I am really surprised that ladder was so stable under the weight of his titanium balls

"Since this jump, people have jumped from higher, but never without sustaining injuries, and completing a full flip in the air, which are the rules of diving."

He touched water at 115 km/h (not considering air resistance). If he hadn't balls of steel, they would be cracked.

Ngl it’s kinda weird that falling into water became a sport

I love the fact that he is “attempting” a world record…. No. If he jumps - he does it…. Whether or not he survives isn’t relevant to the record is it?

What do they mean, “attempting” the world record dive? If he hit the water isn’t that enough? It’s not like he might miss the ground, get real.

In 1983, Bruce Boccia made an attempt to tie the world record for high dive at Sea World in San Diego. You can see him here, attempting to jump from a height of 172 ft (52.4 m). The woman on the left is his mom, watching nervously.

This was Rick Winters in 1983, climbing up the steel tower at SeaWorld in San Diego. Rick completed a 172-foot high record breaking dive that day, an event televised by ABC's Wide World of Sports. This dive was part of the World Record High Dive Challenge. 😳 They are talking to him and he’s carrying on a normal conversation like it’s a regular day. I could never climb that high or talk to anyone. He’s so calm and moves around that tiny platform while it shakes like it is no big deal. 🤯 His family was in attendance watching him. Humans are crazy. 💯 Just watching him climb and talk at the same time and watching him backwards makes me feel anxious. I’ll stick to the diving board at a normal pool. Do you remember hearing about this or watching it? Could anyone ever pay you an amount of money to climb that high, let alone dive into a pool?
