anyone ever been cliff jumping?
I love it, ill jump any height as long as I see someone else go first lol. Today I jumped one 96ft high, and landed on my butt. It ****in hurt. it was worth it though, I swear the fall was more than 3 seconds long.
By cliff jumpin, I mean jumping off cliffs into a lake.
-
Maybe if I was high on drugs...
...and dying very soon
...and someone held a gun to me
...and threw me off the cliff.

I assume you used a parachute or something, right? Cliff jumping is dumb. I won\'t even jump off my step ladder.
-
I jumped into water.... A parachute? lol

I dunno. I\'ve never done cliff jumping nor cared how people did it. If you said cliff diving, I would have known what you said :)

A kid that would have graduated this year died doing exactly what you\'re talking about........

People die every day from driving also - doesn\'t mean we should all stop, does it?
I love skydiving, plan on bungie jumping later this year. Basically, I will jump off anything. Never done any real cliff divin\' , but if the chance came up, I\'d do it in a heart beat. I guess you could say I am an adrenline (spell check!) junkie.
Me + Heights = Must jump.

Always wanted to parachute off the Sears Tower. Its not a smart idea but it was always something i wanted to do when i was a kid. Ill go skydiving at least once in my life. Never been bunjie jumping either.
It all sounds fun to me.
-
I\'ve been skydiving a couple times (Cyrus is a current skydiver on this board). It\'s a great experience, something you\'ll never forget, just don\'t due it in the middle of winter like I did.
:)

I\'m very interested in going bungie jumping and sky diving. Cliff jumping, however, doesn\'t quite seem safe enough to garner my interest.

If you\'re driving without brakes.. :)

There had to be some reason, he could have landed wrong, or mistaken deep water for shallow water.
Bottom line, if its 150 ft or less, and u land in 20 ft water landing feet first youll be fine.

Driving has a real purpose...
Not cliff jumping...

Thats exactly what happened and he\'s dead. All it takes is a leg cramp from the landing or breaking your leg just from the shear height.
Also, sky diving and cliff jumping are so far from eachother. Really not too much related besides the heights.
-
Pfft, danger. Yeah, and what would happen if I slipped in the shower?......Oh my god, I could be killed!
*obligatory Simpsons referance
-
I always jump with shoes on, so they take most the force out of the impact when I hit the water. Maybe he wasnt wearing shoes, cuz ive done that off a 20 foot one and I couldnt imagine the pain from a 100 foot one.
-
I\'d wear a cup
-
Jump into the water with your stomach facing down and your arms straight out to the sides, then tell me how cool cliff jumping is.
-
If you jump from a great height hitting the water is just like hitting concrete. Jumping from 90ft can very easily be fatal if you land awkwardly.
-
THere use to be a place in Gainesville called the Quarries. IT\'s a housing development now, but when I was there it was an old quarry that filled up with water. That cliff was damn high. At least 50 feet. Not sure though. I don\'t think I ever did it sober. I cringe every time I think about how easy it would have been for me to slip near the edge and die.

Carefull....land the wrong way and you could kill yourself from that height.

There\'s a bridge where I grew up that we jumped off of... 75 feet...there were some guys who built a ramp and had beater bikes with floats attached who would ride down the road and jump over the guardrail... f*ckin\' crazy-ass hicks.

You would pray that Racer isn\'t there with you.
I\'d like to do skydiving one day. That does look like a lot of fun.

Not if youre drunk. heh. I know we\'ve had this conversation before.
There was a kid at my school (a senior or a junior), who was drunk and was smoking weed while driving. He was just flying down the street and he drives a Jimmy i think. Some big truck. And so this kid is on his bike in the street (not smart of course but the kid was young) and the kid from my school hits this kid and the kid goes flying and cracks his skull open. Brains fallen out and everything. The guy freaks out, tosses his weed out the window and drives away.
A friend of mine saw it. Really messed up.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
That\'s horrible.........
At a water park we go to for camp there\'s a 20 ft cliff you can jimp off it\'s pretty fu but ot doesn\'t here my feet all. It looks a lot higher from the edge then it does when you looking at it from the side.

Were going back down there saturday, so Ill take pics.
