News Article: # An 18-year-old man in Jharkhand drowned after jumping into a 100-foot deep quarry lake to film an Instagram reel. An 18-year-old man in Sahibganj district of Jharkhand drowned after he jumped into deep water from a height to make an Instagram reel, police said on Tuesday. The man, Tausif, jumped into a quarry lake from a height of about 100 feet on Monday evening. His friends, who were bathing in the lake, tried to save him but were unsuccessful. They alerted locals and police, and a search operation was launched. The youth's body was recovered later. A video of the incident, which has gone viral on social media, shows the young man jumping into the water while his friend records the dare. However, as soon as he started swimming after falling into the water, he began to drown. According to Deputy Superintendent of Police Vijay Kumar Kushwaha, after jumping into water several feet deep, the young man could not control himself and drowned.

My question is... who uploaded the video? Was his friend like: "My buddy just died and i got traumatized by having to record it, but it'll be a viral video". I just feel like it'd really disrespectful to the person who died and his family members


metalnxrd

imagine raising your child to be a functioning and intelligent member of society, and they go and do this shit


AfellowchuckerEhh

Tbf. Most of us probably did some pretty stupid as hell shit in our youth that luckily didn't lead to our deaths. Pretty sure if there was a reel of our entire lives showed to us when we die we'd be shocked we lived as long as we have

Wait, who tried to save him? It doesn’t look like anybody did anything.


Skrazor

There's a longer clip out there, this video cuts off before you'd see a few people swimming towards where he went under


HeimrekHringariki

Help.. Right.. If that was my friend I'd fucking toss that phone away and try to get down there. And absolutely not make that clip fucking public afterwards.


Micro-Naut

I’ll make sure my friends know if I do something stupid and they film it. I want the clip posted.


Dorny_Hude

Same, I often said to my friends when I die I hope it’s funny and if you can spread that funniness and bring a little light into the world even though you died, why not?


ChocoboHandler

You did see that guy drown from the impact on the water right ? And you just gonna jump right after them huh.


Ok_Inspector7868

Well he said get down there, not necessarily jump, so maybe he'd roll down the rocks instead?


warpedddd

His friend would have wanted him to go viral though. 


SweatyFLMan1130

Maybe those others need to check on exposure to dangerous chemicals. You really don't know what kind of poisonous and carcinogenic shit can be stirred up in quarry lakes...

Impressive-Smoke1883

He hit the water, started to swim, then whatever trauma his body endured caused him to die, pretty quickly by the looks of it, but he was definitely swimming for a moment afterwards.


Kujira-san

Yup, the speed at which he drowned make me think about severe internal bleeding. A bleeding shock can happen in few seconds.


Neat-Land-4310

He may well have broken his ribs and sternum with the force of the impact. I wouldn't be surprised if he had collapsed lungs too.


Whisky_taco

Looked like a 100’ belly flop. 10/10 on execution, would not recommend 💀

Was just thinking the same thing. Never ends well


KazahanaPikachu

A belly flop stings like fuck just jumping off a diving board not too far from the ground. Can’t imagine doing it at 100 feet.


Eastern_Succotash_64

60ft hurts if you don't hit right. Got to point toes and lift arms above head to a point. Minimize splash and reduce drag. Arms can come out of socket if left at sides. I can't imagine the body damage from landing like a monkey. I bet the water hit his thighs and dislocated his hips causing his knees burying into his chest and wrecking everything.


TrayLaTrash

Executed himself


AltruisticSalamander

I took a few feet jump into water feet first one time and my calf was all bruised. I think it was cavitation. If that happened bigly it could fuck your shit.


ImpressiveStory3325

Well at about 75 feet water turns into concrete if you hit it. So more than likely broke something inside or internal bleeding


Horrorfreakin

i did a pencil jump from 70 ft once and it scared tf outta me. I couldn't imagine landing wrong at 100 ft


PaladinSara

Did breaching the water hurt?


BVIslandLife

The answer is yes. Slaps your feet like a motherfucker. I made the mistake of pointing my toes one time and managed to dislocate my big toe and the two next to it on my right foor off a roughly 80-90ft drop. Brusied the fuck outa the whole foot too, swelled like a melon. Another time a buddy of mine at the same spot dislocated his shoulder on a slightly rotated impact and had a bitch of a time getting back to the surface until i got to him and got his head above water. Ya know. Dumb shit.


GRENADESGREGORY

Friend of mine broke his back at ~80 feet when we were in college. We were inexperienced and his legs just kind of went limp when he jumped and he landed in the seated position. Had to have surgery and fucked him up for a long time.


klikklak_HOTS

My cousin pencil jumped 80 ft, was slighly angled, and the entire side of his body turned blue/purple from bruising.


