Wow. I'm assuming that's the friend who recorded it. Idiots.

Wasn't there a MythBusters all about this kind of thing? At a certain point hitting water without breaking the surface tension is like hitting concrete.

Plus, that water's probably nasty.

Wonder if he had problems getting back on. On a Disney cruise you have to swipe your room key embarking and disembarking.

People cliff dive from that height on a regular basis. He entered feet first too. Either hold your nose, or exhale when you hit if you dont want water jammed into your sinus

Most cruises do that. It s part of their whole security/customs thing.

I hear ya. I'm thinking of much higher. Here's that Mythbuster's clip.

Water can most definitely severely injury you..even at 1 meter you can get very nasty bruises. I had plenty of them on the back of my legs growing up during one period of time.lol. I actually wore a wesuit during diving practice when learning certain dives to prevent the bruises.

That guy wasn't belly or back flopping though. He looked like he knew what he was doing. Like Dave said, people go cliff diving from that height all of the time.

That jump wasn't bad at all for a trained diver.

He was at no more risk than jumping feet first into a pool from high up.

I'm sure you're right. However, it could still get you thrown off your cruise. So I'd avoid it, personally!
