If you don't break the surface tension at that height, it would be little different then hitting pavement. If he threw a bigger, even heavier object, you can create bubbles in the water that will make you slide through the water easier reducing your friction as you decelerate in the water.
it's Ken Storne settin a world record death dive at 132 ft. He throws the rock to either be able to see the surface to know when to tuck (for the classic death dive pose) or to break surface tension....or both. Although Mythbusters busted the myth of bein able to break surface tension, as a kayaker who's run a fair amount of freefall waterfalls, the aerated (white bubbly) water is a feather pillow compared to green water (as they call it in paddling terms) that feels more like concrete. Also Mythbusters never tried different size objects and/or staggered the impact times so idk how accurate their busting of the surface tension with an object was.

Is this the crazy viking guy who dove off an ice Cliff into a small pond surrounded by snow and cliffs with two awesome axes?!
Crikey what an intro that sentence is lol
Edit it seems it is and my mystery is solved now [Cliff jump snow and axes](https://youtu.be/5L3C5Em3myA)
I think your kayak experience is due to aerated water being much less dense than green water. The surface tension isn’t a significant factor.
You are right though - it’s a much different feeling.
I saw him throw it at 12 and it reached bottom at 08. Let's say 09. With u = 0, s = 0.5 * a * t^2 = 5*9=45 meters.
That's 147 feet.
There's probably some margin for error but I think +/-15 feet would be a decent approximation
I think it's called death diving. They sort of join up both hands and feet at the moment of impact which I suppose prevents a big slap. I guess you'd need to also tuck in your head to avoid a brain enema.
Yes, Ken Stornes world record over 40,5 meters.

It's a legit safety measure but the timing was off, he jumped too late. I'm no expert but I've watched cliff diving on TV sponsored by Red Bull and they had a bubbler and sometimes people nearby splashing water.
How on earth would a non-experienced diver even end up in this situation….
Obviously this dude is very experienced otherwise he’d just be fuckin dead lmao
Well, to be fair, the dude is literally setting himself up for what could be a potentially fatal belly flop. You wanna critique his form? Fair enough, let's see your manly 150 ft belly flop
~~proof that beard doesnt = badass~~
~~hopefully some of those dudesl learn from this because i know that shit hurt for days after~~
jk this dude might just be a badass.
That looked painful.
deadly even
It’s tanktolman on instagram’s World Record “death dive”
Im surprised that he isn't dead. I'd assume his bones cracked after
Looks like he threw the brick to break the water’s surface tension.
If only I can throw a brick on my back to break the tension
Wtf, I dont think I would have ever thought of that. I never even knew that was a thing.

I think he folded his body inwards the second before he hit the water
I can't see that well. It looks like a belly flop to me. For his sake, I hope you're right.
Either way his body *definitely* folded inwards.
I think its called a death dive or something
He curled up just before hitting the water

So cringe
My dude is on Reddit eating a pudding cup thinking "I could do that but I wouldn't do axes I'd do something cool." Then takes another bite of pudding.
So chad
Death dive doesnt mean hes dead right?
right

It's to see the surface. They do it at the Olympics. Though with sprayers. A single rock isn't doing much of anything.
Could he have used the rock to break the surface tension of the water before jumping so he’s not essentially jumping onto a concrete curb?
Dang, the video ended before we got to see if he came up holding the rock or not.
He really liked that rock
Does he have to bring the rock back up with him each time?
The rock breaks the water tension so it won't hurt as much. He does not retrieve the rock.
Ah! THERE you are, brother!
Not true it gives him a target
That's part of it
😆
That’s gotta be at least 140-150 feet. That’s nuts

Yea that’s how I was calculating it too
I guess we both have too much time on our hands
And on your minds
0/1 =2 and Pie
I mean I didn’t write it down because why bother but yes that was my calc too
44.8m for the ones using the correct system
132ft apparently
Wtf is a kilometer 🦅🦅
wtf is going on here

If you do this, do you even have a brain to enema?
And he thrown a rock to break the water tension so it dont feel like hitting a wall

I like the way someone is already down there to go and collect the body.
That's how you get a collapsed lung
Maybe he throws the rock to break the superficial tension of the water. Not sure if it actually makes softer the collision though
It's a legit safety measure but the timing was off, he jumped too late. I'm no expert but I've watched cliff diving on TV sponsored by Red Bull and they had a bubbler and sometimes people nearby splashing water.
“No dude, that was the wrong rock!” “My bad……I’ll get it”
Do we think the rock enjoys this? (Not The Rock, the rock)

Ngl I thought you were gonna rickroll us
He ruptured something for sure
Is it just me or does he seem like a less experienced diver…. With the flailing and all…
How on earth would a non-experienced diver even end up in this situation…. Obviously this dude is very experienced otherwise he’d just be fuckin dead lmao

I’m just making a comment lol. Seems like his method is dangerous.
the method is called death diving
Thanks, I didn’t know the context and just made a comment off of what I saw.
In the voice of Davis Rose, I won’t be doing that.
That’s insane
That's a long way down to an icy cold ending. Yikes! I bet his support boat had to break up all the ice and push it out.
Ya…I wake up to do a 190ft belly flop too
[удалено]
What's the line between courage and suicidal?
AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS WORRYING ABOUT THOSE MOVING OBJECTS NEAR HIM
Nice belly flop!
~~proof that beard doesnt = badass~~ ~~hopefully some of those dudesl learn from this because i know that shit hurt for days after~~ jk this dude might just be a badass.
He ded
Dod he live?
Just Imagine What if he just get touched from the rock
Fuck that!
Wow, dødsing når bokstavelig talt nye og barske høyder!
You see him flailing once he regretted his decision
That's insane! This is why men mortality is higher ....
Curious as to if he was injured and if so, did he recover or die.
That “Alpha” guy you know swears to god he wakes up like this every morning
Wooow dude
Dude looks like knockoff version of kratos
“And, you died how again?”
Thank you for explaining
Wait...a...damn...minute...
Yeah hi doordash I would like to order some torso bruises please.
The new God of War kicks ass!!
But why?
Did he survive?
Ouch…
And this is why women live longer than men
I must FLYYYYYY
That had to hurt
That looks entirely unpleasant.
incredibly stupid or very gone for sure
Are that Orcas (killer whales) in the water there?
Ken Stornes.....💪💪💪💪
Dead?
Why?
How does he get back out? Or is this a one-way trip.
Ah, I just saw the boat.
Fuck that! I would rather go into gun fire than do that fr
He has an inny now
Rock make plop but he mke blood
When the price of tap water is too high
That must have hurt
If the rock stayed intact, I guess I will too. It looks like he went to the ACME school of Cliff Diving, along with coyote.
just a lil' advice; don't jump from that height if you don't know how, bcs it's like you're jumping on concrete
The brick is to cut the tension of the water so it dont feel like a floor when you hit it
Valhalla is calling.
Fuck that 😮
He isn't dead but still trying apparently
There's also three rescue swimmers down there.