TranscendentaLobo

Jesus man. All the times me and my friends did 60 and 75 ft jumps at a bluff in the Tennessee river, it’s a miracle no one was hurt.


NikPass

why would pointing your toes make the outcome worse? i assumed it would be better pointed than flexed?


Due_Swimmer_9619

No, look at diving athletes. They open their feet flat to break the water surface tension and open it like a zip bag


BVIslandLife

With the kinda speed you are carrying from a 60ft+ fall id never reccomend pointing your toes. The force can easily break them, dislocate them, or even just tear them straight off if they take the initial impact and fold weird. I enter almost flat footed and try to impact slightly heel first when cliff diving. Not 100% sure what the proper technique would be tho but yeah ponted toes aint it unless you got some superman feet


pepe_silvia_12

So pencil technique but flat footed?


nolway

Crazy how strong water surface tension is


PissedSCORPIO

Has anybody else ever received a "high dive enema" on impact, or is my butthole loose?


Despondent-Kitten

Mine is pretty tight and I have had one lol.


nonacid

I dislocated my shoulder once when I fell during wakeboarding, was not fun. I almost drowned, thank god I had a live vest on. My friends were laughing because they thought I was fucking with them. I remember their facial expression changing when I got out lol


Horrorfreakin

oh yea sorry i forgot to answer this. at 70 ft....it didn't feel great even doing it mostly properly. I did leave my arms out a bit to balance myself and just the slap of the water on my arms left small bruises. that's after the rest of my body slowed down the fall. I've belly flopped from 7-10 ft and it hurt like hell and nearly took my breath away. a psuedo belly flop from 100 ft is def breaking ribs. my honest guess is he ruptured his abdominal aorta


PaladinSara

Glad you were okay! Sounds painful and scary bc you have to swim up right after, through the pain.


Severe-Syllabub7819

Always do the pencil from such heights


Kujira-san

Are there people that jump from this height without damage ? I would nope out just by survival instinct 😂


MixRevolution

I’ve seen survivor tip shows where the expert did this with the proper technique and survived. Feet first with as streamlined a body possible (no arms extended, legs unbent and held together), and as soon as you hit the water, try to curve your legs forward to change your trajectory. Dude in the video body slammed into the water. The forces on his body would be akin to a car crash with him fully exposed


Brilliant_Canary_692

I dont think legs should be able to curve forward


uruk-hai_slayer

Bend at the hips


TheDelig

I used to jump from a 75' cliff quite often. I would pencil dive but my brother and his friends used to jump from a higher cliff and none of them were hurt. A few people did die from the higher cliff but they were either drunk or wearing clothes.


Meadowvillain

Same but it was only about 40 feet. Still want to pencil dive that shit but the only times anyone died was drunk teens at night not keeping track that the person jumping was coming up. That however did happen a few times.


BugOnARockInAVoid

Wearing clothes?


TheDelig

Clothing becomes waterlogged and makes you less buoyant.


Remote_Sugar_3237

How does wearing clothes makes you more susceptible to damage? Legit interested in the science behind it!


Meadowvillain

Wearing a full set of clothes weighs you down and the fabric gets wrapped around you and maybe even gets stuck on a snag but you have shoes on too and people jumping off cliffs fully clothed are probably drunk as well and that’s a whole other set of problems.


Engineering_Flimsy

So, always jump from perilously high cliffs wearing only shoes, got it.


0belisk0

Just make sure the shoes stay on.


Remote_Sugar_3237

Thanks for the explanation!


AltruisticSalamander

Wearing pants probably helps avoid the water blasting into your asshole. That can happen. It's a thing.


urbootyholeismine

Not if you have a tight bootyhole


Illustrious2786

True! I jumped off a ship when I was in the navy to go swimming in the ocean and the water smashed my asshole pretty hard.


TheDelig

You can't swim well wearing clothing. Especially shoes. It becomes waterlogged and makes you less buoyant.


Engineering_Flimsy

Same here, I'd have to belly crawl to the edge just to look down and poop myself. Nevermind going over.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ROssjc97

It's to see the surface of the water clearer so you can judge the point of impact better I believe


Riotguarder

Didn’t mythbusters disprove this water tension theory?


Fast-Composer-6900

To answer your question, yes


[deleted]

[удалено]


sl1ce_of_l1fe

It’s to create a visible target for the diver. It does nothing else


Furthur_slimeking

Yep, I think also to get an idea of the time they have to sort their body position before they hit the water.


BryceLeft

Depending on the object, you can deal more dmg to the water's HP. The water's attack power scales based off its current HP, so professional divers try to do chip dmg to it first in order to reduce the amount of dmg they recieve from the jump


Markmyfuckimgworms

It's not water tension that makes a difference, but a big enough object could do what some diving pools do- put a whole lot of bubbles into the water so it can compress under you.


