>> falling hundreds of feet into water is more survivable than hundreds of feet into earth or concrete.

No, not really - hitting watter as damaging as hitting concrete once you get above 100 feet high. But at least you're not going to kill an unlucky pederastian by falling on them.




The world record for cliff diving is 192', so I'm sure there is some special way you can enter the water, if not safely, at least more safely than entering land.


Just up to a point. Go fast enough and water won't be able to get out of the way in time.


Probably not if you're also wearing a jetpack. It'll rip you in half.
