How high can you jump from a helicopter into water?
Guinness confirmed the 131ft (40m) jump was the highest from an aircraft into water.
Can you survive terminal velocity into water?
Highly unlikely. When you hit the water at that speed, it isn’t so much the physical contact with the water (which is bad enough), but rather the rapid deceleration of your skeleton relative to your brain and other internal organs.
What would happen if you jumped on a shark?
The shark could have experienced “tonic immobility,” which is what happens when a shark is flipped over and enters a state of involuntary temporary paralysis. In actuality, sharks rarely attack humans and do not find humans to be particularly appetizing.

How deep can you free dive without getting sick?
For most swimmers, a depth of 20 feet (6.09 metres) is the most they will free dive. Experienced divers can safely dive to a depth of 40 feet (12.19 metres) when exploring underwater reefs. When free diving the body goes through several changes to help with acclimatisation.
What is the difference between free diving and deep diving?
A free diver will take one very deep breath and dive hundreds of feet under the water without any scuba gear. It takes training, practise and discipline. Deep diving is defined as a dive that exceeds 60 feet (18.28 metres). That means that most people can dive up to a maximum of 60 feet safely.
What is freediving and is it dangerous?
The definition of freediving is diving underwater without the use of breathing apparatus – particularly in deep water. It’s extreme and can be very dangerous. A free diver will take one very deep breath and dive hundreds of feet under the water without any scuba gear.
Is it possible to dive to the bottom of the ocean?
However, theoretically, a person could dive to the bottom of Challenger Deep (the deepest part of the ocean, in the Mariana Trench) unharmed. The primary danger in diving too deep for too long is that the deeper and longer a diver is down, the greater the build up of inert gasses (nitrogen in normal air,…
