so did the guy in the first vid "tie" because he lived without dying?????
if that were me i would have climbed 15 more feet up and took a dump off of it. THEN i would have refused to come down out of fear and made a helicopter come rescue me. then again i'm a dick

Seriously that dude was crazy. Is that still a record high dive? What the hell is he thinking doing flips off that? I get nervous on the 20 foot dive, that is impressive.

How far is it before terminal velocity kicks in? Samoth probably knows this. I am too lazy to look up the formula and do the math.
I would think he would hit so hard he would be dead.

FUCK. ME. that was insaaaaaane! that requires some incredible skill though, a couple of inches out either way and he could have broke his back, neck, anything. mental. big respect to him though.

My guess is the danger factor. This guy made his living diving and probably didn't want to push the standards higher for safety. In that sense it is just as good to tie for the world record as it is to break it.
Let's say he dives 173 and lives and then the next guy dives 174 and dies. Basically he pushed that guy to his death when at 172 he along with one other guy get to say the hold the record. If everyone is diving 172 then the record can be pushed higher.

Yeah. It was just long enough to really realize I actually jumped, hear myself going faster and faster to the point I really regretted it, and then concentrate on pointing my feet and crossing my arms across my chest. It was really fast, yet felt drawn out at the same time.

I'm I the only one who thought it was cute that he wore sunscreen on his nose? I mean he wouldn't want to risk the danger of a sunburn and all...lol.

He held and broke the record seven times already, why push it more until someone else challenges him?

that was back in the day when that was in. One would put sunscreen all over the body and then pull out the "special" nose sunscreen in the color of the day for the nose. Kind of like popping your collar, I think 75th still has a couple bottles of it.

true but the actual definition of the word is about the falling part, not the entering the water part.
