What's the highest you've jumped into water?
About 15 meters whilst Canyoning - feet first 👌
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 👌
@@learnmoreabout I love Canyoning! Landed wrong once though from about 8 meters and felt like I'd had a sort of rushed colonic irrigation 😭😆
0 meters. I'm not crazy. 😂
Somewhere between 20 and 30 feet is what I'd say:) Well, now I know feet first up to 100 feet:) HA!
but is there a height from which falling onto concrete feels like falling onto water?
🤣🤣🤣
Well yes at 0.1 mm
@@DebunkedOfficialwell, if you look at forces this is possible
At what height would peak force be the same
No. Terminal velocity is a thing
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.
5. Kiss your ass goodbye
@@Whiteboykun They call that a somersault...
On step 2, 1 hand goes on your nose to pinch, and the other arm crosses and locks it while you grab your life jacket.
That's... all good advice!
Yes. 71.21 feet.
Thank you. NEXT!
When falling into water it's not the deceleration that kills me, it's the incapability to swim that kills me.
😬 that's definitely a factor to consider
Learn to swim. You live on a ball where the surface is mostly water. Sounds like something useful yo know. Your parents screwed up.
@@voradorhylden3410 it’s probably not their parents fault, that’s kinda rude tbh
@@voradorhylden3410 its a joke, dude
I don’t know to swim same
7:29 is where the video starts
thank you
THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME SKIP THE YAPPING ESSAY
@@onquarter
“Surface tension” is a misconception. It has essentially nothing to do with the impact forces, which as stated are inertia / acceleration (of the water) effects exerting “equal and opposite” forces on the body.
Surface tension is caused by imbalanced attraction forces within the _one molecule thick_ surface layer of any bubble in, drop of, or bulk water.
you’re a godsend
thanks a lot
Yes it can be fatal, but water way to go.

This has nothing with surviving falls
@barnabasstoneburg7740 yeah true. While sure, better help might be bad, but I'm here for the actual video and comments about the actual video.
@veosult9066the sponsored segment is part of the video, it’s impossible to separate
@@darkithnamgedrf9495 Sorry, but while Better Help is bad, I didn't know that until I read the comments. I just ignored and skipped over the sponsor part.
I just focused on the actual topic part of the video.
@veosult9066 But why are you mad about people voicing there dislike of the sponsor in the comments? That’s a part of the video, the video is explicitly endorsing better help. Anyone who saw that ad and was influenced into using better help is caused directly from watching this video.
I remember Norm Macdonald sorting cliff divers into two categories - “grand champion” and “stuff on a rock.”
I just want to know what the animated protagonist has done to constantly be wanted dead
😆 Poor 'Stick' may he rest in peace... until the next video!

Don't worry, it's not a real animated figure, it's all done with stunt animations and CGI, carefully crafted to look like a helpless, accident prone animated figure. No animated figures were harmed during the making of this video. 😂
They are probably a periodist
@@another3997 Phew !
Better help is a scam. Their "therapists" arent actually qualified
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.
And they cost three times what the psychiatrist and psychologist own the street from me charges.
You don't have to be technically qualified to be educated and helpful.
Please stop schilling BetterHelp
I see it everywhere
Yes, they sell what you say in the sessions to 3rd parties and the so called "therapists" aren't even vetted and on top of that they make it hard for you to cancel
What the hell is schilling
@@England91 All you need to do now is provide actual evidence to back up your claims. Presumably you HAVE evidence and are not just spreading ill informed gossip or malicious rumours?
@@another3997 well you can't post links in the comments section so I can't
Please don't take betterHelp sponsors. They are not only a scam and have bad privacy policies, but they are a danger to people who genuinely need help.
I liked the video, but can’t subscribe because of Better help. Sorry.

An ironworker fell off the Ambassador bridge (43 meters) in Ontario in 2023 and survived, luckily someone saw him fall and rescues were here in minutes because he was incapacitated.
I grew up in windsor haha always wanted to dive off it, maybe not now lol
I remember that! Hi from Detroit
Promoting BetterHelp on a video about falling high places is wild.
💀💀💀
Sorry for all your life tragedies, Stu. Wish you all the best for the future.
That's very kind, thank you.
Wasn't betterhelp involved in a controversy a few years back?
Yep and I unsub from any betterhelp adverts because it takes half a second to know this. Hopefully betterhelp is paying so much as to outweight that.
They still are.
Still are, for selling patient data and having non-qualified therapists.
We have partnered with this sponsor with genuinely good intentions to raise awareness of mental health issues and to let those that may be struggling know that they are not alone.
They remain appalling and this lot just took the money to shill for them.
It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the bottom.
The optimist falling off the top of the building was heard at every floor, saying “I’m fine so far!”
To summarise: 50% of people die falling from a height of 33.5m, and 98% of people die falling from a height of 68m.
So the LD50 of gravity is 33.5m when landing on water.
Also fun fact: there is no height that 100% of people survive falling from.
Nope: If you do fall, you'll wanna take note of body position too.
I don't want to fall even 2 meters.
Thx for the summary.
Better help is a scam, please don't advertise them.

