For those of you who want an actual answer, there could be a couple different reasons why he does this. 1) To agitate the water so he can see it better. 2) To gauge the distance from the top to the water. 3) To break the surface tension (Long answer: Bonds form between the water molecules called hydrogen bonds.

The rock breaks the bonds in order for a smooth contact with the water for the diver.) Thank you to those who corrected me in the comments!
Not only does it help with surface tension, but it can help you time your rotation. In other words, you can get a feel for hoe long youll fall to make sure youre in a safe position at the time of impact.
It's to break the surface tension of the water. Old iron workers that built bridges were trained to throw their hammer into the water if they were falling. Doing so would often save their lives
@@miklet7629key word here is "throw." if I throw something below me while I'm falling, it will reach the surface faster than I will edit: also, gravity affects everything the same. if you hold a feather and a bowling ball in a vacuum and drop both at the same time, they fall at the same rate. mass doesn't matter when it comes to how fast something falls.
@@lunytunez3634cause it is wrong cliff jumper here u throw a rock down too see if ther is any flat trash in the water for example a paper back 2cm under the water will brake your legs if it's laying flat down same with fishes braking the water tension is a myth
Because he was sick of not being able to smell what The Rock was cookin, but then he realized he wanted to give it one more shot and jumped in after it
To disrupt the static surface of the water. The rock creates ripples which reduce the surface tension so that in the case that if he hits the water flat it doesn’t hurt as much.
i do it to calculate my fall time if im gonna do a backflip or a somersault and its also used for surface tension, it feels like concrete if you dont break the surface

Something like that happenend in a small town in eastern Germany in 1961. It was the first sighting outside of the "Tegernsee" in the south of Germany. It's attributed to an ancient Bavarian Beer Kult (CSU) founded by his leader "Edmund Stoiber". This group is known for it's evil behaviour and it is only "tolerated" in Bavaria.

The man in the videos name is Mike Hunt Hertz. After finding out his wife was cheating with a local man Mr. Hertz did some mild social media stalking and found out where his wife and the mystery man would be going to meet eachother. Once he knew the location where they'd be he devised a way to get his revenge. Mr. Hertz would simply throw a rock off the bridge and take the man out with a swift blow to the head plunging to the depths below to confirm the kill directly after impact. Once the kill was confirmed he would then T-bag (also known as Skull F***) the mans lifeless body as he rose back to the surface as if he was a call of duty god popping up out of the water infront of his stunned and horrified wife and shouting "Tah Dah!!" causing her to go into shock and faint thus drowning to death. He would then swim away down river where he had his car waiting and go home as if he was never there. The whole thing would look like an accident leaving Mr. Hertz as the unsuspecting grieving husband but in reality he would be free of his cheating wife and rich off of the life insurance money. What you see in the first clip above is Mr. Hertz doing a test run of his plan trying to make sure he has the timing and angles down just right for the plan to work properly. The second clip is Mr. Hertz attempting to execute the plan but it goes wrong. He beomes too excited and enraged. Seeing red he throws the rock with extreme force missing both the man and his wife below. Mr. Hertz then proceeds to execute stage two of the plan jumping but when he reaches the edge he realizes that he missed the man so he decides he will Execute a triple 360 inverted face f*** on the man killing them both instantly Infront of his wife. It was later revealed in the autopsy report that the man Mrs. Hertz had been having an affair with was named Buster Himen.. he was 69 years old. Poor old bastard never knew what hit him. After the Incident the wife whose name was later revealed to be Anita went back to her maiden name Dickenme then later moved to Chappaqua, New York where she found a job working for the clinton family as a secretary before going missing the same day as the clintons chef after rumors began to surface she had been giving Mr. Clinton sloppy toppy on his giggle stick. Some thought Dickenme and the chef ran away together until the chef was found dead of drowning. Ms. Dickenme was never seen or heard from again... some say she killed the chef and is in hiding. Others say hillary had her killed out of jelousy. The truth is we may never know what happened to Anita Dickenme..

