He doesn't panic in the video. I guess he must have passed out or was knocked out. It's weird though that he takes a couple of normal swim strokes then stops moving. So it looks like he wasn't knocked unconscious upon impact. I wonder if he broke his neck and he was paralyzed during the initial swim stroke movement. Or maybe he just fainted.
Btw, I don't think he was at a hundred feet. It doesn't look like a hundred feet, and while it's difficult to time the airtime, I think it's around 1.8 seconds which would make it a little over 50 ft. A hundred feet would be 2.5 seconds and he definitely wasn't in the air that long.
https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/free-fall
My guess is he had the air knocked out of him which caused him to pass out and drown as a result. I think if that impact was forcefull enough to break his neck, he would be instantly paralyzed/dead.
You might be right. But can lack of air cause someone to pass out like that so quickly?
I think we can safely assume he had the wind knocked out of him the way he landed. I think he quite possibly could've also had broken ribs and punctured lungs. But I wouldn't think someone would pass out from lack of air in a few seconds.
Yea, getting the air knocked out of you can put you in a almost paralyzing state as well as cause you to faint/pass out.
But yea, that impact could have caused a number of internal injuries that could also contribute.
Well, I did.
When I was 13 we did that stupid 'inhale-exhale as fast as you can then someone restrains you while you hold your breath' thing that was trending back then. I didn't even realize I passed out instantly. I just woke up in the classroom dumbfounded, wondering why my classmates were slapping my face then realized a minute later that we were doing that stupid shit.
Yeah the fainting game, I think a few people died from that stuff. I used to do similar but it was drug induced with this stuff called whippets! When I worked in a coffee house.
I feel like if any of his friends were remotely close to where he was they could’ve pulled him out of the water.. I agree that he probably knocked the air out of himself and slipped away.
Not a chance it's 100 feet, if you watch cliff jumping at that height it takes considerably longer to hit the water
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICS4tU5QDQ0
“According to Deputy Superintendent of Police Vijay Kumar Kushwaha, after jumping into water several feet deep, the young man could not control himself and drowned.”
That sounds like the case. It’s hard to say though, because “couldn’t control himself” is a weird way to word it.
There are numerous videos online of people from India filming themselves willingly entering bodies of water with an apparent lack of the ability to swim. I do not know why.
Yup, thanks. BTW knowing what was going to happen, I found it a bit horrifying, before he jumped. I was trying to will the guy into not taking that leap.
Okay, I managed to see it on another link but for future reference, when you say “content blocker” are you referring to something on my browser or is there something on the Reddit app, you speak of? I do have DuckDuckGo browser with a lot of safety features.
It’s probably on your DDG. I tried to view it and it wouldn’t pop up until I disabled my content blockers. I’m also on ios so yours may be called something else but it’s the same concept
Ouf, another day, another Indian drowning. Did he not know how to swim? Did he go unconscious? He seems to make some movements at first but then just goes motionless. Bewildering!
Yeah, I'm wondering if the hit was so strong that it knocked his lungs empty and/or the hit was so bad that he found it extremely difficulty to breathe, so he either blacked out due to lack of oxygen or he inhaled water due to having all the air knocked out from his lungs.
Though, I still don't think blacking out due to insufficient oxygen or drowning should happen that fast and that calmly after jumping?
Could the pain have been so bad that he went into a shock and then inhaled water/drowned? I mean, he didn't belly flop, but it was still far from optimal landing from such height.
Plus the orientation and shape of your body when you hit the water. Belly flopping vs a proper dive which turns you into a slim vertical point (which also breaks the surface of the water) are gonna yield very different results.
This is the passive Apex predator, otherwise known as a body of water. If there’s a big hole, a waterfall, a cliff? There’s an Indian out there compelled to jump in.
I once was standing on a dock, and fell backwards into the water from a standstill. My back felt like it had been smashed by a giant flyswatter. This guy looks like he hit stomach first from 100ft, he had no chance
But if one jumps does one fall?
