Guys I’m not even joking. This is now my PE coach. He showed us the video of him when he was younger, and showed us his medal. I can’t show a picture, but I was shocked when he showed us this.
They judge your score according to how hard the moves were and how much water you splashed after you dive, as you can see he made a very big splash and pretty underwhelming moves so he got a 4.5
It’s the diver’s fault he got a low score, not the judge’s. The dive wasn’t that good. If it would have been better, he would have gotten a higher score. Why is everyone mad at the judge for doing his job
I just looked for an update on this man & he is the most amazing father who choose to go into teaching for his son. He wanted access to better schools and a better life for his child being a single father. He is still a teacher 30 years later.

He didn't. He tied it. What a dope. Climb up one more foot why don't you. If no one gathered around to see it, no one would jump. All that to show us he's an idiot who doesn't care about his life.
Tom Fisher yeah if I were gonna do a one jump in a life time I’d make it atleast 175ft instead cause it sounds more impressive but wdym he dosent care about his life he has a girlfriend and was training for a world record tie. you probably wouldn’t jump off 10m
I was aiming at a diving scholarship , hopefully at Clemson, I did low board. I'm afraid of heights. One diver was ill and we would have to forfeit. Coach put me on the high dive team. I tried a simple flip with a half twist. I hit as flat as a fritter face-first and they said it looked like I bounced off of the water. I couldn't hear for days. I thought I was done. No, there were two dives and this was from a 26' platform. As I walked out and looked down I fainted and apparently I shat myself. Before they could get to me, I woke, had no idea who or where I was and stumbled off the end of the platform and once again, my face took the brunt of the blast. It felt like concrete. In fact, I wish I had hit concrete. The film showed that none people dove in after me knowing that I was surely unconscious. As the swimmers neared me, some of them thought that the dirty water was blood. Yeah, it's funny now, but there went any hopes for S scholarship anywhere, so I ran JV track where guys kept running over me. I hate sports now.
The fact that they didn't even bother to fucking dive in sickens me with rage sorry that your dreams were crushed by profiteering crackheads Still you should be proud of yourself for persevering to conquer your fear of heights at least I used to be a academic athlete but I struggled to swim due to weak legs being heavy as anvils I left aquatics knowing I could never reach the goal but I turned to boxing and are doing very well making my true calling a reality Whatever path you choose dude I hope it's a good one and you succeed in whatever dream you decide to chase there is always a to victory I hope someday you will obtain it best of luck dude 🥊🥊🥊🥊
Damn I went through a rollercoaster of emotions from confusion, sadness, compassion etc I'm sorry it didn't work out with your scholarship but trust me your perseverance will take you far and there will be many opportunities that will come your way in future.

Forget the embarrassment, it's one to tell the grandkids and thankfully you're alive to tell it without any serious injury. All the best!
So the dirty water was poop, did people keep diving that day? The coach needs to be thrown off the end of the board, what a wally for getting you do do that!
I broke his record at an event a couple of days later. My dive was from 2337 feet. I did a triple double axle can opener with 168 flips. I hit the water on my back and was killed. Heroic efforts saved me, but they had to reattach both legs and my left arm. I also ruptured my liver, kidney, testicles and broke my face.
The fact that he took a dive from 172’ and they didn’t give him a perfect score is aggravating. He just jumped from 172’ for your viewing pleasure, risking his live, and Bob gave him a 4!!! A STINKING 4 !!! That’s when things started going wrong with the world! It all started with Bob the Judge!
When i was 13 or 14 i once jumped off a 40' - 50' cliff into a lake below. It didn't look that high from below. Then once i got up there, things were serious. There was a lot of time standing there and thinking about it. Lots of friends down below heckling and urging me to jump. When i lept-off, it felt like a long time falling. The entry hurt pretty good. I guess my point in telling this narrative - 172' is just insanity.
Ha....I was considering a jump from 20-30' in Jamaica. Didn't look bad from the water. Got to the top and looked down. Fuck no. Walked it back. Guy I saw got up there without hesitation and did a back flip and stuck the landing.
Longest i have jumped was 20 meters or about 65 feet. It was probably the most scary thing i have ever done. It felt like i was in the air forever. And my feet hurt like a bitch, balls too.
@@bicepbrah8179 damn......65 feet???? I worked with a guy who was navy veteran. Served on an air craft carrier. He showed me the position they were trained to use if they had to jump off the deck in case of a necessity. (Abandon ship, fire, plane hurdling toward you) i never thought about it until he told me. Jumping off a Nimitz class carrier flight deck would be a long way down too.

