The Fort Campbell quarry back in the 80's. Not sure how high. I'd guess 60-80 feet. You hit pretty hard and if you were wearing velcro laced shoes, well you weren't after you hit. I was in high school, on the swim team and thus indestructible...
Can't do it any more. They build a visiting muckity muck house on the top of the property and got serious about keeping people out. Friends of mine got run down by MPs tracking with canines the year after we moved. Got in a bunch of trouble. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 25 or 30 feet. The most memorable was jumping off the boat house at Rock Island state park, in northern Lake Michigan, in May. The water was about 40 degrees. It was high enough that you had time to think about the fall and the water was so cold you immediately tried to leap out the second you hit. Of course you couldn't you had to finish traveling 10 out so feet down before you could start swimming back to the surface to get out. https://dnr.wi.gov/images/news/2020/20200706_rock_islab.jpg

40-50' and I hit the bottom and put a huge gash in my heel.
Had to caddie the next day, and shoe was in bad shape by the time I was done. If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough I guess. |

Calves pen Lake George Ny. its 60 ish feet from the upper spot. I did it at age 47, the worse part is the only real way there is by boat and the water is 160 feet deep so you cant just anchor.

Quoted: Had every intention of jumping but I got cold feet and couldn't take the plunge. Water below is PLENTY deep enough... Any tips? I don't want to 'ask my husband' or turn in my man card. I reckon it is about 40 feet? Also, I am 51 years old, if that is relevant.

Here is my tale of woe and caution. Back in the old country of Montengero, right next to the capital city, there is a river. River Cijevna For kids, it's a rite of passage to jump off the cliffs, and the higher the better. As a young kid I used to jump as well, nothing crazy or too high. My cousin, who is 5 years older than me, went with friends, as they did many a time. They found a nice and high rock, started jumping. Well he landed awkwardly and his balls (testes?) ended up wrapping around each other. He floated to the shore and passed out from pain. He came too and found that all his friends had run off leaving him there. He dragged himself up to a road and passed out again. A lady driving by stopped and took him to a hospital ,where they had to operate on his balls to untwist them. This was early 90'es, so no cell phones. Since then I am very careful when and how I jump. Swim platform is probably as high as I'll go now. The river  Attached File Cijevna 2013 The highest I went, against my better judgement, but I was trying to impress the wife who was a girlfriend at the time, was off the rocks below the flagpole in the picture below. Location is Petrovac, Montenegro.  Attached File |

Otter Cliff in southern York Co., PA. It wasn't all that. Maybe 20 feet, but about 12 feet under the surface of the pool you'd hit a thermocline that would chill you to the bone in mid summer. I never made it to the bottom. The real fun was trying to launch a surface cruising carp airborne by landing a perfect preacher's seat right next to it.

Twenty feet or so. I remember back in my twenties taking a canoe trip down a popular creek west of here a little. We were all hanging out on a sandbar drinking near a bend in the river. There was a group of idiots that was climbing a cypress tree near the bend and jumping into what had to be maybe ten feet of water. It's been a while but they were climbing what had to be at least sixty feet up (maybe more). Really bad part was once they got to the "jumping off" point they had to sway the tree back and forth a dozen feet or so to clear the bank.
 That tree trunk was maybe four inches in diameter at that height and had to be stressed to the max. After we watched a dozen of these stunts we moved along before someone got killed.

Whole lot of nope.
I'm wired a little differently.... that free-fall sensation that most people really like, I totally despise it. It's pure misery to me. Heights don't bother me, I'll hang out on tall buildings/cliff/bridges/whatever all day. But no falling or jumping. I don't even like watching other people fall. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 100's of times from the 10m platform at Northern Michigan University. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/47839/IMG-3877_jpg-2072940.JPG Also from a similar height into Lake Superior north of Marquette, May 27 1979 (last day of classes) with ice still floating in the water. I think it took almost a week for the scared turtle to peek out of his shell.  Superior in May!!!? Dear God! That water will still turn you blue/purple in mere minutes in freaking August! I went to LSSU for a little while. We would go to the channel leading to the Locks. Boulder rock walls lined the sides. Some were probably 30 to 40' tall. I never did it because the 1st guy that went crushed his balls so bad he thought for a bit that we'd have to rush him to the hospital. He ended up being okay but very, very sore for a week or two. Nope, nope, nope for me. I stayed in the boat and drank beer instead.

In my teens I jumped a bridge over Caesers Creek lake on SR73. Drunken stupidity, in the dark. It hurt.
25 years after I went under it in a boat many times, trolling. I guess it was 90ft at least, looking up. Bridge jumping was a thing in my AO. I bet my first was age 7. Couldn't do it today, I'd be wrecked for a week or in the hospital. |

In HS I went out one night with some friends and we snuck into an apartment complex pool area that had a two story clubhouse with a flat roof. Climbed up a tree next to the clubhouse to get on the roof then ran across it and jumped over about 6-8 feet of sidewalk into the pool.
Not sure the exact height but whatever a 2 story building would be. It really is true that males' brains don't fully develop until like age 25+. That was so stupid and crazy and now I cannot imagine myself doing anything like that. Edit: found a picture of the place!  Attached File |

13,500' but I was wearing a parachute and landed on gravel, not water.
 There's a place on the Buffalo River in west-central TN that everyone used to climb around the side of a bluff and jump off. I'm guessing it's 40' high. Did it twice one day. It's fun but the climb is more dangerous than the jump. |