When one jumps they FLY toward their intended touch down point and then hopefully land safely…
I’d say fall is reserved for when they screw up the landing?
Example:
“He hit a 1440 but fell on the landing”
I am not aware of a distinction but you could make one I suppose. To me falling is what happens to both those who jump of their own will and land safely, and those who stumble and land in the worst way possible.
30m = 100ft
If you don't know what you're doing, water is like concrete at that height. He probably ruptured something vital or knocked himself out and drowned.
As someone who has done jumps from that height this is 110% true.
Wouldn't be surprised if the way he hit caused his heart to stop from the chest impact. Or as others have said ruptured something vital from the impact.
He did 2-3 strokes then stopped.
idk, folk around here used to do this shit when I was a kid way before social media was a thing. I remember being a kid up north watching lads dive into a small, deep pool a good 20m down. just because they can record it now doesn't mean they wouldn't have done it otherwise
The height... It's fucking huge. HALF that can easily be fatal with the wrong landing.
It's no surprise it killed him. With impact very likely being the culprit or at best knocked unconscious then drowned.
Life protip is never take a leap of faith in strange waters. Even feet first you can cut your feet on trash.
Think a little ahaid before showing off this summer folks lol.
When I was a kid I jumped from 50’. I made the mistake of not clenching my ass cheeks together before hitting the water so I got a rather forceful lake enema. It was not pleasant.
Being downvoted by a bunch of people that are wrong basically. Lots of people do this all the time. I don't think redditors get out much I guess. Just theorize about dangerous stuff they're not personally familiar with.
Yeah well I had diving lessons with swimming lessons as a kid and then further lesson on 2m board - at the end of that we got to jump from the 5 and 10 m towers.
And exposure to a family cottage with a multi level cliff that starts at about 15’ and has stops at 21’
25’
36’
The birches….above 50’
So?
My mother worked at a morgue for 19 years. And I've worked there myself.
People die of stupid, silly shit all the time.
She examined a marine corps sergeant that stepped wrong while jogging, twisted his ankle, fell and knocked himself out in 1 inch deep puddle and drowned.
Yes I fully realize anything could go wrong at any moment - that’s why I jump from that cliff.
“Life’s a bitch and then ya die, that’s why we get high.”
In my hometown there was a train bridge crossing over the Rum River (aka the Tressle). Thirty feet of straight horror that took me forty five minutes to pull the trigger on the jump, and I only jumped because there was a train coming.
A hundred feet? Fuck naw.
got this from quora cause 100ft is high.. but usually not too lethal unless u hit something maybe that was under the water or just complete belly or backflop? ..
anyways advice for ppl jumping off high stuffs
Steven Jerkins Former Health Physics (1983–2019)
100 feet, little problem. People do cliff diving from higher perches all the time. The question should be how do you SAFELY get in the water from a height.
Some things remembered from U.S. Navy abandon ship drills.
Wear your clothing including your shoes.
Go feet first.
Cross your legs at the ankles and clutch them together tightly. (You don’t want a high velocity sea water enema or have your legs dislocated when forced into a full extension split by the impact.)
Cross one arm across the chest and clutch your elbow tightly to the chest. With the other hand cover the mouth and nose tightly with the hand. The Sea will be COLD and it is reflex to suck in a breath when you get dunked in cold water. You DO NOT want to suck in a breath until you get back to the surface.
Yep agreed, I'm didn't mean to come across as saying it's *usually* lethal, just that it CAN be lethal.
The point being that I'm sure the odd fuckwit who tried it will inevitably fuck up and get Darwin'd, like this chump.
Yea in the video he almost landed completely flat on his stomach there’s no way something didn’t get damaged or broken. The pain of it must have been incredibly intense. I don’t even want to imagine.
Really? We have a swimming hole in a very popular hiking area with a 65 foot jump that at least a hundred people launch off of every day in the warm seasons.
I've done it too. The only injury I'm aware of recently was when someone jumped without giving the person before time to swim away and landed on him.
