I was taught in lifeboat training by the Coast Guard that if you have to jump from any substantial height, do these things: 1. Cross your legs and point your toes to minimize the chance of getting "wishboned" on impact. 2. Grab the front collar area of your life jacket and pull down on it as hard as you can so it doesn't ride up and strangle you because when you hit the water, it's going to stop even faster than you are. 3. If you can see any air bubbles, particularly in the wake of a boat, aim for them. Where the surface is already disturbed, you stand a better chance of cutting through it. This also might help with the next guideline. 4. Try to land where people will notice! You're going to be hurt and need help getting out of the water, so the faster they can get to you, the better.

As a young teen I dove off the high dive at a local water park. I wasn't able to control my dive properly. I hit the water horizontally on one side of my body. The side of my swimsuit split out completely and I was briefly paralyzed as i floated and waited for rescue. No one came to pull me from the water and after a minute or so i was able to move enough to make it to the ladder. After i had significant bruising on my hip on the side that struck the water. It was like slamming into a brick wall at thirty miles an hour.
@thegreatchaos13 depending on context it can translate "in the fairest" or "to the fairest". The intended context is "to the fairest" inscribed on a golden apple in Greek mythology. Google "Greek mythology golden apple" for context. You have an inquiring mind, 👍.
An ironworker fell off the Ambassador bridge (43 meters) in Ontario in 2023 and survived, luckily someone saw him fall and rescues were here in minutes because he was incapacitated.
As a kid, maybe 13 or 14, I used to jump off the rock in Waimea Bay... we called it towers. Highest jump spot was 40 feet and you had to time your jump with a wave cuz the water was only 5 or 6 feet deep at high tide. Damn... that was some fun stuff, but I never bothered to think about how we were messing with physics.
Poor Stick Dee Man. He's always in trouble. Good thing he's also a Time Lord w/ unlimited regenerations. This is very interesting. Thanks! Have people ever broken their feet or legs when hitting the water? That would surely cause issues. 😮
To quibble with one point, the stated speed at impact seems quite overly precise, as it depends on orientation to the air. Just as feet first reduces the force from the water, it reduces the force from the air, and flatter to the air increases the drag. Orientation is a significant factor in terminal velocity.
Channels already take D tier sponsorships anyways, but at least D tier would be an upgrade Have you ever bought a Manscaped Lawnmower or a Ridge wallet?
Wish I had seen this video about 3 months ago... Before I dive jumped at the public pool from about 10m, head first. 'Broke my Spine, but luckily it healed without staying disabilities.
You're my therapy Stu, every time I watch your videos, it makes me giggle... 👍🏻 16' ~ 5.5m, half on concrete, half in the pool, knocked unconscious into the water... Half brother who threw me off the building, pulled me out, I was only like 12... That's my longest drop, but I dove into the same pool, from 7m years later...
I seem to recall hearing somewhere else that if you fall from an airplane, the odds of survival are better if you land in a forest, than if you land in a lake - because if you sustain only survivable injuries, at least you won't risk immediately drowning, since you're likely to be incapacitated either way. I wonder whether there are studies that back this up?
I would say it also depends on the type of forest and how thick the canopy. The reason that is said is because, tough there are branches, the canopy will break the fall enough to where it is survivable, though you'll most likely have MANY broken bones and probably internal bleeding in most cases. I'm no expert on the subject or anything, this is just my thought process based on the information I have. For an actual example, take a thick pine forest, probably the safest type of forest to survive a fall from a plane. As they are heavily layered and meant to sway and bend, not only would the outer layer soften the force, but the tree bending will absorb and heavily reduce the momentum and kinetic energy. Not saying you'll get away with no injury, but it is the safest bet for survival.
@@Cogic A Yugoslavian woman survived a fall from an absolutely ridiculous 10 km altitude when her airplane broke up in mid air (I think as the result of a bomb blast), and she landed in the snow. Although she had multiple broken bones and I think even vertebrates, she did manage to come out of it without being a paraplegic, but unfortunately life long pain.
Some infos: 9:28 Kevin attempted a double flip with a half twist, not a "triple reverse flip" aka triple gainer (he over rotated because his last attempt was on a crane that slightly absorbed his jump, so here he through the rotation too fast.) 16:30 the depth you achieve only depends of your entry, technique, and how well you stay straight as deep as you can. The height absolutely doesnt matter, if you're inexperienced, either it's 3m or 27m you'll end up at 3m deep. Water becomes harder to displace as your speed increases, so the slightest mistake will have a big impact on the depth you end up in. The sweet spot is around 10m, as you have enough velocity to go 6m deep without the impact being too hard.
I used to do diving back when I was in college. When diving head first and from 7.5m or 10m it was pretty common to touch the bottom of the 5m deep pool. But by that time you'd of decelerated enough for it not to be a problem. But just in case, they taught you to do a forward roll as well as sticking your arms out to the side as soon as you entered the water. This would dramatically reduce the depth you would reach. This helped me out quite a bit because going that deep in that short space of time would put massive pressure on your ear drums. But because its a quick decent and ascent, you dont have time to equalise the pressure like a scuba diver would need to. So doing the forward roll certainly helped with the pain in the ears.
Did any study also look into feet position? Cause I know professional divers don't point their feet downward but hold them at a 90° position to create the biggest surface possible and replace as much water as possible to 'make space for the rest of the body' essentially. I assume it won't matter above a certain height.
They do that because as you said it makes for more room for the body, but that's only so you make a cleaner entry as the side of your body wont create splashes, it's a bit harder on the feet and legs, but pointing your ankles might hurt more as you have a higher chance of twisting your feet
I think the one study stating there is no correlation is because some of the people ho fell from super high may have been flat most of the way and then straitened out making there fall speed no faster than those at shorter distances in pencil
The trick is to not enter the water at 90deg. If you can hit the water at a ~20deg angle you will skip and spread the impact force out over a greater area. Bit like how they bring space craft into the atmosphere. So all good, the hard part is getting to a 20 deg impact angle :P
A Silent Voice, volume 1, page 46 "I heard if you jump from fifty feet, it's as hard as concrete" Also in a later vol, the protag's falling into a river and a panel flashback occurs with the number blacked out and he's desperately trying to remember the number his friend said. S tier manga moment. Pretty creative
We did write a section on this in an earlier script, describing the 'pinch' effect, similar to what happens to some bullets on entry to water, but we couldn't find a study that fully explored this effect for humans.

