Death diving is a form of extreme freestyle high diving jumping with stretched arms and belly first, landing in either a cannonball or a pike position. Classic "Dødsing" (lit. "deathing") was invented by guitar player Erling Bruno Hovden at Frognerbadet during the summer of 1972. In Norway, Døds events still dominate. The world championship has taken place in Oslo, Norway, every August since the event debuted in 2008. Jumps are performed from a platform of 10 to 15 meters in height. There are two classes of death diving: classic and freestyle. In the classic event, competitors fly horizontally with their arms and legs extended until they hit the water, with no rotations. Competitors curl into a pike position (similar to a fetal position) just before entering the water, landing first with their feet and hands or knees and elbows to avoid serious injury; dives are judged on speed, air time, complexity, how long the diver holds the original pose, the closing and the splash. In freestyle, the competitors do various tricks during the air travel, including rotations and flips. The current world record in height is 40.5 meters and is held by Norwegian ⚔️ Ken Stornes. ⚔️ In the women's class, the record is at 30.5 meters and is held by Norwegian Asbjørg Nesje.
Thats why they throw rocks.. to break the water tention.. if he would jump from half that height to calm water... He would break like a piece of meat haha
How are you not hurt after that? Your speed right before the impact was over 100 km/h and you landed flat on your belly. My internal organs almost ripped apart just watching you do this. I guess the stone was thrown to break the surface tension of the water but I am not sure that was enough to soften the blow. Anyways, that was pretty rad!
You can clearly see him throw the rock for aiming purposes as his body follows the line of the rock perfectly and at the last second he forms his body like a wedge as he tucks the head hands and feet together he spears the water not belly flop... And no I wouldn't do it.
@@paulcini6084 absolutley it did it made the surface weaker bc before it would have been like literal concrete. Or why else would he throw the Rock? Go study physics
@inazuma149 I don't wanna blast you. But this one for example did absolutely nothing. Now as for "doing research " you obviously have not done much of that. Physics is what's gonna tell you that doesn't do shit. I've jumped 175 feet with no rock you yell me why it wasn't concrete? The surface tention isn't rhe only thing with resistance throw a rock or not does absolutely nothing.
No, it's so he can get a visual guide for where the water surface is so that he can tuck at the right time. To break the water tension he would need some kind of active bubble system.
Он сначала разбивает толщу воды,сбросив камень,а потом прыгает в обращавшийся круг,таким образом входя в воду,прыгун снижает риски переломов и несчастных случаев,а так же в качестве прицела 👍
That is the whole point. Hence the name "døds", or "death diving" in English. You simulate a bellyflop and tuck right before landing. The longer you hol dthe belly flop position the braver you are.
Instead of doing this, come to the bone chilling weather of Kashmir and help Indian Army, then you will understand the true heroic nature of this precious life...
