How high can you jump off something into water and live?

Question

I go cliff jumping into lakes thats from 40-60ft high and I was wondering how much higher can you go untill its really unsafe?

Answer 1

well 80 feet and higher you will die.  50 feet it feels like your hitting solid ground.  so i wouldnt go higher than 40, but this is all in deep water.  i think its suicidle jumping at 60 feet so you should atleast make sure you had a good life before jumping 60 feet again!!!

Answer 2

Some people have jumped from a plane and survived.  It also depends on the depth of the water...

Answer 3

It depends on how you enter the water and the depth of what you are diving into.

More importantly, know your local laws.  There is a $5000.00 fine assessed as a penalty by anyone caught cliff diving in KY.  And the State Police, Water Patrol, and Game-Wildlife officers are all authorized to write out the tickets so be prepared to pay if caught.

Answer 4

Man, Cliff Jumping is fun! Ya you can go about 100 ft or even higher. I cliff jump all the time at the lake! I just did it a few days ago actually! They were about 70 ft high. But I have jumped as high as 100ft! Im not going to lie, I had a life jacket on and everytime I hit the water it knocked the wind out of me! But it was still fun! But it can be really unsafe my aunt broke her tail bone jumping off when it was 100ft high so that would be at a level that it can be unsafe! But just wear a life jacket and that can protect you from a lot of the impact! Hope this helps! Where do you cliff jump at? (send me an e-mail)