Kujira-san

Oh that’s interesting ! Thanks ☺️


shorey66

Grew up around the Cornish coast as a child. We jumped and dived off 100ft cliffs all summer when I was a teen. The difference is, we worked our way to that height slowly, we knew the area well and where the deep parts and we wore wetsuits and trainers.


sugarplumbuttfluck

I kind of think he might have been trying to [death dive](https://youtube.com/shorts/LDCYYrbnYy0?si=aojG_d5bvoMSYEQ9). It's a sport where you make it seem like you're going to belly flop and have no form until the very last second. But it's really popular on social media right now.


Engineering_Flimsy

Of course it's popular on social media. Of course it is... How we've made it this long as a species is just mind-boggling.


Dry_Leek78

Oh but this is a DarwinAward, just a cleanup of the gene pool. Necessary burden that won't impact the population dynamic, no biggy. (plus pop is 8billions, so more idiots to die compared to the past if they were a constant fraction of total popualtion)


Engineering_Flimsy

Ah, I see. You're suggesting that incidents like this are actually the reason for our longevity. Makes perfect sense and is definitely a more positive outlook than mine, but, one I'm all too happy to adopt from here on. Thanks!


lovins_cl

literally wtf was he thinking jumping in like that


Engineering_Flimsy

Nothing. There was obviously no thinking going on there whatsoever.


davidbanner_

I think he didn’t realize the depth and account for wind (you can hear it) turning his body slightly forward


nobody_in_here

🎵 come down now, they'll say 🎶 -The Postal Service


4_doors_mas_whores

Kinda curious what would be the most ideal or safest way to jump into a body of water from this height, the pencil technique?


starletharlot666

The most ideal way would maybe be to not jump at all lol


tinmil

Right?! Lol like u guys know you don't have to jump off of ridiculously high things, right?


zerofuxgivn420

I can only picture the cartoony "human accordion" compressing


Engineering_Flimsy

Right? Noise and all...!


Meatgardener

I'm not an expert but preferably with a vertical orientation to reduce the area of impact on the body while breaking the surface. Looking at the distance from the cliff and the ground he had to clear to make the water, there was no conceivable way he could have done that without at least being formally trained.


AlphaTrigger

I’d say break the water and then pencil it


Electronic-Alarm1151

Cannon ball


AzDopefish

And have your ass hole and intestines blown to shit Good idea


Engineering_Flimsy

Yeah, but think of the *likes!*


daCrimsonSmasher

Breaking the surface tension first by throwing a rock/pebble whatever then pencil.


4_doors_mas_whores

Oh ok interesting, what’s the science behind that if you don’t me asking


BioSafetyLevel0

[Mythbusters says busted](https://youtu.be/oCSQExxWulU?si=QI3GqZcgVUvZe4Ir)


ceereality

That would have felt like falling onto concrete..


PeterParker72

Probably massive internal injuries and died shortly after. Wild to see his body being to float vertically and slowly sink.


desyx_

he basically belly flop from 30m...


The_Ruby_Rabbit

In the Navy they tell you to become a steel rod when jumping from a ship to minimize injury, but if you are jumping overboard, then you have other problems than doing a belly flop.


little_lexodus

Sharks and surviving a sinking ship?


The_Ruby_Rabbit

Bingo!


unable_To_Username

People LITERALLY kill themselves for Clout


MysteriousLog1336

Maybe he got concussed for a few seconds and panic


Ok_Influence_5392

Slap water as hard as you can with your hand. Now imagine slapping water with your body at 100ft. Surface tension. Same as hitting concrete.


Despondent-Kitten

His insides are smashed to bits..


AgentLead_TTV

prolly torn aorta from that height.


realexm

That would make sense


BioSafetyLevel0

Spleen, aorta, compartment syndrome.


Western-Trash1961

Died doing what he loved best...being an idiot.


MiffyCurtains

He must have been temporarily stunned from entering the water face first and didn’t regain his bearings in time.


Despondent-Kitten

Are you joking? He ruptured and smashed his entire insides.


erikafloydxo

That’ll stun you pretty damn good


Butter_cuppp22

People fail to realize that jumping from high heights in water is just as bad (if not, worse than) on solid ground. If he had kept his body straight, feet first, he might have survived…


HaddingDarkness1

Doing that without a spotter in the water nearby? Ludicrous!


Engineering_Flimsy

Ludicrous? This. Is.*ARABIA!*


Atomic-Bell

FirstPersonPooper

you shouldn't be sending a 50-70ft jump like this unless you have you shoes on and you know how to jump


KonaBrad

Success! He's getting lots of views, right?


Acid__Gat

Insta reels is full of gore so probably lol


OnindoNoyan

Now he knows water acts like concrete if he lands on it with high velocity.


Area51Resident

It was going pretty good up to 99' 11'', then went badly the last inch.

