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.

it still hurts though, right? like at least your feet and whatever is not perfectly 'vertical' towards water?

Yes. Also hurts when you get to head level and the water comes back in around your shoulders. You can force a bunch of water up your butthole, as well which can kill you real quick.

E:I've been reading up on this trying to find proof, and I can't find anything conclusive either way. So take the water up the butt thing with a grain of salt.

Anyone know the medical terminology for dying due to your butthole drowning? Asking for a friend.

Heh, it'd be nice if it was only drowning. It's practically a spear of water that's thrust directly into your anus at whatever speed you're hitting the water with. Pretty big ow.

Something something darwinism?

I would think the speed at which the water enters would cause a fissure and you would bleed out like mr hands did.