Nope. Its just to get air bubbles in the water so when you hit te water, it wouldkt hit to hard. Swimmingpools with high jumpplanks habe a system for this. With a button..
It’s used for two reasons, it’s used to break the water tension for a smoother entrance into the water and it’s also used as something to aim for so you know if you have enough time for the flips, as it’s difficult to perceive distance when looking at a solid colour
The surface tension bit is an absolute myth. Throwing a rock does nothing to make the dive easier. It’s origin was for divers to locate their entry point since finding exactly where you’re going to land in a sea of blue isn’t very easy. This origin however has been distorted by people thinking themselves smarter than they are. In this scenario he doesn’t even land in the bubbles.
@@brianjc720 yeah thats right, Im cliffdiver and know that Its only for aiming and handling your flips better cause you can see when landing is coming.
This is actually also done to find out that whether the water body is deep enough or ok to dive into it, as if the stone sinks then it means that is OK to dive whereas if it floats , it means that the water body is deep enough which is a dangerous indication of diving into it.
What most people don't realise is that rocks are sensational high divers, but terrible swimmers. It's all well and good cheering them on as you marvel at their descent, but it's probably the last thing they'll ever do.
It's to break surface tension. Water is like concrete, when the water breaks the area surface tension even if he messes up some he will likely be alright. Probably does help for spotting though.
It gives you reference to the distance from water. Spinning you see blue and light blue, but with the white ripples you can have a reference marker indicating the distance you have left
for someone who wants an actual answer, there are a few reasons. 1. when he throws it, it breaks the water tension so it wont feel like he hit a truck when entering the water. 2. when you throw a rock, it falls at a certain speed, and when you count, you can gauge how far the drop is. sometimes the depth perception from up high can feel weird, and this can reassure divers how big of a drop it is. 3. it was not the reason in any of these clips, but sometimes divers will break away loose rocks from a cliff they are jumping from. that way they have a more secure, and controlled takeoff. otherwise you could possibly get put into a coma if you hit the water the wrong way. you can also break bones... 4. as I said before, depth perception can be tricky, and if you are jumping out, throwing a rock can let divers know how far they need to jump, or simply just to know exactly where they hit so they can more successfully do tricks. or just to jump. they are being careful, thats all. Edit: if someone actually read this, thank you. and I hope this helped :)
It's mainly superstition. Yeah less expirienced divers could use the help by looking at the rock, but points 2 and 4 don't apply to these clips because they aren't looking at the rock.
hey , the main reason is to indicate to the "save team" where u will land and they can come closer to help in the shortest time if it's needed (bad fall can happen anytime)
The rock is actually an injured professional high diver. His injuries were so gruesome that he looks like that now…don’t judge. Dude is just helping the guy feel human one more time.
I heard it was for breaking the surface tension of the water, but it's actually for the surface tension of his biceps and forearms from releasing the rock. His arms feel lighter so he can free fall more freely.
@@ktown604 because he knows he’s X amount of feet above it. Through the whole jump he is constantly adjusting and SPOTTING his landing. He look’s away because he knows where he is and doesn’t want to blow his face apart from the speed. Would you stare directly into a fire hose full blast? Because that’s what it will feel like if you stared at the water while entering. Some women have given themselves an extra hole down there from entering the water using the wrong form. Mythbusters found that “breaking the surface tension” prior to entering water. Does absolutely nothing.
Damn I'm dumb! I thought he saw a rough looking patch of water, that was selling meth to child. He threw the rock because he wanted the Crack dealer waves attention
I literally had to paused the video from self repeating just to read more of the comments. 😅Spent more time reading those comments compared watching the videos. Legendary people.
He gets 2 things, first : he breaks the water tension so the impact is less hard. Two: he gets to know how much airtime he gets before landing in the water
Ripples give a visual clue to spot the landing. Really glassy water sometimes can mirror the sky when your flipping. Helps you figure out timing and trajectory if you’ve never jumped the spot before. Surface tension disruption is not significant with a rock. That is not the reason we throw rocks
It's the surface tension. Jump and forget to disturb the waters surface tension, bet you will throw a rock if u still walk good. But all clif diving do something to disturb still water. Waterfalls work good too. Doesn't take much but if you give a Dann about getting old with your body intact, you'll bomb a rock. When you jump you adjust yourself by watching the water come at you not a count to time. Timing is visual. I don't have to be pro to know that. You learn that by the time you start 10m jumps
He grew up with those rocks in his home town of Milwaukee. They always dreamed of BASE jumping together and he promised those rocks he’d take’m one day. What a guy fulfilling his promise. Sad part is the small rock never made it back 😢
its all to do with distance perception as when at hight its hard to judge water. Thats why cliff divers and high divers have water spraying on top of still water.
Possibly the closest incorrect answer to the truth. Actually it was more he was causing a glitch in The matrix in other words breaking the surface tension of the water to lessen the impact when his body hits

Just like TH-cam Stories (my rock)... 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Damn… what a dilemma…
For those of you who want an actual answer, there could be a couple different reasons why he does this.
1) To agitate the water so he can see it better.
2) To gauge the distance from the top to the water.
3) To break the surface tension
(Long answer: Bonds form between the water molecules called hydrogen bonds. They form because the hydrogen/oxygen atoms are slightly negative or positive. Therefore, opposites attract and you get water tension. The rock breaks the bonds in order for a smooth contact with the water for the diver.)
Thank you to those who corrected me in the comments!