I believe they are usually just used during practice dives. The Jets of water that we see bubbling on the surface during actual competitions are just to make the surface of the water more visible to the diver. Thanks for watching 👍
and thats why people dive face first or feet first, not chest first because that would knock the wind outta you especially if you have shoes on or handgear however, if you’re falling on a solid surface, rolling is the best option if you roll, that force being placed on your body is all around you in small quantities, essentially reducing the damage to 0
Shame of the BetterHelp video. Especially given the recent viral BetterHelp scandal update video on YT this week showing they’re no better and dying off and desperate for new customers as they’re at the lowest in years. Shilling for BetterHelp earns this video many dislikes and rightfully so. Doesn’t matter about the quality of the video.
Why is water surface tention, not described? It does not change, but I think that it might be important to mention. There is a reason why liquids are more similar to solids, than gas. I know this is a nitpick, but it is part of the physics regarding collision with water.
When I was in junior high there was a swimming hole at a bridge that had boulders blow. If your jumping aim was good, it was possible to jump from the top of the bridge arch because there was a spot that was twenty feet deep -- the problem being that it was only six feet wide and eight feet long. The older teens wouldn't let anyone jump into that until they'd showed they could jump and land on a target. We didn't think that through, though; the target had to be held in place so it didn't float away, and they used cotton clothesline to hold it; inevitably, a girl landed and got tangled in the line and had to be rescued.
Really cool video! The only thing that was missing was: What exactly is the body position where you have the best chance to survive? Feet first, obviously, but what do you do with your arms? At 17:10, it looks like your elbows should stick out to the sides. Isn't that dangerous?
Elbows out is bad. When I was a lifeguard some kids were jumping with their arms crossed, hands grabbing their upper arms. When they jumped from the 10m board there were a bunch of pulled and torn muscles. I've done it from that height but it takes a lot of effort to keep the elbows tight enough to not get lifted by the water.
I learned that the hard way in GTA. I had no parachute when I got out of the plane and I thought when I land on the water it would keep me safe. Unfortunately, when I landed my health bar completely went to zero. I didn't know what happened so when I ask this question to someone else, he said that if you fall from a great height the water doesn't break your fall like when you fall from a much shorter height into a pool.
So this video, which involves "jumpers" and how high that bridge or building has to be, then drags in a psychological counseling service that many commenters say is dodgy .... This is a marriage made in hell?
As a trained diver, I jumped 70 feet. No injuries though I definitely went deeper than expected. My friend forgot to close his legs and never dove from a bridge again.
I stopped on a bridge over a reservoir one summer while in university and looked over. A guy came up and asked if I was going to jump. When I said I was thinking about it, he offered me a six-pack of beer if I did. As I was still thinking about it, a gal came up with the same question -- but she promised an entire case of beer if I jumped naked. That much beer was too much to resist, and to make it more dramatic I jumped from the top rail. As a lifeguard I knew how to hit the water, which right below that spot was about twelve feet deep, and the only "injury" I got was water up my nose when I didn't blow air out hard enough on impact feet-first. I hit with my feet angled to reduce the chance of hitting the bottom. When I'd climbed back up the cliff/hillside to the bridge I was told a ranger had stopped and told them people shouldn't be jumping from there. He'd waited to see me come back to the surface and swim toward the edge, and told them to "Tell that idiot he's damned lucky -- it's 64 feet down from the pavement". Add the four-foot railing to the 64 feet and it's 68 feet I jumped into that reservoir.
No mention of the guy(s) that bellyflop 40 feet into a shallow pool. They spread out as much as possible, make a big splash and stand up in knee high water. Incredible!
How far down you go into the water depends on what you do after you hit the water. After the initial splash you can flare out your arms and legs pretty quickly without taking damage. The impact is mostly done at the surface. Tuck your chin, elbows in, hold the jewels, and point the toes down.
Flaring out your arms if you're not physically fit can result in torn muscles! To know your limits try it first from five feet, then ten, then twenty, and so on until you feel the first pain, and don't go any higher. Interestingly, in lifeguard training for jumping from moderate heights we were taught to hit with arms slightly apart from the body and let them lift, giving resistance, while descending in the water. This leaves the arms overhead when you come to a stop, already in position to swim back upward.
i can't believe you guys took a better help sponsorship with all the bullshit they've done. this is meant to be a credible channel, and you using the trust we have in you to peddle them is really disappointing.
We have partnered with this sponsor with genuinely good intentions to raise awareness of mental health issues and to let those that may be struggling know that they are not alone.
Shouldn't "Terminal Velocity" be called "Terminal Velocity Increase?" After all, we are not terminating the speed of the object once it reaches peak speed, we're terminating any further increase in its speed at that point. "Terminal Velocity" would require the objuct to freeze in the air while falling!
@@DebunkedOfficial Nope! I had no interest interest in doing it as an adult. Terrified of hurting myself, especially since I dislocated my shoulder when I was 19 (but not because of the high dive).
I fell from about 20 ft, but I had to land flat because it was only about 6 inches of water over a bunch of Cypress knees. I would never want to have to do that again...😮

