Galymzhan Abaildayev... What part of Scotland or Ireland does that name come from?

I think anything over 175'-200' has a high probability of being fatal, unless you are a trained and conditioned diver, and you hit the water feet first, and very nearly perfectly vertical.

The world record is 172', and in the competition where six divers equaled that record (which still stands as the highest dive in organized competition), one of them was knocked unconscious, and he knew what he was doing.

I wonder if Galymzhan Abaildayev will be well enough to attend next years St Patrick’s Day festivities

You can rearrange the letters in his name to make ““bandaged valley hymn””, with only a leftover “Z”.

Thankfully, Vulovic had no memory of the flight or the fall!

I believe one is also supposed to cross the legs tightly to prevent “enema” effect....and very tightly pinch nostrils to prevent high pressure water from getting into the respiratory system.
If one survives, a trip to a psychiatrist is next chore to do.

Jumping from that height, and landing feet first, I am sure that he had quite a bit of the East River jammed up his rear end.

I was thinking the same thing but, people have survived their jump from the Golden Gate Bridge to the water 245 feet below and about 5% survive....
