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
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
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)

“The view from halfway down”
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.
Curious: how can you even know (or guess) what height is doable?