TheHawk2001 More Advanced acrobatics and better form, especially on the landing. It was judged like a normal dive in a competition rather than a spectacle dive.
@@kevinfowler9795 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_diving Go to this page and go to the section called "world record high dives". You think they said it was a tied record for the laugh in the video? In the future try not to be such an arrogant prick when you're so clearly wrong.
This guy is my inspiration! I've been in training for years now, so dedicated in trying to beat his record, I have for the last ten years ( And some people won't believe what I'm going to say next ) I have become a window cleaner. At the moment I am up to doing bungalows , I know one day if I'm going to be successful, ive got to take the next stage and try without a ladder.
I remember that day my grandmother and I wrote the bus for hours to get to SeaWorld because she didn't drive then and we wanted to see him break the world record. It was a truly exciting day. I've never prayed so hard for somebody before they jumped off of such a high diving board. Crazy.
I did a dive at 25ft at a water park in Tenerife and I hit the water so hard it nearly tore my balls off. At 172 ft you can die on impact. This guy has balls of steel!
I just today jumped of 10m on my legs and went well then i go up to around 14m (45 ft) and i overcorrected and hurt my damn butt, i have to sit leaning forward currently lol
When I was in my twenties I jumped off an 18 to 20 foot cliff into the water. I hit my head wrong on the water and it injured my right ear to this day. I cannot submerge my head in water much without having problems even presently. This guy's jump into water was about nine times higher than my jump. You could not pay me enough money to do that jump.
@@ElectronicGigabyte yeah it's sketchy, first time i did a 35ft jump i spread my arms before hitting water and my right forearm was red for few days haha
zzmax23 It's not the same proportion. An 11 feet hoop is an increase of 10% of the height, whereas 173 feet is just ~0.5% increase. It would be like increasing the 10 feet hoop to 10 feet and 0.7 inches. I get it's mentally difficult, but that extra foot for the high diving is not very significant.
zzmax23 You can only physically jump so high and I get that, but climbing one more rung of the ladder is not the same as trying to jump one foot higher.
starklombardi you should know that Randy Dickison set a new record of 174'8" at Hong Kong one year later. Only 2'8'' feet more, but he seriously hurt himself. Multiple fracture of the left leg. Jumping off an extra foot is not only mentally difficult, but also carries great risks.
Ryan Swanson you've seen it several times and every time you think he's gonna die? This isn't one of those "choose your ending" books... it's a video. The same thing happens every time. Because that's how video works.
Rick may officially hold the record, but anyone that has survived jumping off the golden gate bridge has technically jumped from a higher elevation than him...fun fact lol
I indirectly know this guy who tried to kill himself by jumping off the GG, and survived. And then he went back up there years later to protest the Iraq war, accidentally fell and died.
He means that he's such a stud with titanium balls that he basically dove into his girlfriends wet snatch, because she was so turned on by his titanium balls. Glad to help..
They should make a show where people who want to commit suicide jump from enormous heights and try to get a good score so their death is not completely useless and that gives them a good opportunity to actually achieve something in their shitty life.
that sounds really funny! people offing themselves from the bridge and 3 judges just sitting giving grades, you get one diver flailing funny and gets a 2! "hot damm you are in rare form"

@@normanacree1635 There are many waste-of-time arguments about the meaning of words. You need to be very brave to climb up there and do that. The dictionary definition of hero is "a person who is admired for their courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities".
Imagine doing a dive from that high up ... on your sofa 🤣
Rick's thoughts: "I broke my toes, shattered my weener busted my nose and my knees feel like they're about to fall out like egg yolks. All I have to do is make it to the car.
Just make it to the car.....😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