I don't think you had ill-will about this, but if someone does indeed need that type of service "BetterHelp" is literally the worst thing you can show them
Not only will they not recive the help they need, they are gonna get scammed both financially and emotionally
I think that type of stuff is actually dangerous, it can push some one over the edge
If you keep advertising them im not gonna watch your channel anymore
If you're down bad and need a sponsor there's always RAID SHADOW LEGENDS! lol
@DebunkedOfficial When intentions and actions don't match, there's a huge problem. Your intention isn't shared by your sponsor.
@@microwavetransformer6378 He probably signed a contract and can't cancel or say anything without ruining him financially or something.
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.
😮 That must have been scary and very painful, I'm glad you survived and hopefully there were no long term injuries? Thanks for sharing your story
"In the fairest"?
@thegreatchaos13 depending on context it can translate "in the fairest" or "to the fairest". The intended context is "to the fairest" inscribed on a golden apple in Greek mythology. Google "Greek mythology golden apple" for context. You have an inquiring mind, 👍.
damn, i hope youre okay now.
A while ago BBC TV showed people diving 90 feet off a cliff in Cornwall into the sea.
They went down almost vertically with their bodies straight. They had their hands out locked together as one fist to hit the water first and make a space for their head.
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
Suppose you could go full cannonball and hope to skip like a stone!
A handful of people have jumped off the Golden Gate and survived, but an extremely small percentage. There's an interview of a survivor on RUclips.
40 so far as of Today 😂
I attempted to weigh the Golden Gate Bridge once.
Walking across, I leaned over the railing and thumped several cables, timing the wave pulses up and back. From the period(s) and the length(s) of each I sampled, the linear density of the cabling - estimated from cable diameter and packing density of the steel strands - , and number of cables holding up the entire deck, one can with a simple equation get a reasonable estimate of the cable tension, I.e. the weight it supported, and thus the deck’s mass - assuming they were all in equal tension. Unfortunately, I couldn’t at the time come up with a way to calculate the lengths of my sampled cables as they hung from the parabolic main cable bundles.
Now, I would fabricate a 45° sighting tool, and pace the isosceles equivalent off on the sidewalk or find a likely analog such as the slabs of walkway concrete being some typical length, say, 6 feet. Geometry in service to Physics. I was trying to do this with only what I had on hand and in my head; the specific gravity of steel, my watch, the (poorly remembered, partially re-derived) equation, etc.
As I walked back along the shore, I met a lady with a large video camera on a tripod trained on the span. She said they were filming ‘a year in the life of the bridge’ as a movie. I tend to have many odd things I am curious about, so while unusual, that didn’t seem a particularly strange thing to me.
I told her what I had been doing and why, and she said “I watched you.”
After a little chit chat, I went on my way.
A year or two later, the movie had its theatrical release, and it turned out to be a documentary about the bridge’s propensity to be a site for ’jumpers’. Suddenly it made a lot more sense. I’m sure any time they spotted a possible checking out of the scene of proposed action, they alerted the appropriate parties.
I’ll _bet_ she watched me !
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.
Yes, I was thinking the advice should include, "go down face down (like lying down) to minimize velocity, then switch to feet first before you hit the water." I have no idea how hard it would be to make that switch, or how much time you would need.
Ex skydiver here: Orientation would only affect your speed at, or near, terminal velocity, when the air resistance becomes significant. This would occur about 6 or seven seconds after jumping. Actual terminal velocity occurs at about 10 seconds or so, if in a flat, face down posture; it would be about 120 mph.
@@DerekCroxtonWestphalia
Re skydiver’s note:
That’s not advisable to attempt. Negligible gain, highly unlikely to have a good entry.
I have always thought about this, thank you!
You're welcome, I'm glad you learnt something new!
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.
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.
Who is going to give the person who conducts the “Study” the information?
The dead person? They’re the only ones who have the answers. Lol
Russian women fell over a thousand feet from a plane landed in a forest with those tall trees landed in the snow and lived
@@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.
I haven't seen your channel, but this video was really good! I'm only bothered by the betterhelp sponsorship because it means that you either didn't do research on the product that you were suggesting to your audience, or you didn't care about the fact the company is deeply unethical. I will continue to check out the channel but I hope you look into companies further, in the future.

