Top diving board / platform, whatever that usually is, 10m? I remember doing it as a kid and being frozen at the top and kind of falling off while clinging to the edge 😂 I’ve done it as an adult now and I’m not bothered at all 👌
C'mon now. Don't be misleading. Betterhelp has plenty of licensed and certified practicing therapists. But there are some who work in the field as a non-certified helper on the platform. But you have the ability to freely change your therapist, virtually, at will. So if you happen to get a therapist that may not have a certification, you can select a different person
They are a scam they took money from me after I canceled my account when all of my therapists kept canceling my appointments. I emailed them about my issues and they said they would not reimburse me but they eventually stop taking money from me. The therapists assigned from the walk in clinic were much better with a zoom platform and literally hunt you down to make sure you okay if you don’t show up to your zoom appointment. I was going through a very rough time with postpartum depression and felt abandoned and alone when using BetterHelp. The therapist almost ruined my marriage. When I used the hospital services majority of my mental health services such as zoom therapy , group therapy and medication was free to minimum cost and reliable. This is only my experience I’m not sure others had a better experience with them but me personally would never recommend betterhelp.
@@tionnamorton8543 well first off, sorry to hear that you had to go thru that with them especially during a rough time in your life. I used them for almost a 2 yr period of mental depression, heartache, straight losing my mind and my therapist and betterhelp straight helped me become sane again. So I hate that that went so south for you. What you should do though is file a complaint with the BBB. It may take a min to get it settled but you deserve your money back for lack of service and/of a billing error.
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.

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. 😮
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.
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.
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.
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
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...
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.
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.
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.
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 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 fell 6 stories in an accident about 20 years ago, and layed on the ground for about 24 hours before anyone found me and called 911. I suffered a few minor fractures, a shattered hip, a fracture to my lower spine and a hemorrhage in the based of my brain above the spine. I probably would've died if they didn't get me to a hospital, though I'm mostly intact today.
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
What about falling into a bog or deep mud? IIRC at least one person who survived a failed parachute landed in a bog, while another landed in mud. Would either be more survivable, given similar body positions, than falling into water?
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?
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
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
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...😮
@@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 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
@@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).

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.
Ok but then how did Captain America jump out of an airplane without a parachute and land in water without any problem? And then, how was he dry when he climbed onto the ship?
Every liquid becomes Non-Newtonian, given enough force. That means on certain liquids, like starch solution you can walk on it as long you apply force to it. Water is no different: if you apply enough force it acts a a solid
I wonder if it's good to have your lungs full of air or completely empty. Probably doesn't make much difference in direct survival, but might affect the chances of a collapsed lung.
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!
What's the highest you've jumped into water?
About 15 meters whilst Canyoning - feet first 👌

So I can’t jump out of a falling plane thousands or hundreds of feet into water and live?
Depends. What's your mass in kg?
Only if "you're almost impossibly lucky"
@@Franimus Whats the strategy on the landing though?
@@saxonrains I guess pencil dive, but maybe hope for the crest of a wave, too?
@@PlasmaRayInSpace 104 kg
To summarise: 50% of people die falling from a height of 33.5m, and 98% of people die falling from a height of 68m.
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.
Finally someone to answer it
Another cool video time to watch :D
Great to see you nice and early again! I hope you enjoyed this one? Any more trips in the name of science since the last video? 😁
@@DebunkedOfficial unfortunately not more trips since then 🥲 but to be prefectly honest CERN is basically the final boss of science trips :D
better help ad was hard to watch
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.
Sorry for all your life tragedies, Stu. Wish you all the best for the future.
That's very kind, thank you.
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

Excellent video. Answered my question about as completely as possible - given the large number of varibles involved. B Thank you for posting this
Thank you for watching and commenting. Glad you enjoyed it and hopefully learnt something new 👍
Can concrete break my fall???
I’m currently typing while skydiving, and my reserve chute is tangled
How did it work out for you?
When on the verge of shitting your panrs, is it better to run as fast as possible to the toilet, or slowly walk towards it?
🤣 I predicament we've all faced at one time 💩
Just crap in your pants and replace the pants and underwear 👍
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
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 💪
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.
Man, i love these videos ❤
Greetings from Germany

I was going to like this video but then I saw BetterHelp.

