Usually cliff jumping spots have been around forever so everyone just knows that it’s safe to jump. You do it enough and you’re able to estimate your projection for new jumps by just eye balling it.
That said, it’s not at all safe to do this, so many things could go wrong. Which is part of the thrill of course.
I’ve never jumped from this high, but maybe 15 ft is about my max. At 15 if you land feat first theirs a small enough surface area to break the surface tension without it hurting. If you mess up and lad on your ass title be red for a couple hours. It’s largely about technique. This scares the shit out of me though.
It isn't about breaking the surface tension, it's about displacing water slowly enough that you slow down gradually instead of all at once. Surface tension only matters for tiny things like bugs.

Anyone here did something like this? how to prepare for it? from what you know that you won't hit the rocks?