Lmfao!
After landing on water that feels like concrete with his legs apart you'd expect him to talk with a few higher notes.
@@rwatson2609 shattering glass with the new tones.
What I don't get is what didn't motivate him to go one foot higher to set a new world record.
173 ft would just be insane
@@Democracy_Manifest exactly, while 172 is just.. ehh. Average?
@Evilpimp it's just the respect to the previous legend.
@@shifinshaji8888 that may be a really good answer and a sportif mind
@Evilpimp maybe the 1st man inspired him to do this insane stunt, he didn't want to take him off.
Mr. Charls was my PE teacher in 9th grade and he did some 15 push-ups with a cervical fracture. Absolute legend!
Did you go to Granada Hills Charter High?
Did he get the cervical fracture from this dive? Or did he get it some other way?
same i had my sophomore year

No doubt. I knew 172 ft was high but when the camera kept panning out I was like O HELL NO!

As they zoomed out at the beginning i thought that lake that showed first was where he was going to jump into and I was like oh shit.... But then they kept zooming out and i was like OH SHIT!!!
I KNOW RIGHT!?
And when the guy jumped he was like ooooohhhhh shhhiiiiitttt!
I thought the same damn thing....
Same here 😂

Yeah hitting the water from that height must be pretty much like jumping off a box with a 500lb load and landing with straight legs.

Guy risking his life and it's worth just 4.5 points according to one. Talking about strict judging
Yeah! I want to see the video clip of the half-wit scoring 4.5....Hes got balls to judge!
I’d give him an 11 for climbing the ladder...geez
I thought this was just for a record. I didn't think they were being judged on something that is so dangerous it could kill them. Weird!
Nine years later, youtube: hey, look at this crazy jump...
Hahahahahahah
Nine years? That looked like it was filmed in 1975.

I am absolutely gobsmacked by this. Never seen it before, wow!!

I would have died if I jumped from 6'
Move Way Back Epic ill get Pokimon Chewing sticks you main event bsr ss
The Goat I would have been dead before I started up the tower, because they would have had to kill me before I would go up there.
Crap! you couldn't even get me to climb up there.
i woulda been dead after 30 feet lol
Those jerks gave him sixes and a 4.5 I would of gave him a 10 just for climbing up that crazy ladder
Francisco Islas that's the size of their own penises
"would of" does not mean the same thing as "would've"
Suraj Opinion is Never Better thanks for the heads up I really appreciate it
LOL, what does someone have to do to get a 10??
TheHawk2001 More Advanced acrobatics and better form, especially on the landing. It was judged like a normal dive in a competition rather than a spectacle dive.
Guy: *Does flips from 172 feet into a pool*
Judge: 4.5!
The judge was judging the dive, not the height. The dive wasn’t that good.

Lmaoooo
Thx for the laugh @ Sr 16 expense 😆

mee too xD

Haaaaaa true.
shit. When they were zooming out, I thought he was jumping into the lake. I was already impressed at that point,...
Same here! The cam just kept zooming out and it's like, wtf?! lol
I knew this was high , but DAM ..... when they showed the side view..😨
Jeannine Gagné - Yeah, I heard 172’ but it didn’t really click until they zoomed out on that shot and then the scale kicked in 😳
I loved the adrenaline I got at races at swim meets. I can imagine what was pumping through his body in this amazing dive.

Sounds like his "brass balls" threw his balance off a tad at entry, I'll cut him some slack!
Yeah no shit LoL hell the only way I'm doing that is if a whole lot of people are chasing me trying to kill me or someone threw me off and then maybe
To this day, they still got 2 tow trucks trying to winch out them big brass cods
I saw that in the summer of 1980. Rick is a champion. Gold Star for for Rick!
Fake. Rick was instantly dead when he hit the water. The guy we see coming out of the water is Rick's twin brother Rock.
Maxxxshop evil twin brother who got all success
More like his twin’s name is roll, amirite?

Interesting, other reports say it was his twin brother, Ross.

A simple calculation estimates that he hit the water at about 105.25 feet per second. That itself is enough for him to earn a straight 10!
when you're up there it feels about 1000x times as high, jesus christ this man is actually insane.

