Realized I fucked up half way down a cliff jump into water that was way too high and I broke my back. Having that realization mid air was terrible. I’m very lucky to not be paralyzed from it
Apparently it’s the fuck around and find out method
I think the cliff was 75 feet above the water but it was the first and last time I was there and could be more. The water had also dropped in depth according to my friends after, due to drought (was a river)
How did you hit the water? were you aiming for a belly flop, or dive? or were you just jumping in without thinking of the other?
What injuries did you sustain if any?
Crushed my T-11 vertebrae from my legs bending over my head because I landed leaned back a bit but I also possibly hit the bottom I have no memory of the moment of actual impact. I was freaking out in the air which didn’t help at all. I was also not sober

Curious: how can you even know (or guess) what height is doable?

Damn. I’m sorry that happened, but I’m glad you’re not paralyzed. That must have been truly terrifying.

Oh dang, so there’s also a chance you hit the bottom of the water as well? Hope you’re fully recovered now.
