    Ooof.

    That’s got the potential to go seriously wrong, fair play to him.

    I think the highest I’ve ever jumped is about 15 metres (when deep water soloing) and that was more than enough to make me have a flap, I honestly can’t fathom what it must look like in person at four times that height! 😯

    Things look much, much higher when you’re actually up there.

    How come he didn’t break his legs? The force at that speed must be tremendous!

    apparently they ‘softened’ the water by creating bubbles in it with air tanks. Bet it still hurt though

    Doh! the apology was a stealthy edit after I realised the joke might be on me!
