Will I survive a 106 foot jump into 28 feet of water without injury?

are you fucking crazy? Lake Superior is about 2 degrees in the middle of summer, right now it's going to be damn near frozen. Also, it's 106 feet, that's RIDICULOUS!
 
Very legit advice. The water is definitely deep enough, but like he said, is it worth it? Water has a high surface tension, if it is still (un-agitated) water, it will be comparable to hitting solid ground. If you are serious about doing this, wait to see what someone that has done it before does and take note (someone that survives of course). Make sure you are comfortable with lower heights first (i'm assuming you are, otherwise you are either a badass or retard). If you are the first, good luck.
 
I've done one and a half fronts off a 60 ft and not felt a thing and thats entering with my arms. As for 108? Well the force of the water will slow you down enough that you wont hit the bottom.

If you're really feeling gutty, use the rock technique where it breaks the water before the water breaks you.
 
for all the idiots saying "dude you dont even go under like 6 feet, 28 is fine" shut the fuck up, ive jumped 85feet off a bridge, i went under around 10 feet and still touched the bottom, 2 out of 4 times, but youre going so slow at this point its not even a big impact. 106 isn't that bad i just recommend the following-
-Wear shitty shoes you dont care about
-wear a wetsuit (2 reasons- first its gonna be fuckin cold, second its also good protection if you slam wrong)
-wear a cup /or a speedo under your trunks
- have at least 2 friends waiting in the water for you
-make sure that the water is being broken were you intend on landing, if its not DONT JUMP, or have a friend breaking the surface tension somehow
-practice getting your arms into a proper entry position before you get up there (once you leave your platform your first instinct will be to flail, and if you hit the water flailing your arms are gonna fucking kill. not to mention flailing might mess up your position and you'll flop)
-mental preparation is a huge part of this if you second guess yourself, dont jump
- make sure your friends aren't dumb asses like the guys in the "spillway", video. as a lifeguard it was painful to watch that guy being moved around after there was a good chance he fucked up his spine/neck/brain
-video or it didnt happen

 
are you fucking retarded ? why do you think places such as water ramps have bubblers ? to break the bonds water makes. straight fucking dumbass
 
yeah but you gotta think about how much extra time you spend falling with that extra 26 feet and how much more velocity that translates to when you hit the water. Your speed increases at an exponential rate so 28 feet of water may or may not be enough. I would be more worried about the impact on the surface of the water though.
 
It doesn't seem worth it to me. Don't risk broken bones (back, leg, etc), paralysis or death for a jump like that. Still water just makes it way too sketchy
 
that was sick, getting on top of the bridge looked like half the fun. how much did it hurt? and did you land perfectly?
 
My friend knocked himself and cracked a lot of his teeth ona a round about 90ft cliff. He suggested that you wear a mouthguard or make sure your mouth is shut when you enter the water so the vibration of your jaw doesn't give you concussion or knock you out or fuck up your teeth. Even wear a mouthguard if you can.
 
yes you can be knocked out by water, fairly easily...

overrotated a front flip off a thirty foot cliff, wasn't the smartest choice but I'm still here so that's good.

Knocked the wind out of myself and got a minor concussion, so I would say that fully knocking yourself out couldn't be far off if you fuck up badly enough...
 
Sooo 106 feet isnt a huge deal, but 110 feet is really pushing it. You do realize thats only a difference of 4 feet, I think anything over 100+ is pushing it, even though i have to first hand experience.
 
this is a common misconception. although some high diver do point their toes downward into the water, this is a rarity and if your technique is bad, can really hurt you. most high diver point their toes up to the sky as there is a much larger margin for error. you should enter the water with your heels pressed together and toes pointed upwards and slightly ducked outwards. your heels are supposed to break the surface tension and punch a hole in the water for you. you want to enter at a very slight incline and to "scoop" when entering the water so you don't go too deep (but don't scoop to soon or you will get an enema)
the water at this grain tower looks quite calm. you really should have someone break the surface tension of the water by splashing your landing zone. if you do mess up, this would significantly reduce physical damage

someone else said that if you don't know if 28 feet is deep enough, you don't have the experience to jump a 100 footer, and i agree with this. work you way up.
i have personally flipped 70 feet into a 10 foot deep pool as part of a high dive show. here is a recent cliff jump from this summer:

This is what i was going to suggest. You really don't want to give it a shot without testing at lower heights first.

that being said, it sounds totally possible, you just have to be smart about it. Shoes, mouthguard, wetsuit and practice.

oh and videos are a must...
 
Look friend, not trying to start an NS catfight or anything but it's not the surface tension that makes it so hard when you hit it.

Bubblers reduce the density of the water so it's softer when you hit. The more air in the water the less dense it is, not too difficult.

If you think I'm wrong, fine, but don't be an ass about it. Just calm down a bit.
 
Yeah didn't she get reeaaaallly fucked up?

Here's a 117' called "Jesus" in Bangor, PA I was thinking of jumping a few years ago. Too sketchy at this place though./static/images/flash_video_placeholder.png
 
Hopefully you get owned.

Honestly 28 feet is plenty. Do the fucking banana and spin as soon as you hit the water, You won't go deeper than 15.
 
106 feet is pretty nuts. I landed slightly off axis off an 80 footer once (wearing a wetsuit), and it bruised the entire side of my body. Wear a wetsuit and shoes and as much armor as you own.