Not only does it help with surface tension, but it can help you time your rotation. In other words, you can get a feel for hoe long youll fall to make sure youre in a safe position at the time of impact.

for someone who wants an actual answer, there are a few reasons. 1. when he throws it, it breaks the water tension so it wont feel like he hit a truck when entering the water. 2. when you throw a rock, it falls at a certain speed, and when you count, you can gauge how far the drop is. sometimes the depth perception from up high can feel weird, and this can reassure divers how big of a drop it is. 3. it was not the reason in any of these clips, but sometimes divers will break away loose rocks from a cliff they are jumping from. that way they have a more secure, and controlled takeoff. otherwise you could possibly get put into a coma if you hit the water the wrong way. you can also break bones... 4. as I said before, depth perception can be tricky, and if you are jumping out, throwing a rock can let divers know how far they need to jump, or simply just to know exactly where they hit so they can more successfully do tricks. or just to jump. they are being careful, thats all.
Edit: if someone actually read this, thank you. and I hope this helped :)
Something i learned today years old❤. I dont know swimming, but its good to know. Thanks a lot
@@rohitmeshram5249 yeah no problem :) I was really into high diving for a few years, so I know a lot of the tricks and secrets kinda.
The water tension is a common misconception
It's mainly superstition. Yeah less expirienced divers could use the help by looking at the rock, but points 2 and 4 don't apply to these clips because they aren't looking at the rock.
hey , the main reason is to indicate to the "save team" where u will land and they can come closer to help in the shortest time if it's needed
(bad fall can happen anytime)
In Australia we do that to kill whatever shark, crocodile, killer jellyfish or aquatic emu that happens to be lurking beneath the water’s surface.
Aquatic emu😂😂😂
Sounds almost like Florida
Then a butterfly kills you lol
Im surprised the rocks dont bite 🤨 🫤
@@FLjcollinsright
The rock is actually an injured professional high diver. His injuries were so gruesome that he looks like that now…don’t judge.
Dude is just helping the guy feel human one more time.
He imagines the rock is Gwen Stacy and he does his best Spiderman impression
Underrated
@@O-Boca-Seca way, way, way too underrated. Dark as fuck.
Mary Jane you child
Damn
@@tylertradesalot actually Qwin Stacy buddy
When he kills fish he gots 10 Points extra
And if he hit another man he get 100 points
Made my day!
😄👍
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He is afraid of heights. He assumes his crush is that rock for a few seconds and he forces himself to jump as if he is trying to save her.
or him... it's 2022
@IfYouSeeSomeoneDrowningLol what is the meaning of the emoji - 🗿
Hahahaha

