Do you guys know why did throw a stone before jump? Cliff diving, High diving, are dangerous. These people are awesome. #cliffjumping #basejump #shorts
He's been trying to get rid of that rock for years. He is addicted. He tries to throw the rock away but he always ends up chasing after it. It's a really sad story.
It's to break the surface tension of the water. Old iron workers that built bridges were trained to throw their hammer into the water if they were falling. Doing so would often save their lives
@@miklet7629key word here is "throw." if I throw something below me while I'm falling, it will reach the surface faster than I will edit: also, gravity affects everything the same. if you hold a feather and a bowling ball in a vacuum and drop both at the same time, they fall at the same rate. mass doesn't matter when it comes to how fast something falls.
@@lunytunez3634cause it is wrong cliff jumper here u throw a rock down too see if ther is any flat trash in the water for example a paper back 2cm under the water will brake your legs if it's laying flat down same with fishes braking the water tension is a myth
Not only does it help with surface tension, but it can help you time your rotation. In other words, you can get a feel for hoe long youll fall to make sure youre in a safe position at the time of impact.
Because he was sick of not being able to smell what The Rock was cookin, but then he realized he wanted to give it one more shot and jumped in after it
i do it to calculate my fall time if im gonna do a backflip or a somersault and its also used for surface tension, it feels like concrete if you dont break the surface
For those of you who want an actual answer, there could be a couple different reasons why he does this. 1) To agitate the water so he can see it better. 2) To gauge the distance from the top to the water. 3) To break the surface tension (Long answer: Bonds form between the water molecules called hydrogen bonds. They form because the hydrogen/oxygen atoms are slightly negative or positive. Therefore, opposites attract and you get water tension. The rock breaks the bonds in order for a smooth contact with the water for the diver.) Thank you to those who corrected me in the comments!
The man in the videos name is Mike Hunt Hertz. After finding out his wife was cheating with a local man Mr. Hertz did some mild social media stalking and found out where his wife and the mystery man would be going to meet eachother. Once he knew the location where they'd be he devised a way to get his revenge. Mr. Hertz would simply throw a rock off the bridge and take the man out with a swift blow to the head plunging to the depths below to confirm the kill directly after impact. Once the kill was confirmed he would then T-bag (also known as Skull F***) the mans lifeless body as he rose back to the surface as if he was a call of duty god popping up out of the water infront of his stunned and horrified wife and shouting "Tah Dah!!" causing her to go into shock and faint thus drowning to death. He would then swim away down river where he had his car waiting and go home as if he was never there. The whole thing would look like an accident leaving Mr. Hertz as the unsuspecting grieving husband but in reality he would be free of his cheating wife and rich off of the life insurance money. What you see in the first clip above is Mr. Hertz doing a test run of his plan trying to make sure he has the timing and angles down just right for the plan to work properly. The second clip is Mr. Hertz attempting to execute the plan but it goes wrong. He beomes too excited and enraged. Seeing red he throws the rock with extreme force missing both the man and his wife below. Mr. Hertz then proceeds to execute stage two of the plan jumping but when he reaches the edge he realizes that he missed the man so he decides he will Execute a triple 360 inverted face f*** on the man killing them both instantly Infront of his wife. It was later revealed in the autopsy report that the man Mrs. Hertz had been having an affair with was named Buster Himen.. he was 69 years old. Poor old bastard never knew what hit him. After the Incident the wife whose name was later revealed to be Anita went back to her maiden name Dickenme then later moved to Chappaqua, New York where she found a job working for the clinton family as a secretary before going missing the same day as the clintons chef after rumors began to surface she had been giving Mr. Clinton sloppy toppy on his giggle stick. Some thought Dickenme and the chef ran away together until the chef was found dead of drowning. Ms. Dickenme was never seen or heard from again... some say she killed the chef and is in hiding. Others say hillary had her killed out of jelousy. The truth is we may never know what happened to Anita Dickenme..
😂😂😂😂 man!!! Your comment is too far down and it sucks that ppl usually don't scroll down that far to read comments because everyone needs to see this 😂.. I believe it!!
This is actually also done to find out that whether the water body is deep enough or ok to dive into it, as if the stone sinks then it means that is OK to dive whereas if it floats , it means that the water body is deep enough which is a dangerous indication of diving into it.
The rock is actually an injured professional high diver. His injuries were so gruesome that he looks like that now…don’t judge. Dude is just helping the guy feel human one more time.
It gives you reference to the distance from water. Spinning you see blue and light blue, but with the white ripples you can have a reference marker indicating the distance you have left
To disrupt the static surface of the water. The rock creates ripples which reduce the surface tension so that in the case that if he hits the water flat it doesn’t hurt as much.
To break the water tension before he jumps 🎉🙌👏 that very smart, hitting a flat water surface at the speed is similar to hitting concrete at that speed!😢😅
Our teacher actually told us about this. When you jump, satan is waiting there to catch you lacking. He's making sure to hit the devil first before diving into his demise.
Lmao 🤣 I started out reading your comment so seriously, because the one right above was real scientific and yours said "my teach taught us about this"... So all seriously I read about hitting the devil so it can't get you!! 😅 lmao 🤣 thanks for the laugh! 😁
Something like that happenend in a small town in eastern Germany in 1961. It was the first sighting outside of the "Tegernsee" in the south of Germany. It's attributed to an ancient Bavarian Beer Kult (CSU) founded by his leader "Edmund Stoiber". This group is known for it's evil behaviour and it is only "tolerated" in Bavaria. I hope i could teach you something about german History. You're Welcome.
He was told if he was in trouble whilst swimming to cling on to a rock, so he's now taking precautions and if there's no rocks close by he clings on to his own!! Man's preparation is 2nd to none !!
Could be a visual aid because of conversational insecurities , I sometimes carry a little Lego head in my pocket for when I take a female to a concert . It saves time and helps avoid damaging conversation
Nope. Its just to get air bubbles in the water so when you hit te water, it wouldkt hit to hard. Swimmingpools with high jumpplanks habe a system for this. With a button..
It’s used for two reasons, it’s used to break the water tension for a smoother entrance into the water and it’s also used as something to aim for so you know if you have enough time for the flips, as it’s difficult to perceive distance when looking at a solid colour
The surface tension bit is an absolute myth. Throwing a rock does nothing to make the dive easier. It’s origin was for divers to locate their entry point since finding exactly where you’re going to land in a sea of blue isn’t very easy. This origin however has been distorted by people thinking themselves smarter than they are. In this scenario he doesn’t even land in the bubbles.
@@brianjc720 yeah thats right, Im cliffdiver and know that Its only for aiming and handling your flips better cause you can see when landing is coming.
He was contemplating if first he should drop a dookie before the jump, but figured the water break from the rock would help reduce water pressure up his butt on impact
What most people don't realise is that rocks are sensational high divers, but terrible swimmers. It's all well and good cheering them on as you marvel at their descent, but it's probably the last thing they'll ever do.
This is mostly done in areas where there is more surface water tension, like lakes. If the water is too still, the person jumping breaks the tension-that can be painful and destructive. But By throwing a stone first, cliff jumpers break the tension of the water.
It's to break surface tension. Water is like concrete, when the water breaks the area surface tension even if he messes up some he will likely be alright. Probably does help for spotting though.