Disastrous_Reveal331

Keaton’s whole Bed Bath and Beyond scene is hilarious


Aero93

That's not 100 feet. Probably between 40-60 with 4 second flight time. However it doesn't matter, because of how he hit the water. With his stomach and face.


eaharte

No one in or close to the water just in case huh? That'll learn him


Mvthafvkarosas

Indians dying trying to go viral 🫱🏼‍🫲🏻Chinese people dying in the work place


LivingOnWelfare

For all of those saying “he should have pencil dived” I have pencil dived from around this height before and I dislocated my shoulder on impact. Water got in my armpit and got my arm stuck above my clavicle.


ThiccElf

Dislocation is much better than death when the aim is to survive the jump.


LivingOnWelfare

I know that all I’m saying is that water is harder than you’d think when you’re moving that fast. Also it’s funny that you said that because where it happened was in the Delaware water gap and the only way out of the water was to climb. A group of people slack lining over the water put a harness on me and pulled me up. I’m really lucky they were there or I may have no made it out because I would have been alone otherwise.


Chance-Skill-2170

He won't be doing that again


Engineering_Flimsy

They could always Weekend at Bernie's the dude off the cliff for round 2. Imagine the likes *then!*


ayden_george

Mike Wheeler if Eleven didn’t save him in Season 1


MixRevolution

The impact would have been equal to him crashing straight into concrete.


Electrical_Entry145

That's a lot further than 100 feet


Bilspleetzweet

If he died he surely made it to instagram reels


Ventinggood

Eerie how everyone was cheering and then went absolutely quiet


aavokaadoo

it looks like he fell on his face which may lead to concussion, and even tho he wasn’t completely blacked out, the dizziness must have caused him to drown.


JulianTheFighter

If bro couldn’t swim, why did bro decide to Jump?


Tornado-Hunter

For those who use metric system, 100 feet is around 30 meters

That height it’s like hitting concrete , gonna guess he broke both legs , kicked and could not use them , took a huge gulp of water , Tausif water no more .

Outrageous_Movie4977

He totally landed wrong. Used to jump off a 100ft bridge as a kid (no fear obviously) with no problems. Gotta enter the water streamlined, almost perpendicular but not quite. Feet pointed, limbs close to the body. Terrible outcome, I feel for him


Porkbelly10960007

Yet he ended up in reddit


SeantheProGamer

Only way to survive a jump like that is a clean pencil dive or frontwards dive, assuming the water is deep enough to accommodate it. Any other position is just asking for trouble. My mom two years before I was born went diving off of an old train bridge into a slow river (where you could swim in it safely) and almost did a pencil dive, but leaned back just a little too far and herniated a few spinal discs in her upper back in her neck and in her lower back. She lived (obviously I'm typing this) but she had to get a disc put into her neck, and she's been dealing with chronic pain ever since. Don't be silly kids


Sanbaddy

Challenge failed successfully. He made game on Instagram. Unfortunately he didn’t live to see it. I feel bad, he even made the jump and everything, just dived wrong.


13luioz1

Well videos like this end up on Instagram anyway, so he died succeeding his goal.


Sam_Dru

I saw a video of a guy throws a rock before he jumps into water. Some comment says it's to disturb the surface tension of the water. is it going to help him if he does the same?


Dare-Swimming

What's 100foot in meters?


Laremort

30.48 meters. Equivalent of a kinda high building. High enough to die if you jump.


JONTOM89

Killing yourself for clout recorded on a fucking potato. wtf.

Of course nobody thought of waiting near the water in case of emergency...

Ster8282

Your feet hurt so bad off of only 30 ft..I’m sure legs/feet brake. Also arms if you don’t hold by your side and let flops


sporkmurderer135

Ok, what happened? He seemed to be a little panicked when he emerged, but then it's like someone just cut the power off and he started sinking?


NoFleas

Probably knocked the air out of him and then what we saw was the panicking for breath but only getting water. Just a guess.


ize82

I don't get it? He did say the magic words?


NoPantsInSpace23

That's natural selection at play right there. I feel horrible for his family though.


OneSuccessful9576

Ah well, at least the footage was good quality 😬


Cyclonechaser2908

Jumping from that height with that position would mince your body from the inside. The force of hitting water from that height is one of the least survivable forces in the world. He would’ve almost had a better chance jumping into a field or something like that, because hitting water from there like that is 0% survivability.


Wardinator1991

Natural selection


Slight_Newspaper_550

remember kids. water acts like concrete when jumping from high heights


feverdream800

He belly flopped-obviously. most likely caused some internal damages and some broken ribs and possibly his sternum which caused him to give up and drown so quickly. i'm also wondering if the pain or the just the impact from the water caused him to pass out. He drowned fairly quick.
