I read an article once about professional sailboat racers. One guy was late for a race and the boats were already motoring away from the docks. His girlfriend took him to bridge and he timed his jump to land near the boat. After the race, he and his astonished crewmates went back and measured the drop. I think it was about 120 feet.

as a kid we used to jump off a bridge (long since torn down)into Lake Washington. Must have been in the 120 range easily. SScared the crap out of me. Nobody dived off it, but jumping wasn't a problem. 50ft is easy.