Sorry for all your life tragedies, Stu. Wish you all the best for the future.
That's very kind, thank you.
The difference between concrete and water is that concrete doesn't try to drown you after breaking your back.
It just cracks your skull 💀 instead of
An ironworker fell off the Ambassador bridge (43 meters) in Ontario in 2023 and survived, luckily someone saw him fall and rescues were here in minutes because he was incapacitated.
I grew up in windsor haha always wanted to dive off it, maybe not now lol
I remember that! Hi from Detroit
As a kid, maybe 13 or 14, I used to jump off the rock in Waimea Bay... we called it towers. Highest jump spot was 40 feet and you had to time your jump with a wave cuz the water was only 5 or 6 feet deep at high tide.
Damn... that was some fun stuff, but I never bothered to think about how we were messing with physics.
Poor Stick Dee Man. He's always in trouble. Good thing he's also a Time Lord w/ unlimited regenerations.
This is very interesting. Thanks! Have people ever broken their feet or legs when hitting the water? That would surely cause issues. 😮
😆 Stick will return!
Lots of examples of leg injuries, including fractures and breaks.
Thank you for commenting 👍
To quibble with one point, the stated speed at impact seems quite overly precise, as it depends on orientation to the air. Just as feet first reduces the force from the water, it reduces the force from the air, and flatter to the air increases the drag. Orientation is a significant factor in terminal velocity.
I definitely wouldn't want to fall onto a "Geezer"
😂
😆 I knew the British pronunciation of that would get a few comments
Unsubbed for betterhelp sponsor. The only way channels take better sponsorships is if it effects their bottom line
Channels already take D tier sponsorships anyways, but at least D tier would be an upgrade

