how is this possible?

Surface tension. Falling into a large body of water is different than a series of droplets sprinkling on you, even if the fall height is the same.

It's not surface tension.

It's just density vs density

Same reason a piece of rock following at Mach 3 would punch a hole through you and also disintegrate. You see anon once you are moving fast you become a source of energy that is released when you impact something, water is a shock absorber so most of that energy will recoil back into you causing you to get fucked up.

Take a bucket of water and get someone to empty it onto your head from some distance, now imagine when it hits your head it can't go to the sides because it's surrounded by water so all the energy goes straight into your head and neck, now imagine you have about 20-40 buckets of water hitting you at the same time.

Obviously it is partially surface tension. That's why any time you see high diving competitions. there are sprinkler-like systems at the bottom, to break the waters surface tension.

>>10672526
this, if you get hit by enough water at once it sucks
I bet you could kill a man with it

>> No.10673231

Mainly because the water is able to move out of the way, and the energy disperses outwards rather than all in you

why are retards talking about surface tension etc. when you have no idea what entails 'water falls on you'.
Suspend yourself in the air and have a lake's volume of water with a flat bottom fall onto you at 60mph,
>you die
or at least you get exactly as fucked up as if you fell in the water

>> No.10673726

>>10670371
You can die if enough water is dumped on you from a high enough height. It does work both ways

thats actually to create ripples that allow for better depth perception, it has a very minimal impact on safety

It's not just density vs density
A falling volume of water will be slowed and distributed over a greater area by air resistance
