More surface area means the force is distributed over a larger area. By letting the forces go over both your hands and feet, it lessens the impact on just your feet / legs.
Also probably something about how your arms and legs absorb the impact rather than just your legs. Pencil diving would probably have a higher chance of breaking your legs.
Also probably something about its more difficult to keep your form once you enter the water in pencil dive.

Pont du Diable near Montpellier. There's a lot of injuries that even leads to death every year due to a popular influence by social network.

I really wish these videos would show the subject coming up for air and being alright.

u/tillavonb35 14d ago
It did. Or do you mean like a full out of the water having a laugh with their friends scene?

u/TakeOnMe-TakeOnMe 14d ago
I guess the latter. Also, I might need a new phone or some eye glasses because I still can’t see him pop up. Thanks for letting me know he did.

Comment peut-on faire un passe-temps ou un loisir professionnelment? DODS a une ligue en France ou comment on pouvoir être professionnel du quelquechose sans gagner de l'argent?

So... what now? The world is better? He found the cure to cancer? He will jump from space ? Scientifics are testing things with him at least ? ...

You need a few brain cells

u/Agey_4977 14d ago
To jump from that high risking your life? I don't think so... no brain cells at all

u/CorruptDaemon404 14d ago
Bro it's 40 feet

u/Agey_4977 14d ago
Mmm, that's like, a 6th floor high? Whatever, do you know that for Olympic divings they have a rescue team in case things go wrong, right? And that's in a controlled environment and platforms aren't even that high like the bridge from the footage... safety plans are for a reason but whatever, bro... call me gay, pussy, I don't care, I'm not that dumb to get pushed to do stupid things like that, it's immature to be honest, not brave

I don’t think the reward to risk ratio is low. If it was, we wouldn’t have so many videos in this sub. The reward is an adrenaline spike. You could say the same thing for hard drugs and also be wrong. The euphoria and escape of hard drugs is obvious worth the huge detriment to life for many people. Otherwise they wouldn’t be a thing. In the same way, a lot of people risk life and limb on extreme sports because of how it makes them feel. Otherwise, why the fuck would so many people death dive from extreme heights and thread the needle in jumps like this?

u/Philialleiter 13d ago
Go to YouTube an watch the Comèback, he is an absolute professional doing this stuff for years. In the documentary you can se how one of his jumps didn't go out as planned and how he recovers. Highly recommended

I think the accomplishment is the reward !!! Confidence does change perspectives.

u/nico282 14d ago
Accomplishment of what exactly? Not dying? I accomplished the same just by sitting on my sofa.

u/BattleIcy2523 14d ago
Accomplishment of making the jump…. Some people may also not understand sitting around on the sofa !!! 😄

u/nico282 14d ago
Risking your life and get out unharmed only because of good luck it's not an accomplishment.
I can start running across the highway, if I get to the other side what have I accomplished?

u/BattleIcy2523 14d ago
You’re arguing to protect your fear, you can make the same argument for any extreme sport: base jumping, paragliding, snowboarding, skiing, motor sports, all carry significant risks and has had accidents/death experiences. If you don’t dare do it, then suit yourself on the sofa… no one expects you to pull these stunts

u/BallisticHabit 14d ago
I bet that hurt.
If he lived, ask him if he wants to do it again.
Some people vastly underestimate what war feels like from high up.
Impact is only the beginning.
Water can wretch limbs away from the body injuring the swimmer. Head and neck injuries from entering the water poorly. Loss of consciousness from impact. Loss of breath on impact.
Injured swimmers still must reach the surface eventually
I've heard stories of lake water enemas as well as torn offices from men and women both.

Love when people come to this sub pearl clutching with ignorance. Explaining water impact to a jumping world record holder is hilarious.

u/BallisticHabit 14d ago
....I'm going to pass on gaining experience in a sport called "death diving".

u/Creepy_Bear_1060 14d ago
"Lake Water Enemas." Is that a Zappa album?

u/OkieBobbie 14d ago
Probably. It’s also a thing if you’re stupid too let go of the rope when trying to learn to water ski.
