WHat would happen if you do a belly flop on a high dive, like the ones in the olympics?

Question

the high five that is really really high

Answer 1

depends what type i am a diver and i know some people who has seriously damaged there back by landing on it and if u landed or ur belly you would be in serious pain and definite bruising. normally you would use bubbles at first when u are doing high board dives for the first time. this makes the water softer.

Answer 2

i think that u would be in sooo much PAIN!  

Answer 3

You'd have a purple belly for a day or so, no serious damage.  Just serious pain.

Answer 4

I think you would have a wounded belly, it would really hurt!  

Answer 5

You could be seriously hurt.  "My diver" got a concussion when he miscalculated coming out of a 2.5 off the 3-meter board [and I've seen two other divers have the same thing happen].  He looked like he'd been beaten up.  

From the 10-meter platform, you're going 35mph when you hit the water, so just imagine how that would feel!  

As someone else said, when you're learning to dive from the 10-meter the pool is usually "bubbled", so your landing is somewhat cushioned.

Answer 6

PAIN........

Answer 7

they should make that an olympic sport, the fatter the better
