C James Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 This video is sure out of place in this forum, but I thought it was one you'd enjoy, for the eye candy if nothing else. rope swinging triple back-flips off a 100 foot cliff.

C James Posted August 23, 2010 Author Posted August 23, 2010 Can ya say YIKES!!!!!!!! Yep... if he misjudges the landing and hits wrong, it could be fatal. That's also one hell of a leverage load he's putting on that rope rig, and if a tree branch breaks... Hitting the water from that height has to be done just right. I've done feet-first entries from heights considerably less than that and even done right, you hit damn hard. I've blown an entry from just fourteen feet (trying flips and twists) and managed a blown eardrum as a result, and I've also screwed up diving board dives from the LOW board and even that hurts. From a high dive platform (33 feet) a bad entry can be dangerous. I've over-rotated a forward flip more than once (I sucked at diving) and even that was agonizing. I think a belly flop could be deadly from 33 feet. Personally, I think the guy in the vid is crazy.
Krista Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Shew.. That was scary.. lol. I wondered where he was going to land.. because the rocks could be seen on the bottom except for that one little pool of water... I know I couldn't hit that perfectly. I'm not one to be adventurous on cliffs though. Definitely leaving that up to the experts.
