9000
What in the non-scientific nonsense? Water spray can show the diver where the surface is. Breaking the surface tension to increase safety?
What rot.
WehWehWeh
I mean what are the rules for breaking the record, do you have to do it bones intact?
Apparently, you have to be able to swim out of the water on your own without assistance.
gemhel19
Jesus!
RoscoePSoultrain
I'm pretty sure if he tried it, he'd splatter on the surface of the water.

At that height, water is closer to being cement than a pillow… belly flop could be fatal.
beoff
Which is why he should have landed head-first: his eighties hair spray would have protected his brain.
angryscreechingnoise
well, what was left of his brain after the fumes from 80's hairspray.
AwwYEE
Belly flops are always fatal. Some just take longer to get there.
NotInItForTheUPVOTES
My grandfather died at the age of 95 after sustaining a bellyflop injury in the 5th grade
Oof! Sometimes it's so fast!
areyouelonmusk
Sometimes not fast enough
TheIceHorse
The force of water up the rectum can also cause a colorectal rupture and a lot of internal injuries.
I0VE525P00GE
That’s why he wore the water tight butt plug.
ConfessionBare
Yah, *that's* why.
sodpounder
I think you mean concrete. Cement is a powdery substance made with calcined lime and clay.
I stand corrected
tesseract4d2
They'd probably feel about the same from a 120ft fall though. Ever slapped sand? Finer powders act ever more solid than that.
D1RTYPENGU1N
That’s why the have the hose spraying the water to help break the surface tension. It helps a bit. There is a myth busters on it
GQPisadeathcult
We do it with air bubblers now at sports camps that practice ski jumping in summer into pools.
NicolasKevinMac
Splashing/disturbing the water below a diving board is standard (even for 1m dives) so that the diver can see where the surface is. (1/2)
Perfectly still surface is effectively invisible, and diver doesn't know when to stop spinning. Might also effect surface tension, no idea.
Hibbtygibitty
Water spray is for diver optics, you ninny.
Pikachu shocked face*
I could believe it has an effect. But ultimately, it comes down to the inertia of the water.
kuriosly
It helps alot a bit. But modern bubbler systems do it by forcing air under the pool to break up surface tenson even more.
https://www.natare.com/equipment-systems/spargers-pool-bubblers/
SirBagels
You could aerate the water to help a bit. Like a super big aquarium bubbler. But idk if youd be able to swim out afterwards
You keep the bubbles focused in one location…it’s not hard to get out.
paperfanman
Just hopefully not too much so he doesn’t shoot straight into the bottom
jdbn622718
They could probably switch it off after the diver hits the water.
PerrinAybara564
They use that for training; I've used it before off a 3m board practicing a new dive. Someone turns it on, you dive, they turn it off
That’s… brilliant. Would totally work, and should be able to swim sideways to get out.
That username tho... Was it an impulse pick?
Tigersterne
What's terminal velocity of a vertical person and how long do they have to fall to get there?
ZamboniChief1721
I think its about 120mph and it takes about 4 seconds of free fall to get there. Sky divers feel free to correct it
Atomic2
Thats terminal velocity for someone in a prone position, if you're in a dive it can be as fast as 180mph.
Sentinel76
Tree-fiddy
Distractedlurker
Like 5
Base841
Terminal velocity for belly down ~ 120 mph, vertical ~ 180. Faster w/ more weight, ~ 10 seconds to reach. He fell 174' in 3.5 sec @~ 60mph.
Acquiredtaste
Galileo says: all solids fall the same speed, no matter the weight. But more weight makes a bigger splash.
In a vacuum, yes. Weight-surface area plays a big role in air resistance. Volume increases by the cube, area increases by the square...
So heavier people have less air resistance proportional to their weight and can therefore accelerate to higher top speed.
Awesome, thanks!
? it's nice to find a use for that esoteric knowledge.
And yes, skydive instructor w/ ~5k jumps.
Fuckin love the math for this. Is there any convenient approximation for clothes wind resistance?
Not sure about aprox, but I'm 215 lbs with gear and fall 132 mph with a moderate drag jump suit. I've slowed to 95 with a giant baggy one
