>> 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.

I’ve jumped from 80

At 13

Tower diving near laurel mississippi

100 foot is infrequently fatal but it can sure hurt you

You can be hurt around 50 foot on

You have two choices

Land as sharp 90 degrees as possible feet pointed down arms tightly by side

Or do acrobatics to slow u down and land feet first or dive

The latter is for people who really know what they are doing

Like I said this fellow landed chest neck and face forward too much

Either inexperienced or just unlucky

Amateurs routinely jump over 100

World record is I think 180-190

And of course folks survive Golden Gate Bridge which is 200 plus

And supposedly some guy helicopter jumped lake Zurich around 240 foot unverified

This kid was unlucky or no experience

On the other hand I saw a girl pushed at blue hole near Murfreesboro tn badly injured at around 65 foot landing on her side flailing

So there is that