That was the most comprehensive video I have seen on this subject.
Thank you 😊 We're glad you think so
@@DebunkedOfficial Truly a good video. One aspect that IMHO could have gotten a bit more attention is the fact that often the greatest danger is blacking out on impact / air being forced out of the lungs, expecially when e.g. landing flat on your back. That's another reason trying to end up in the pencil position is so important.
@@meckerhesseausfrankfurt4019 Thanks for your comment. We did write more about this originally but couldn't find enough recorded evidence to reference or a study that explored this.
@@DebunkedOfficial Thank you for your insightful and logical reply. Totally understandable. I heard about this from a TV format which featured high diving competitions and the safety measures they have to take. The rescue divers and EMTs on the scene all quoted this as the biggest danger. But I couldn't name the format after what must have been 2-3 years since I saw it and it certainly doesn't rise to the standard of a scientific study. Neither does my own anecdotal evidence of once slipping on the 10m platform and landing flat on my back when I hit the water surface. Knocked the wind right out of me... talk about a sinking feeling 🤣
I love how the most replayed part of a video always occurs right after the sponsor segment finishes.
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.
It’s fascinating to see this as a metaphor to the adaptability of the mind.

So many questions -
1: What if you throw a bowling ball ahead of you to disrupt the surface?
2: What if you wear 1M Long Cone-shaped shoes to pierce the water?
3: What kind of "Body Suit" would you need to survive a water entry from any height?
Hear me out -
Think - "I'm a spy, I need to stealthily jump from a plane into a harbor - and not use a parachute where everyone can see me/shoot at me."
1. Thick Modified Wet Suit with some rigidity to protect the body and add flotation.
2. A "Rigid Shield" that I hold above my head to slow my decent and give me some flight control.
3. Those "1 Meter Long Cone Shaped Shoes" I queried about above. They kick off once in the water and sink.
4. Streamlined helmet to protect the head that has air sacs for several breaths underwater.
Probably been done. I don't watch a lot of movies/series/video games. But I would love to see a channel like this with some engineers/physicists noting the needed dimensions/materials of said suit.
BetterHelp is part of the mental health problem. You can't say you advocate for Mental Health while partnering with something like that.
That aside, a great and informative video in which I actually learnt a lot of new things!
You only think you learned new or any things because none of us know whether any of this load of crap is anything more than a load of crap.

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.
As a kid I determined that to be about 2 meters when you land on your belly!
Can I ask about how deadly a ricochet can be?
A great question! Fan suggestions are proving quite popular at the moment, so watch this space...
@@DebunkedOfficialwaiting for the answer 07
I can answer that. As a young fool, I aimed my rifle at a concrete wall four metres away, point blank, and the bullet came directly back and struck my belt buckle, very hard. If it were not for that belt buckle I would have had at least a serious stomach injury. Had the ricochet been at greater angle deflection, I would have been dead. The wider the angle the more velocity and momentum retained by the slug. So, pretty much any recochet is deadly unless the bullet is impeded by a second obstacle; preferably a solid one.
@@tonyryan43
What kind of bullet?
I suspect solid lead would just “Splat” in an inelastic collision.
@@For_What_It-s_Worth That's what I erroneously thought. Apparently not. This was a standard .22 solid lead bullet.

2 Esdras 7:75
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75

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.
Across from that area was Galanbagbo Crazemoilafasse Bay which was sort of similar
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 💪
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

This became a question for me when I was in elementary school. They had just building a big bridge over the channel into Corpus Christi harbor, late 50's, and someone fell off landing in the water. He didn't survive the fall.
BTW, love your graphics!
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.
When I was in A&P aircraft school I had an instructor who stated categorically water was harder than land. When challenged he replied "ever see a crater in a lake?"
better help are scammers
I read years ago that the best orientation to enter the water is feet first, hands over head and leaning back slightly. If jumping into shallow water, one needs to plane out the instant the water is hit - that is, get the motion from up-down to go forward feet first parallel to the bottom.
Finally someone to answer it
This was awesome, cheers
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.

