What's the greatest height you've gone into water from?

[Louie Detroit]

Diving, jumping, falling, crashing, whatever.

I did the high dive at Windemere Park a couple of times, probably ten feet or so. Scared the shit out of me.

[Big bob]

Swam in Denver before so a mile or so. :rofl:

[JRD77VET]

In my late teens and early 20's, probably about 25' at a quarry.

A friend of a friend told me about a bridge you could jump off of my Lake Wallenpulpac ( in the Poconos ) and he said it was "about" 50' with safe jumping lines painted on the bridge.

We went there and sure enough, all kinds of people jumping off the bridge. It sure looked more than 50' to me.

Got the 100' tape measure out of my car and guess what, it was 80' to the water.

I just "noped" myself out of there. :leaving:

I hope you didn't make a personal contribution to the Coors beer water supply.

[Burro (He/Haw)]

I've never jumped off anything high but I'm a good swimmer.

[Murray]

Fell 35 ft onto concrete

Jumped 30 ft into water.

Different days

Slow learner?:confused5:

[slewfoot]

I fell off the top of my roof back in July and hit the second roof below. I was sweating and bleeding. Does that count?

[Murray]

Slow learner?:confused5:

I learned after the first time concrete hurts…. A lot.

Water is way more forgiving :yesnod:

The company I worked for built a big ropes course or something for 'team building'. We had to do the fall backwards and hope the suckers you work with would catch your fall...a bunch of BS lol Another thing was to climb a pole maybe 20' or so tall. Then you had to turn around on top of the thing and face a different direction. They had you all harnessed in and I can't remember who controlled the rope lines to kinda' keep you steady. Then you had to jump off the thing and they would slowly lower you down. I was only 25 and nothing scared me then. I sure wouldn't do it now at my age!

[Big bob]

I jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge feet first.

I see where you got your name from.:leaving:

[Learpilot]

I jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge feet first.

It had to have been head first

I guess you figured that water was softer. Tough way to learn. Canucks. :spdchk:

[Anjdog2003]

I dropped about 20+ ft from a wave body surfing rolled into the white water.

[Nox]

Maybe 30 or 35 feet.. a bunch of times into water from a helicopter on multiple occasions.

[Aerovette]

Probably 35-40 feet. I remember wondering on the way down (eyes closed) when the hell I was finally going to hit the water.

[TripleBlack]

35' or so of a cliff near the dam at Lake Tenkiller in Oklahoma. That was circa 1978. Since then about 3 feet off the edge of my pool.

[JetMechZ16]

Once I hit adult hood my height hasn't changed. So 5'11" is it.

[Don Rickles]

Here's some dude from London jumping of a cliff in Croatia. Then another guy from Jordan from a higher cliff. I kept my ass on the boat!:yesnod:

Land, fell 22' at a construction site landed on my feet then went sideways and hit my let side, broke a bunch of bones including compression fracturing a few vertebrae. Spent 3 weeks in hospital. I was 31 at the time and in good shape. Fall immediately shortened me a inch.

Water, I at about age 16 went often to a big public pool in the Albany area and regularly used a 15' diving board. That for distance or perhaps the board at Naval boot camp at Great Lakes. If I remember right it was about 15' or higher and it was part of passing the swimming part of the requirements!

[Mick]

In college there was a closed quarry not too far away. We went a few times and jumped off some pretty high stuff. I went off the "second highest" point once, about 50 feet I would guess. It scared the shit out of me. Some of my fraternity brothers jumped off the highest point, we were guessing about 80 feet, I passed.

The next time I went off a 3 meter diving board, it looked like nothing!

[Tikiman]

10 meter platform at Penn State.

[sublime1996525]

About 33 feet. Jumped off the Olympic high dive platform in Kuwait lol.

[CurtP]

Around 30' while wearing a kapok into the Adriatic. Nothing like having rifles pointed at you while treading water.

[Jughead]

3M diving board

Was that at the waterslide in Houston?

[Onebadcad]

As a young teen I would go to the SHOF on FTL Beach, they closed the 10-meter on the tower, but you could go to the second platform, was able to do a 1.5 flip from 20-feet, was not scary as a young punk.

Also, lots of dredged rock pits in SE FL, used to dive from trees with platforms, some were 25 feet, not a problem.

About 5 years ago I jumped, did not dive, off the b-i-l's tri-level, about 25 feet, only feet first, getting scarier with age, but I do not back down from a challenge, as the young buck nephews thought the old man would not do it, I showed those pricks the old man can still kick some arse.

[Dan47]

2000 ft ~

I hurt my knee in jump school with two jumps left to graduate. In order to not be recycled or possibly dropped, I'd look for puddles on the ground, lift the bad leg and land in the puddles on my backside.

Yes, I'm amazing. :yesnod:

Were they jumping into the Adriatic Sea?

[Don Rickles]

Were they jumping into the Adriatic Sea?

Yup, from one of the thousand islands off the southern coast. Vis, one of the top beaches on the globe!

[theandies]

We had a 12 foot high dive at the pool we went to as kids. There was an abandoned rock quarry that was flooded out that we used as a swimming hole which had a few jumps and if I remember correctly the highest was about 30 feet from the water. I was one of the few who would jump from there. The highest fall I ever took without hitting water is when I fell out of a tree house we made which was about 20 feet. Landed flat on my back but no injuries except for my pride. I was really lucky because right next to where I fell was a 2x4 with a bunch of nails sticking out of it.