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.
That thick branch under the water at 15:33 really had me say “yikes” out loud.
😬
0:20 tell that to minecraft.
“Dude, you could have just gave us the giant tootsie rolls. Why must you risk all these stupid things just to keep some tootsie rolls!?”
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 👌
Do one about snow ❤
Interesting idea 👌
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.
Everything said in the video is common sense, nothing was learnt, but it was a pleasure to watch the whole thing 😍
now what if you are spinning while falling? Would it displace more water, making it safer?
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.
Didn't mentioned about pinching your nose which i often see when jumping feet first. Do you really need to do it?
As a lifeguard we had two approaches to this: either blow out air hard as you hit, or suck air in hard enough to hold your nostrils shut.
The high board. First time I dove off one, I smacked the water hard and went at least 10 feet deep.
What about falling into aerated water from a high place? Would it be any different?
It would reduce the impact and mean you travel deeper. Thanks for your question 👍
What about if you dropped a large body of water on someone from an extreme height? Not droplets like rain, but say a pool or hypothetically an ocean.
An excellent question! 🤔🧠
I fell 6 stories in an accident about 20 years ago, and layed on the ground for about 24 hours before anyone found me and called 911. I suffered a few minor fractures, a shattered hip, a fracture to my lower spine and a hemorrhage in the based of my brain above the spine. I probably would've died if they didn't get me to a hospital, though I'm mostly intact today.

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
What about falling into a bog or deep mud? IIRC at least one person who survived a failed parachute landed in a bog, while another landed in mud. Would either be more survivable, given similar body positions, than falling into water?
Please stop using better help. It's a very bad service.
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?
6:04 and one of those exceptions is water. H2O ice is less dense than liquid H2O water.
Weight and other factors would come into play as well
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
3:38 exactly that moment, bro couldn't contain his smile 😅
The best model for this study is a bug hitting your windshield. (splat)
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
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...😮
Wow, what sort of injuries to you incur?
@@DebunkedOfficial I became a circus performer for that Split Second and I was fine 😊
@@chrisregister8021 😮
Wouldn't the salinity and temperature of the water matter too?
Can you break surface tension first though?
Promoting BetterHelp on a video about falling high places is wild.
Funny to see my question referenced @16:03.
Thank you for this video!!! I always pass by a river on my way to school and always ask myself how desth by falling into water cones to be
It’s not the fall that kills ya. It’s the sudden stop.
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).
The best way to survive is to not jump at all. Take notes, guys.
🤔 an interesting thought 😆
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
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.

I wander if waves in the water will also help disperse the impact.
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.
Interesting- thank you!👍
Thank you for watching!
At what speed would the vacuum of space be lethal? Would 80% of the speed of light through a 1 atom per cubic meter place ever be lethal?
So what about diving from heights into a small pool? There is no room or time to slow down in the explained way, and yet people pull it off?
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
Falling onto a hard surface is a common way to die in Russia.
guys im stupid, and i have a question, how do we know what atoms look like even though we cant see them?
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.
Ok but then how did Captain America jump out of an airplane without a parachute and land in water without any problem? And then, how was he dry when he climbed onto the ship?
😆
Every liquid becomes Non-Newtonian, given enough force. That means on certain liquids, like starch solution you can walk on it as long you apply force to it. Water is no different: if you apply enough force it acts a a solid
I wonder if it's good to have your lungs full of air or completely empty. Probably doesn't make much difference in direct survival, but might affect the chances of a collapsed lung.
No different to coming off a motorbike; it's the deceleration that gets you.
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!