Wish I had seen this video about 3 months ago... Before I dive jumped at the public pool from about 10m, head first. 'Broke my Spine, but luckily it healed without staying disabilities.
You're my therapy Stu, every time I watch your videos, it makes me giggle... 👍🏻
16' ~ 5.5m, half on concrete, half in the pool, knocked unconscious into the water...
Half brother who threw me off the building, pulled me out, I was only like 12...
That's my longest drop, but I dove into the same pool, from 7m years later...
Wow, I'm glad you're OK now and well done for being brave enough face it again and do it by your choice 💪
I seem to recall hearing somewhere else that if you fall from an airplane, the odds of survival are better if you land in a forest, than if you land in a lake - because if you sustain only survivable injuries, at least you won't risk immediately drowning, since you're likely to be incapacitated either way. I wonder whether there are studies that back this up?
I would say it also depends on the type of forest and how thick the canopy. The reason that is said is because, tough there are branches, the canopy will break the fall enough to where it is survivable, though you'll most likely have MANY broken bones and probably internal bleeding in most cases.
I'm no expert on the subject or anything, this is just my thought process based on the information I have.
For an actual example, take a thick pine forest, probably the safest type of forest to survive a fall from a plane. As they are heavily layered and meant to sway and bend, not only would the outer layer soften the force, but the tree bending will absorb and heavily reduce the momentum and kinetic energy. Not saying you'll get away with no injury, but it is the safest bet for survival.
Who is going to give the person who conducts the “Study” the information?
The dead person? They’re the only ones who have the answers. Lol
Russian women fell over a thousand feet from a plane landed in a forest with those tall trees landed in the snow and lived
@@Cogic A Yugoslavian woman survived a fall from an absolutely ridiculous 10 km altitude when her airplane broke up in mid air (I think as the result of a bomb blast), and she landed in the snow. Although she had multiple broken bones and I think even vertebrates, she did manage to come out of it without being a paraplegic, but unfortunately life long pain.
Man, i love these videos ❤
Greetings from Germany

@@DebunkedOfficial Thanks for your content 😉
Finally someone to answer it
The sponsor is a fraud... a channel like this not checking that, made me sad 🥲
The sponsor paid them... Lol... fraud or not... money talks
Even the content is a fraud, he kept repeating the same points
Some infos:
9:28 Kevin attempted a double flip with a half twist, not a "triple reverse flip" aka triple gainer (he over rotated because his last attempt was on a crane that slightly absorbed his jump, so here he through the rotation too fast.)
16:30 the depth you achieve only depends of your entry, technique, and how well you stay straight as deep as you can. The height absolutely doesnt matter, if you're inexperienced, either it's 3m or 27m you'll end up at 3m deep. Water becomes harder to displace as your speed increases, so the slightest mistake will have a big impact on the depth you end up in. The sweet spot is around 10m, as you have enough velocity to go 6m deep without the impact being too hard.
5:38
to skip the cancer
That thick branch under the water at 15:33 really had me say “yikes” out loud.
😬
Promoting BetterHelp on a video about falling high places is wild.
Please stop using better help. It's a very bad service.
I used to do diving back when I was in college. When diving head first and from 7.5m or 10m it was pretty common to touch the bottom of the 5m deep pool. But by that time you'd of decelerated enough for it not to be a problem. But just in case, they taught you to do a forward roll as well as sticking your arms out to the side as soon as you entered the water. This would dramatically reduce the depth you would reach. This helped me out quite a bit because going that deep in that short space of time would put massive pressure on your ear drums. But because its a quick decent and ascent, you dont have time to equalise the pressure like a scuba diver would need to. So doing the forward roll certainly helped with the pain in the ears.
Thanks for sharing your experience 👌
Did any study also look into feet position? Cause I know professional divers don't point their feet downward but hold them at a 90° position to create the biggest surface possible and replace as much water as possible to 'make space for the rest of the body' essentially. I assume it won't matter above a certain height.
No studies that we could find made reference to this, but thanks for you comment 👍
That's really worth someone researching and diving into the intricate details

