What is the safest way to land when falling in water?

Keep your feet and legs tightly together so that both your feet hit the ground at the same time. Land on the balls of your feet. Point your toes slightly down before impact so that you will land on the balls of your feet. This will allow your lower body to more effectively absorb the impact.

What happens if you fall into water from a great height?

Falling into water doesn't provide a softer landing than concrete when falling from such a great height. Terminal velocity for a human is about 120 miles per hour. A skydiver reaches that in about 1,000 feet. Most victims of bridge jumps or falls die of broken necks, not drowning, Kakalios said.

Can you survive a 150 foot jump into water?

Stone states that jumping from 150 feet (46 metres) or higher on land, and 250 feet (76 metres) or more on water, is 95% to 98% fatal. 150 feet/46 metres, equates to roughly 10 to 15 stories in a building, depending on the height of one story. 250 feet is the height of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

Can you survive falling off a cliff into water?

When done properly it is survivable without injury. You have to break the surface tension with a part of your body that can take the blow, and you have to keep all your muscles clenched and your body absolutely rigid, and you have to hit absolutely perpendicular to the surface.

Is jumping into water from high altitude fatal?

At extreme velocities, accelerating your body's mass of water will kill you anyway. However, what actually kills you is hitting the surface.

Can you break bones falling in water?

If you jump from 20 feet (6 meters) above the water, you'll hit the water at 25 mph (40 kph) — the impact is strong enough to compress your spine, break bones or give you a concussion (source: Glen Canyon Natural History Association).

Can you survive free falling into water?

The upper survival limits of human tolerance to impact velocity in water are evidently close to 100 ft/sec (68.2 mph) corrected velocity, or the equivalent of a 186-foot free-fall.

Can you survive a free fall into water?

At what height will water break bones?

Cliff diving puts tremendous stresses on your body. If you jump from 20 feet (6 meters) above the water, you'll hit the water at 25 mph (40 kph) — the impact is strong enough to compress your spine, break bones or give you a concussion (source: Glen Canyon Natural History Association).
