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.

I seem to recall reading a long time ago that 100 ft is the height where a fall into the water is not survivable for most people.

He hit leaning forward a bit

Risky and careless but it can easily be done with a little experience

Bad landing, got the wind knocked out of him.
I’ll only give him a 2.5 on that jump.

I have jumped from 75 feet and it feels like hitting concrete.

Tough kid to be able to survive the jump for long enough to swim back to the surface with all of his organs bleeding out. I did stupid stuff too that could have killed me. RIP.