@@benmcreynolds8581 😀 I see what you did there 😀
They do that because as you said it makes for more room for the body, but that's only so you make a cleaner entry as the side of your body wont create splashes, it's a bit harder on the feet and legs, but pointing your ankles might hurt more as you have a higher chance of twisting your feet
Can concrete break my fall???

How did it work out for you?

Everything said in the video is common sense, nothing was learnt, but it was a pleasure to watch the whole thing 😍
Do one about snow ❤
Interesting idea 👌
I think the one study stating there is no correlation is because some of the people ho fell from super high may have been flat most of the way and then straitened out making there fall speed no faster than those at shorter distances in pencil

The trick is to not enter the water at 90deg. If you can hit the water at a ~20deg angle you will skip and spread the impact force out over a greater area. Bit like how they bring space craft into the atmosphere.
So all good, the hard part is getting to a 20 deg impact angle :P

"I heard if you jump from fifty feet, it's as hard as concrete"
Also in a later vol, the protag's falling into a river and a panel flashback occurs with the number blacked out and he's desperately trying to remember the number his friend said. S tier manga moment. Pretty creative
This didn't mention the possible damage caused by the collapse of the air pocket you create when entering into water at high speeds.
We did write a section on this in an earlier script, describing the 'pinch' effect, similar to what happens to some bullets on entry to water, but we couldn't find a study that fully explored this effect for humans.
Disliked this video because of shilling for BetterHelp
I’m not sure what betterhelp did but, I would love to know!

@@Stellarainn@Redinup Go watch any BetterHelp scandal video. They’re horrible. They don’t even vet the therapists. It’s on you to verify the therapist is actually a therapist. Also your therapist could be going round doing their shopping whilst doing your session (yes there are recordings of this). They sell personal data for profit, including those who committed suicide under their care. And many of the therapists aren’t therapists.

Interestingly, bubbles are often used in diving to reduce the impact force of entering the water, this can often been seen at the Olympics etc.
I believe they are usually just used during practice dives. The Jets of water that we see bubbling on the surface during actual competitions are just to make the surface of the water more visible to the diver. Thanks for watching 👍
I saw a co-worker fall just 20 feet onto the concrete floor. He didn't die, but he was so badly injured he was left permantly disabled.
and thats why people dive face first or feet first, not chest first because that would knock the wind outta you
especially if you have shoes on or handgear
however, if you’re falling on a solid surface, rolling is the best option
if you roll, that force being placed on your body is all around you in small quantities, essentially reducing the damage to 0
The high board. First time I dove off one, I smacked the water hard and went at least 10 feet deep.
Shame of the BetterHelp video. Especially given the recent viral BetterHelp scandal update video on YT this week showing they’re no better and dying off and desperate for new customers as they’re at the lowest in years.
Shilling for BetterHelp earns this video many dislikes and rightfully so. Doesn’t matter about the quality of the video.
I'm only me, but I'd rather choose self-respect rather than $52

