this is what i do when its hott out and water is nice

the jump doesnt look very high but it is at least 50-55 feet, and yes the steps are at a slant making the jump alot harder



tell me what you think!

Awesome! Is that on the Susquehanna River?

i have no idea, i couldnt figure that out

Actual height can be calculated within a few feet from the time of the jump to the splash.

50-55 feet seems to be alot. I would say 30feet at best. @ Tech your thougts??

I have not downloaded the video to do a frame by frame time check on the jump. Initial thoughts are a bit below 50 feet.

Handy online calculator;

At 50 feet the time would be;

Speed at impact:17.28 m/s
or 62.22 km/h
Time until impact: 1.76s

As best as I can tell pausing the youtube video, time to splat is about 2 seconds. The claim appears to be valid.

it is higher then it looks trust me !

but its still alot of fun!

Next time you go bring a ball of yarn or a long piece of string and tie a weight to the bottom. Ive jumped at 50, 85, and just over 100, just dont seem like 50. Maybe its just the video, very cool though dude!!
