How do you dive sarely from really high up?

Does it hurt really bad if you land wrong while trying to dive off the high dive?

  • I always say I'm going to dive off the high dive, but when I get up there I look down and I'm so scared off doing a belly flop that I end up kind of starting into a dive and then reaturning to standing position. Any tips??

  • Answer:

    high dive meaning 10 ft or platform? I have dove and flipped off a 10 ft. It took me a while before I got the confidence up enough to just trust that my dive would stay in good form all the way down. Just focus as if you were diving say 3ft above the water and just trust it. If your going to do it, do it just like normal. If you chicken out half way through thats when you make the on lookers go "oooooohhhh"

don't look down but yea if you do it the wrong way you can hurt your self because of the impact.

I've hurt myself doing racing starts of a starting block just a foot or two out of the water. So... YES

Do a cannon ball, it hurts much less than a belly flop.

It can hurt very bad. In fact you could seriously injure yourself. You can even break your neck if you dont do it right. This is serious business

You can hurt yourself if it's high enough. I remember turning too far going off a 3m board once, my back taking a bit of a whack. It hurt a bit at the time, but I was fine. Much better than if I'd wussed out of it. If you're going to do it, visualise yourself entering the water cleanly beforehand. It'll put the right kind of directions into your subconscious. Assuming it's of a reasonably safe height, I say go for it. Most of the time, people only really regret what they didn't do - not what they did. If it's really high, build up to it first by learning the basics on sensible-height boards.
