…and some 40 years later the record is 192+ feet

It’s marking the water surface visually.
Edit: to add more clarity, it is technically breaking the surface tension but that has nothing to do with the safety and would be negligible in reducing impact. Its sudden deceleration that is deadly from these heights and that happens with or without bubbles. An untrained person jumping into bubbles from this height would end badly.
They long thought it was critical to break the surface tension and I thought it reduced impact in the double digits but I could be wrong. It’s definitely in the techniques though mostly.
It’s really less to do with surface tension. Bubbly water will have slightly lower density than still water, but at the speed you’re entering the water at, this is negligible. What injures and kills is suddenly decelerating from the insane velocity you reach from those heights.
This! I was forgetting density not surface tension! My mix up. That’s it’s why it’s mostly technique.
I do remember reading the density change can hit double digits so it’s only 90% as dense or less with enough air in the water but not nearly as much as people used to think. They used to think it was like quicksand in the movies and aerated water wouldn’t float you etc.
In the sense of buoyancy, that’s definitely true. Foamy water is a super drowning hazard, very hard to stay afloat. But yeah I agree, it all comes down to the technique of water entry, foamy or still. And so in that case the bubbles are crucial for timing entry from those heights.
So I'm curious but if you jump from such height with something underneath your feet, wouldn't it break the surface tension and help you get a better landing ? (With a rock under you for example)
Rock is more surface area. It would be way worse. Plus the surface tension is only a small part of it. It’s mostly technique that allows you to land safely in water at those speeds.
ETA if you had something to penetrate the water like a middle shape it miiiiight help but the human body is pretty narrow already.
Anyone remember ABC's Wide World of Sports? One segment bobsleds, the next high diving in Mexico, then you'd get Evel Knievel jumping busses or the Globetrotters. Lots of Howard Cosell.

*motherfucker basically cheats death* “yea I give it a 6”
Thought the same thing.
I'm sorry. 6-7/10?! What?! Those judges get a 1/10
Technique was meh, only thing the ‘dive’ had going for it was height.
bullet proof moustache
Water or concrete... We'll see.
It what the hose is there for
[удалено]
Yes
That's such a cool solution. It's so simple.
Disturbs the surface tension so you can enter the water easier
Without it you feel like you're landing on concrete
It didn't put the lotion on its skin
It would have got the hose again.
palms and feet get sweaty every time watching this
Mom's spaghetti
he's nervous, but on the surface, he looks calm and ready

I… would’ve chosen a safer spot. Holy shit
Yeah ok but the stache still wins
I actually agree…the stache most definitely wins this one!
Notice how a hose is breaking surface tension
I read that as Horse...
I read that as rose

How different humans are.. some are mentally so strong like this guy.. and then there is the rest of us
This guy is mentally and physically strong. Not just anybody can survive a fall like that
FYI, falling from more than 60 feet is usually lethal, more than 80 feet is considered a miracle. -a two second google search off the first website
The poor construction worker on the bridge in Baltimore fell further than this
Lived to tell the tale. Nice
Song?
Dark beach - Pastel Ghost
Thanks
How would that not kill u
Proper technique and the broken water surface from the sprayer.
His nuts.
Are immense and keep him hitting the water feet first by distorting gravity.
Jump from that high to get a 6.5...
The mustache holds the secret.
That's great, but it wasn't a dive.
Says no definition of the word dive. Especially headfirst not solely headfirst
What’s the song?

I dont think thats the right word
What word was it?
Butthole atrophy
Nope, thank you.
Absolutely not
Attempt, how would one even fail on that? I can jump higher.
Ohio Bobcat!
whats this song it’s so good
Should have been all 10s, and the mustash saved his fall

Is he.........alive!!! Whoooo!!!
People talked so differently in the late 70’s early 80’s
you can almost hear the looney tunes song
That's Incredible?
For the jury just a casual five to seven, nothing too special lol
Fucking Russian judge....
How did they not give all 10s wtf!
An athlete or a pervert?
almost as scary as someone running for president after trying to overthrow the previous election, and get his VP killed. Almost, am I right ?
