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

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. |

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

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?

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!

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

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.

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!
