Well worth the watch.... funny and thought-provoking.

I jumped off a number of towers and rappelled from helicopters in the Marine Corps. Absolutely not now. I do not care for heights but for some reason I had no problem with in while in service.
Who can forget Louganis hitting his head on the platform in 79?

My friend flying a helicopter. He is a former Marine too. Oddly, the Corps was not interested in him flying:

I learned that “OK” is a somewhat universal expression.

And they didn't even have to walk out on a springboard.

Where did they find these people?

I wonder how many women loss their bikini tops.

I wonder if you can get a wedgie from this.

We paid each of them the equivalent of about $30 t

Huh? What does that mean? Did they pay them in Pesos or something?

That was great, thanks for the post!

I am a former swimmer / diver and have done platform and cliff diving (age 17-21 about), much higher, 20-30 meters, but the water was so deep that you could not see the bottom — abandoned Missouri stone quarries — which ironically helps some to not make it seem so high.

At pools with clear water 10 meters really seems like 15 meters into a hard looking pool floor. It definitely seems higher than it is to the water.

It has been years, but I could still get the fluttery feeling thinking about it watching this fun video.

It was the same thing as this movie at the great place we cliff dove from, especially at the really high cliffs with groups of mixed older high school and college people. People thought a lot about it before jumping. It was like serious golfers trying to decide how to hit a difficult lie in the rough. You wait patiently while they pick their club. Sometimes they just chip out to the fairway. It was no shame to climb back down sometimes.

It was interesting that even people who had dove many times before, would have bad days where they would climb up and could not dive or could not do a certain more risky dive on certain particular days when it just felt bad.

And I love the comment above by “stayathomemom” about “OK” being a universal word now! Great observation! The subtitles make this all the more fun and exotic, especially with that “OK” word thrown emphatically into the mix. Americanisms!

I did a belly flop from the high dive when I was around 10 years-old. Cured me real quick of wanting to high dive.
