How does plunging into the ocean necessarily kill you?

The key thing is the "220 feet".

You are falling at quite a rate when you hit the surface.

If you don't hit the surface at just exactly the correct angle and position, you'll be killed by the impact. Water is NOT that soft.

And if you DO hit it at just exactly the correct angle,you will go so deep as to not be able to surface before drowning.

I believe that only one person has jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge and survived.