Thank you 😊
Why is water surface tention, not described? It does not change, but I think that it might be important to mention. There is a reason why liquids are more similar to solids, than gas. I know this is a nitpick, but it is part of the physics regarding collision with water.
Basically the closer you are to terminal velocity the more you’ll need to find a way to break the surface tension of the water just before you land
It’s not the fall that kills ya. It’s the sudden stop.
No different to coming off a motorbike; it's the deceleration that gets you.
15:30 jumping so close to other boulders? insane
When I was in junior high there was a swimming hole at a bridge that had boulders blow. If your jumping aim was good, it was possible to jump from the top of the bridge arch because there was a spot that was twenty feet deep -- the problem being that it was only six feet wide and eight feet long. The older teens wouldn't let anyone jump into that until they'd showed they could jump and land on a target. We didn't think that through, though; the target had to be held in place so it didn't float away, and they used cotton clothesline to hold it; inevitably, a girl landed and got tangled in the line and had to be rescued.
Really cool video! The only thing that was missing was: What exactly is the body position where you have the best chance to survive? Feet first, obviously, but what do you do with your arms? At 17:10, it looks like your elbows should stick out to the sides. Isn't that dangerous?
Elbows out is bad. When I was a lifeguard some kids were jumping with their arms crossed, hands grabbing their upper arms. When they jumped from the 10m board there were a bunch of pulled and torn muscles. I've done it from that height but it takes a lot of effort to keep the elbows tight enough to not get lifted by the water.
I learned that the hard way in GTA. I had no parachute when I got out of the plane and I thought when I land on the water it would keep me safe. Unfortunately, when I landed my health bar completely went to zero. I didn't know what happened so when I ask this question to someone else, he said that if you fall from a great height the water doesn't break your fall like when you fall from a much shorter height into a pool.
I know f me got me too
@@RS-xq6je Yup, hey they should debunk the exploding barrel in action Movies.
I'm sorry to unsub😊
3:38 exactly that moment, bro couldn't contain his smile 😅
Weight and other factors would come into play as well
the fact that you only go 5 meters deep after jumping from 200 feet really shows just how hard the water hits
So this video, which involves "jumpers" and how high that bridge or building has to be, then drags in a psychological counseling service that many commenters say is dodgy .... This is a marriage made in hell?
Bring on Fearless Freep!
As a trained diver, I jumped 70 feet. No injuries though I definitely went deeper than expected. My friend forgot to close his legs and never dove from a bridge again.
I stopped on a bridge over a reservoir one summer while in university and looked over. A guy came up and asked if I was going to jump. When I said I was thinking about it, he offered me a six-pack of beer if I did. As I was still thinking about it, a gal came up with the same question -- but she promised an entire case of beer if I jumped naked. That much beer was too much to resist, and to make it more dramatic I jumped from the top rail. As a lifeguard I knew how to hit the water, which right below that spot was about twelve feet deep, and the only "injury" I got was water up my nose when I didn't blow air out hard enough on impact feet-first. I hit with my feet angled to reduce the chance of hitting the bottom.
When I'd climbed back up the cliff/hillside to the bridge I was told a ranger had stopped and told them people shouldn't be jumping from there. He'd waited to see me come back to the surface and swim toward the edge, and told them to "Tell that idiot he's damned lucky -- it's 64 feet down from the pavement".
Add the four-foot railing to the 64 feet and it's 68 feet I jumped into that reservoir.
Damn dude!
No mention of the guy(s) that bellyflop 40 feet into a shallow pool. They spread out as much as possible, make a big splash and stand up in knee high water. Incredible!
Professor Splash! We did include a section on this but the video was getting too long so it ended up on the cutting room floor. Thanks for watching 👍
How far down you go into the water depends on what you do after you hit the water. After the initial splash you can flare out your arms and legs pretty quickly without taking damage. The impact is mostly done at the surface. Tuck your chin, elbows in, hold the jewels, and point the toes down.
Thanks for your comment 👍
Flaring out your arms if you're not physically fit can result in torn muscles! To know your limits try it first from five feet, then ten, then twenty, and so on until you feel the first pain, and don't go any higher.
Interestingly, in lifeguard training for jumping from moderate heights we were taught to hit with arms slightly apart from the body and let them lift, giving resistance, while descending in the water. This leaves the arms overhead when you come to a stop, already in position to swim back upward.

Shouldn't "Terminal Velocity" be called "Terminal Velocity Increase?"
After all, we are not terminating the speed of the object once it reaches peak speed, we're terminating any further increase in its speed at that point.
"Terminal Velocity" would require the objuct to freeze in the air while falling!
When I was a kid, I jumped feet first from a high dive that was two stories high. Never wanted to try anything higher.
It's a pretty unerving height 😬 Have you done that sort of height as an adult?
@@DebunkedOfficial Nope! I had no interest interest in doing it as an adult. Terrified of hurting myself, especially since I dislocated my shoulder when I was 19 (but not because of the high dive).