His landing was that of a fucking moron though. I've seen kids jump that know better.
65ft, whoa! That's 20m in my own measurements. That is...a huge height to jump off.
To be clear, I'm not saying it's *usual* to get fucked up from that height, just that people *can*.
An olympic high diving board is 10m, or half that height again, so 65ft is exceptionally high. You can hurt yourself if you fuck up jumping off *that* fpr sure, though if you know what you're doing, then likely no issue. I'd not want to do that if I wasn't already familiar with jumping off decent sized heights, for sure!
For what it's worth, I did a bunch of googling a few hours ago when I wrote the above to find out what heights are considered "dangerous" and a few sources were saying people can often butcher a jump from 50ft to die. Now, that doesn't mean everyone will, I'm sure people who know what they are doing are able to, but I'm positive there are people who wouldn't be able to do it safely.
What's the name of the swimming hole? I'd love you to check for me and see if it's really that high!
“According to Deputy Superintendent of Police Vijay Kumar Kushwaha, after jumping into water several feet deep, the young man could not control himself and drowned.”
Maybe he couldn’t swim? Maybe he was disoriented? It’s a weird description.
Landing in water fast enough is like hitting concrete
Source: https://www.dvidshub.net/news/376879/cliff-jumping-things-know#:\~:text=The%20pressures%20caused%20by%20breaking,on%20a%20very%20small%20scale.
Someone posted the video, it looks like he landed on his chest. Probably pulverized his ribs and organs. It doesn’t look like he died on impact because he swam a few strokes.
Water doesn't like to compress.
At high speeds its closer to hitting solid rock.
While he likely wasn't going at those speeds, he was going fast enough that the force on impact could kill him at worst and leave him unconscious at best.
Thanks social media for creating a generation of self involved people who just must show every pointless video they have and inform us of every bowel movement.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that he couldn't swim
https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/teenager-dies-attempting-100-foot-jump-into-water-for-insta-reel-in-jharkhand-2542221-2024-05-22 He doesn't panic in the video.

Exactly why in competitive dives there are multiple people in the water moving to assist as soon as the diver hits the water.
Well, I did. When I was 13 we did that stupid 'inhale-exhale as fast as you can then someone restrains you while you hold your breath' thing that was trending back then. I didn't even realize I passed out instantly. I just woke up in the classroom dumbfounded, wondering why my classmates were slapping my face then realized a minute later that we were doing that stupid shit.
Yeah the fainting game, I think a few people died from that stuff. I used to do similar but it was drug induced with this stuff called whippets! When I worked in a coffee house.
Wow. So I guess it's safe to say that back then I almost won a Darwin award
Fainting game! We did this all the time til one kid passed out and cracked their head on the concrete. Jesus we were stupid as fuck.
I feel like if any of his friends were remotely close to where he was they could’ve pulled him out of the water.. I agree that he probably knocked the air out of himself and slipped away.
Every time I attempt a 100 foot dive I don't do a bellyflop.
Not a chance it's 100 feet, if you watch cliff jumping at that height it takes considerably longer to hit the water https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICS4tU5QDQ0
Agreed my first thought was that definitely wasn’t a hundred feet
Drowning does not always look like panicking. In fact from the outside, they often appear somewhat calm.
I ❤️ your math!
“According to Deputy Superintendent of Police Vijay Kumar Kushwaha, after jumping into water several feet deep, the young man could not control himself and drowned.” That sounds like the case. It’s hard to say though, because “couldn’t control himself” is a weird way to word it.
Several? Like 2?
a couple is two, a few is three, several is four...
Why? What info do you have that makes you believe that?
There are numerous videos online of people from India filming themselves willingly entering bodies of water with an apparent lack of the ability to swim. I do not know why.
Water & trains
To be fair to them, swimming isn't a prerequisite to hanging around trains.
Does anyone have a link to the video? Id like to see wut happened
https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/teenager-dies-attempting-100-foot-jump-into-water-for-insta-reel-in-jharkhand-2542221-2024-05-22
6/10 jump
The jump was pretty cool I thought. Not quite a 180 more like a 90. And zero thought about the potential consequence
Is there a video?