@@_Captain_Jack_Sparrow_ Basically no emotion or something is funny
Damm. These guys have NO FEAR. WTF?? I Would be scared looking over the edge alone!!!
He's obviously making sure nobody drained the river when he wasn't looking and painted it to create the illusion there was water in it.
That is a possibility, so you gotta make sure 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
"this is Elon Musk, tesla's. Co-founder and CEO"
Like the miami f1 gp?
I heard it was for breaking the surface tension of the water, but it's actually for the surface tension of his biceps and forearms from releasing the rock. His arms feel lighter so he can free fall more freely.
This a fact?
Mythbusters busted that myth. What exactly are you breaking the surface tension from? More water. It’s to spot his landing
@@Bearded_Drone Then why does he look away before it hits the water?
@@ktown604 because he knows he’s X amount of feet above it. Through the whole jump he is constantly adjusting and SPOTTING his landing. He look’s away because he knows where he is and doesn’t want to blow his face apart from the speed. Would you stare directly into a fire hose full blast? Because that’s what it will feel like if you stared at the water while entering. Some women have given themselves an extra hole down there from entering the water using the wrong form.
Mythbusters found that “breaking the surface tension” prior to entering water. Does absolutely nothing.
😂😂 Bro wtf r u talkin about
He’s simply verifying gravity in the area. Nothing more embarrassing than jumping off a bridge and then hovering. It’s just awkward.
Jesus walked on water and it was awesome ❤
Lmfao
😂
He is crazy that's why throwing stones and doing crazy jumps.
It's his favourite stone, he needs a motivation to jump.
i like it
When he doesn't want to jump in the river alone.
When he’s asked people to drop it after him, it’s been very painful.
I love this comment
He’s diving after it ! Like pool toys 😂😂😂😂😂
He counts the seconds till he hears a splash that way he can determine how much of a disappointment he is to his family.
Lmao 😂
Lol
BEST COMMENT PLS LIKE
😂😂😂
Solid.
That's his way to give the fish nearby a heads up so no one gets killed.
Underrated comment😂
If he hears "AARGH!!" He knows there's someone in the way so waits til they sink 😆
Lololol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂Under rated Comment!!!!🤣😂🤣
🤣🤣💯
Hahaha
🤣😂😂
Its for timing his jump, so he knows how much fun stuff he can do before the splash..
It's a safety precaution just incase there's anyone below, the rock knocks them out cold so their limp body is softer to land on for him.
😂😂😂😂😂
That was probably the coldest comment 😅😂
🤣🤣🤣
An actual LOL 😂. I'm in Kroger so loud 📢 once again!!
@@ajithmadhu5266 just like the body of the guy below
It’s because he hates rocks. Ever since he was young and had one fall on his head. It’s amazing to see people overcome their fears
And now, he too, Rocks ...
Lol
Damn I'm dumb! I thought he saw a rough looking patch of water, that was selling meth to child. He threw the rock because he wanted the Crack dealer waves attention
I literally had to paused the video from self repeating just to read more of the comments. 😅Spent more time reading those comments compared watching the videos. Legendary people.
Brooo who are you?
@@eatv7676 Brooo who are you?
Me too 🤣
You LITERALLY paused?
I just did that loll
He does it as a good luck charm for his dive
To show the water who the boss is:
"Did you enjoy that hard rock hitting you?
Wait 'till you feel my balls"
💀💀💀💀💀💀
🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀
😂😂😂
Wtf man 😆
Excellent
He gets 2 things, first : he breaks the water tension so the impact is less hard. Two: he gets to know how much airtime he gets before landing in the water
Perfect
Smartest answer yet...perfectly answered
The first one isn't true. Seen mythbusters test this. The second could be.
No
@@Somethingsaboutmary ???🤦
That one person chilling at the bottom : 💀
He lost a game of rock paper scissors after he chose rock, so he threw the rock to get revenge.
That's not an ordinary rock. That's a Rock Incense that will increase the power of his rock type moves.
🤣🤣🤣
Ripples give a visual clue to spot the landing. Really glassy water sometimes can mirror the sky when your flipping. Helps you figure out timing and trajectory if you’ve never jumped the spot before. Surface tension disruption is not significant with a rock. That is not the reason we throw rocks
Thank you
It's the surface tension. Jump and forget to disturb the waters surface tension, bet you will throw a rock if u still walk good. But all clif diving do something to disturb still water. Waterfalls work good too. Doesn't take much but if you give a Dann about getting old with your body intact, you'll bomb a rock. When you jump you adjust yourself by watching the water come at you not a count to time. Timing is visual. I don't have to be pro to know that. You learn that by the time you start 10m jumps
Finally someone is right.
But he didn't watch the surface after throwing 🤔
To boost ones morale. "If a stone can do it, why can't I!"
But the stone sank bro
@Spanked ya Kid i think it is one's not ones
Because he wanted to? Idk
Those stones don't want to just he is making them to do🤣
Wtf 🤣
“If you’re friend jumped of a bridge would you?”
Him:yea sure
He grew up with those rocks in his home town of Milwaukee. They always dreamed of BASE jumping together and he promised those rocks he’d take’m one day. What a guy fulfilling his promise.
Sad part is the small rock never made it back 😢
🤣🤣🤣 Making dreams a reality
You are sick for thinking this 🤣🤣🤣 keep up.the good funny comments 🤣
Lmao 🤣
Ha ha ha I live in Wisconsin
awww🥺😭
This is the best collection of comments I’ve ever seen in a TH-cam video!!!
First i looked your comment then I read few and I can say it might be 😂👍👍
I was just saying the same thing 😂😂😂
No
Me too 😂😂👍
🤣☀️ I agree! Best comments ever
It's his best friend forever and where the stone goes there he is.
That made me think of him having a friend that passed away and he goes with his buddy everywhere.
XD
Exactly
Him letting the water get back to near rest after throwing it is a bold strategy
Breaks the surface tension of the water. Softer landing. 👍🏻
Yes
If you land in the same spot....neither one did.
No
Mythbusters showed that's a myth
its all to do with distance perception as when at hight its hard to judge water. Thats why cliff divers and high divers have water spraying on top of still water.
He wanted to make sure there wasn't a glitch in the matrix
Finally the correct answer! :)
Naw this the actual answer fr tho
Lmao
🤣🤣🤣 hilarious dude.
Possibly the closest incorrect answer to the truth. Actually it was more he was causing a glitch in The matrix in other words breaking the surface tension of the water to lessen the impact when his body hits
He's breaking the surface tension to allow him to slip into the water with less pain 😂
Frrrr
I was so confused
Treu👍
R u doné
That is absolute nonsense. I'm diver btw
