An 18-year-old man in Sahibganj district of Jharkhand drowned after he jumped into deep water from a height to make an Instagram reel, police said on Tuesday.

The man, Tausif, jumped into a quarry lake from a height of about 100 feet on Monday evening. His friends, who were bathing in the lake, tried to save him but were unsuccessful.

They alerted locals and police, and a search operation was launched. The youth's body was recovered later.

A video of the incident, which has gone viral on social media, shows the young man jumping into the water while his friend records the dare. However, as soon as he started swimming after falling into the water, he began to drown.

seems like it would break bones

One of my great uncles was shot down over the English channel on D-Day. He said it was like hitting concrete.

If he’s dead, and he didn’t have any kids, then he’s a Darwin Award winner.

Unless they consider points for style, creativity, and stupidity. In which case, yes, there are plenty of other deserving nominees to be considered.

“If he’s dead, and he didn’t have any kids, then he’s a Darwin Award winner.”

Read the rules. Only a nominee. Only a few are declared winners each year. 2024 is not even half over.

I have jumped from 30 feet and it felt like hitting concrete.

More likely that the family jewels were subjected to extreme trauma which incapacitated him, physically. Ouch,ouch,ouch.

>> it can easily be done with a little experience<<

How can you get the experience when death ensues at the first try?Try to jump with a rubber ducky next time to prevent drowning.

His last words were "Allahu akbar!"

More of a spread eagle dive than a swan dive.

If it was a death jump you must give him a 10.

I agree, 10 overall, but only 2.5 on form, unless it is later determined that his purpose was to die. In that case, a perfect 10.