Very quality content.
Can concrete break my fall???
I’m currently typing while skydiving, and my reserve chute is tangled
How did it work out for you?
@@DebunkedOfficial Ayee no respnse. Doesn't look good
It'll definitely break your fall, the question really is what will it break alongside your fall
The one instance where I remember somebody a 226 foot foot was about 10 years ago on the Golden Gate Bridge. A high school class was getting a tour of the bridge, and some kids said to his classmate, “watch this,” and climbed over the railing. He was in miraculously good shape when he was pulled out of the water, although I think that was the one you referenced who had bruising and a collapsed lung. He also got in a lot of trouble.
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! 🤔🧠
He needs to make a vid about that
Everything said in the video is common sense, nothing was learnt, but it was a pleasure to watch the whole thing 😍
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?
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 👌
Unsubbed for betterhelp sponsor. The only way channels take better sponsorships is if it effects their bottom line
Channels already take D tier sponsorships anyways, but at least D tier would be an upgrade

Thank you for watching and commenting. Glad you enjoyed it and hopefully learnt something new 👍
Do one about snow ❤
Interesting idea 👌
One missed question is if dropping an object like a big rock to break surface tension would help jumping off high heights like cliffs. Would have been interesting to know if it actually does anything

When the Piper Alpha oil platform melted down in 1988 a few of the survivors had jumped from the helicopter landing deck which was 53 metres (174 feet) above the sea. Others that jumped from this height did not make it.
Shame of the BetterHelp video. Especially given the recent viral BetterHelp scandal update video on YT this week showing they’re no better and dying off and desperate for new customers as they’re at the lowest in years.
Shilling for BetterHelp earns this video many dislikes and rightfully so. Doesn’t matter about the quality of the video.
I'm only me, but I'd rather choose self-respect rather than $52
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.
Bro, why are you sponsoring by BetterHelp? Isn't it a scam?
Yes it is a scam. They aren't allowed to say anything bad about them because they paid this channel to shill them and probably would void the contract. That's why they copy paste the same generic reply on all comments about the issue.
No they arent
@@mariomario1462 Can you shut the hell up for once? I see you on every comment about the betterhelp sponsor, and you're (unsuccessfully) trying to prove them wrong. It almost looks like you've been hired by them to try to prove people wrong about betterhelp. I AM TIRED OF SEEING YOU. PLEASE STOP.

Vincent Kelly who survived falling from the Sydney Harbour Bridge while working on its construction in October 1930. On 23 October 1930, boilermaker Vincent Kelly was using a heavy riveting gun on the bridge's road deck when he slipped and fell more than 55 metres into the harbour below.
Please stop using better help. It's a very bad service.
Great video. I can't help but notice that the vocal style of this guy is clearly influenced by *lowers voice pitch emphatically* Jeremy Clarkson. The most distinctive style, in the WORLD. :] Glad to have discovered you regardless really interesting content.
Anyone else thought he had a chunk taken out of him at first glance? 9:25
Dude, holy crap. I literally thought that half of his side had been sliced off and those two things sticking out were his ribs lmao. I still don't know what those things sticking out are but now they definitely look like wood and not like ribs haha.
The high board. First time I dove off one, I smacked the water hard and went at least 10 feet deep.
The best way to survive is to not jump at all. Take notes, guys.
🤔 an interesting thought 😆
Yeah, but what if someone Double Dog Dares you? See, it's not that easy to "not jump at all", is it?
I saw a show on this topic on TV (so it must be true) about 20 years ago...and they said it's best to keep your arms tucked into your chest in an attempt to keep the water from hitting your chin and causing a whiplash affect on the neck...as well as keeping water from rushing up your nose and causing other harms from that. A buddy of mine was in the Marines and in their training sessions he got some whiplash effects due to his being in full gear (including loaded backpack) when going off the high dive into a pool and the water kept knocking his helmet backward upon impact. He still feels the effect of that 20 years later. That's a lot of weight coming into the water from only 30 feet up...but can still hurt you.
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?

Of course they completely ignore any comment mentioning the sponsor. For shame Debunked, for shame
We have partnered with this sponsor with genuinely good intentions to raise awareness of mental health issues and to let those that may be struggling know that they are not alone.
And they give the same generic response.
@@TurfShifterThey sure care about reminding us we're not alone but won't put in any effort beyond ctrlc ctrlv to talk to us. Yeah, they certainly care

@@philosopherkingzant2037 I honestly would've preferred if they ignored us instead of copypasting the exact same youtuber apology, if they actually cared they would admit they messed up and remove the sponsor links
The most important thing no one is mentioning is to have a kind of parachute to slow the fall like a bag, a wooden board or a bed tray.

I was going to like this video but then I saw BetterHelp.
Same
Yes, the maximum depth into water appears to go up logarithmically (very slowly), while the max speed goes up with the square root. So 10 times the height results in only a bit more depth to slow down in but 3x the speed.
better help ad was hard to watch