There's no air at 172,000 feet and you would most likely burn up during re-entry 🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fun fact, this man is now my COVID 19 health teacher
yes?
wtf
Is that right.
Legend has it, his balls hang out from under his pants at his ankles. Any truth in that?
What school?
This guy is my inspiration! I've been in training for years now, so dedicated in trying to beat his record, I have for the last ten years ( And some people won't believe what I'm going to say next ) I have become a window cleaner. At the moment I am up to doing bungalows , I know one day if I'm going to be successful, ive got to take the next stage and try without a ladder.
You could be the Alex Honnold of the window cleaning world...free solo..
I remember that day my grandmother and I wrote the bus for hours to get to SeaWorld because she didn't drive then and we wanted to see him break the world record. It was a truly exciting day. I've never prayed so hard for somebody before they jumped off of such a high diving board. Crazy.
Neymar Jr. is a better diver
George Enache who?
RC Crawling and Outdoor Adventures some actor
Penaldo is the best ever, he should be on the Olympic games
George Enache no ROLENDO is better

I did a dive at 25ft at a water park in Tenerife and I hit the water so hard it nearly tore my balls off. At 172 ft you can die on impact. This guy has balls of steel!
The crazy part is these guys aren’t just jumping off feet first. They are doing flips and getting their body in position to land safely. It’s crazy
I just today jumped of 10m on my legs and went well then i go up to around 14m (45 ft) and i overcorrected and hurt my damn butt, i have to sit leaning forward currently lol
Jumping at that height and bellyflopping basically ensures your death
When I was in my twenties I jumped off an 18 to 20 foot cliff into the water. I hit my head wrong on the water and it injured my right ear to this day. I cannot submerge my head in water much without having problems even presently. This guy's jump into water was about nine times higher than my jump. You could not pay me enough money to do that jump.
@@ElectronicGigabyte yeah it's sketchy, first time i did a 35ft jump i spread my arms before hitting water and my right forearm was red for few days haha
His mum said "the sky's the limit," and he's been obsessed ever since.
This is greatness. Wow
world record: gets 4.5
Quim Cervantes, only from a judge sympathetic to the Eastern Bloc.
Why not 173'? Seems really dumb to just tie the record.
I thought exactly same thing. Surely 1 more foot.
They put a lock on the platform.
zzmax23 It's not the same proportion. An 11 feet hoop is an increase of 10% of the height, whereas 173 feet is just ~0.5% increase. It would be like increasing the 10 feet hoop to 10 feet and 0.7 inches. I get it's mentally difficult, but that extra foot for the high diving is not very significant.
zzmax23 You can only physically jump so high and I get that, but climbing one more rung of the ladder is not the same as trying to jump one foot higher.
starklombardi you should know that Randy Dickison set a new record of 174'8" at Hong Kong one year later. Only 2'8'' feet more, but he seriously hurt himself. Multiple fracture of the left leg. Jumping off an extra foot is not only mentally difficult, but also carries great risks.
I've seen this many times and every time I'm thinking "holy fuck, that's a guaranteed death fall man... don't do it!". Mad respect for Rick. =)
Ryan Swanson you've seen it several times and every time you think he's gonna die? This isn't one of those "choose your ending" books... it's a video. The same thing happens every time. Because that's how video works.

I'm 7 months late, but the literal definition of insanity is to repeat something expecting a different outcome
a name I see you're a man of culture.
If I'm a judge, you get a 10 for just standing on that tiny ass platform!
Rick may officially hold the record, but anyone that has survived jumping off the golden gate bridge has technically jumped from a higher elevation than him...fun fact lol
I don't think that qualifies as a "dive". That's just some clowns falling in the water.
I indirectly know this guy who tried to kill himself by jumping off the GG, and survived. And then he went back up there years later to protest the Iraq war, accidentally fell and died.
The Word of Wylie Has anyone?
Haven't some survive??..that should be new record for guts and stupidity..
Mr.annoying yes a few have.
this man deserves a perfect score for not breaking a single bone

Rick: "Nah, just some ice please"
The Golden Gate bridge is 200' high and people jump off of there to commit suicide. This is only 27' lower. Damn thats scary
*28'
They should make a show where people who want to commit suicide jump from enormous heights and try to get a good score so their death is not completely useless and that gives them a good opportunity to actually achieve something in their shitty life.
that sounds really funny! people offing themselves from the bridge and 3 judges just sitting giving grades, you get one diver flailing funny and gets a 2! "hot damm you are in rare form"
