One good video about the high diving jump. This original video was created for you by epSos.de and there is an original digital signature in the video and the audio. The main idea is to make our planet better, interesting and more happy.
High diving consists of performing tricks from a platform between 23 and 28 meters high for men and 18 and 23 meters for women. In 2013, this sport was officially recognized as a discipline in its own right by the International Swimming Federation and for the first time was entered as an event at the 2013 World Swimming Championships in Barcelona.
The competitions generally took place in quarries or mountain lakes with sufficient depth and steepness, but as mentioned the diver starts from a platform and not from the cliff itself.
It is also practiced by former "Olympic" diving competitors.
Entry into the water, which can be done at more than 85 km/h, makes non-vertical entry into the water dangerous. Few dare to enter the water by the head, because of the importance of the impact.
When a person jumps from height and impacts with a water surface there is a greater risk of injury.
It was reported that, "If you jump from 20 feet (6 meters) above the water, you'll hit the water at 25 mph (40 kmh) -- the impact is strong enough to compress your spine, break bones or give you a concussion."
Cold water temperatures "...can lead to cold water shock and can make even the most experienced swimmers unable to stay afloat."
When the body suddenly enters this environment it can cause an involuntary gasp resulting in water being breathed rather than air."
After a person has jumped from height into water "It may be impossible to get out of the water." and "...strong currents can rapidly sweep people away".
Public Health Ethics has argued that criticism of tombstoning has been based purely on a health perspective which "fails to take into account the enjoyment that various health effecting habits brings and the contribution that this makes to a good life."
Good #Health and long life to all the divers !