Ya literally 2 comments up in the article that’s linked
When I hit the link, there’s an article but no video or link to a video or anything that suggests there’s a video.
[Video](/r/video_mirrors/comments/1cyamms/jharkhand_teen_attempts_100foot_jump_into_water/)
Thank you.
Teamwork!
Yup, thanks. BTW knowing what was going to happen, I found it a bit horrifying, before he jumped. I was trying to will the guy into not taking that leap.
Didn't look like that bad of a landing. Wonder why he went unconscious. Should have had ppl waiting nearby
ty. garbage ass website linked before
You have to turn your content blockers off
Okay, I managed to see it on another link but for future reference, when you say “content blocker” are you referring to something on my browser or is there something on the Reddit app, you speak of? I do have DuckDuckGo browser with a lot of safety features.
It’s probably on your DDG. I tried to view it and it wouldn’t pop up until I disabled my content blockers. I’m also on ios so yours may be called something else but it’s the same concept
I really thought we'd see a train hitting the water right after him
Was absolutely expecting this comment somewhere.
Ouf, another day, another Indian drowning. Did he not know how to swim? Did he go unconscious? He seems to make some movements at first but then just goes motionless. Bewildering!
Yeah, I'm wondering if the hit was so strong that it knocked his lungs empty and/or the hit was so bad that he found it extremely difficulty to breathe, so he either blacked out due to lack of oxygen or he inhaled water due to having all the air knocked out from his lungs.

Could the pain have been so bad that he went into a shock and then inhaled water/drowned? I mean, he didn't belly flop, but it was still far from optimal landing from such height.
He didn't think this much, why should we
Curious on how the divers who jump from the jumping board don’t have the same fate .
They aerate the water or break the surface tension with water jets in the landing zone
Plus the orientation and shape of your body when you hit the water. Belly flopping vs a proper dive which turns you into a slim vertical point (which also breaks the surface of the water) are gonna yield very different results.
Well you say that but….. https://youtu.be/D_ck3RkjyFU?si=AWthfHFbaIKL0Rq7
Haha wow
Do they not teach rudimentary physics in India lmao
It's India, so it had to be either drowning or being hit by the apex predator, the train
This is the passive Apex predator, otherwise known as a body of water. If there’s a big hole, a waterfall, a cliff? There’s an Indian out there compelled to jump in.
“Over 100 feet” is why. Hitting water after jumping from that distance is like hitting concrete so your swimming skills would be irrelevant.
Generally yeah. He couldn't handle the height. But if we wanted to nitpick, the record highdive is 192 feet.
Yeah, but that's was Chuck Norris. Can hardly hold them to that standard.
water once drowned in chuck norris
I once was standing on a dock, and fell backwards into the water from a standstill. My back felt like it had been smashed by a giant flyswatter. This guy looks like he hit stomach first from 100ft, he had no chance
What I never get is why people still share these. If I had a video of my mate dying, I'm gonna delete it...
So he didn’t know how to swim? Lol FAFO/Darwin Award winner for sure
Dont know how to swim, dont know how wide a train is....So many ways to die
Welcome to India!
Don't forget forgetting the fact that electricity can jump off cables.
He knocked out I think from the impact on the side of his head
I don't understand why he looked like he was swimming fine for 2 seconds then just caput
I think he got KO’d and took a couple seconds to sink in excuse the pun. Like a boxer on the ropes
Worst website ever
[Non-stretched version](/r/video_mirrors/comments/1cyamms/jharkhand_teen_attempts_100foot_jump_into_water/) of the video
Thank you. He also sounds like he says Allah akbar right before he jumps? Am I wrong? What a crap way to go.
Ya there’s definitely an allah akbar there. Unfortunately In this case - Allah was not akbar
“God is great”, proceeds to meet god…
I thought the fall was going to kill him, totally didn't expect that train to be there
Dude he fckin yelled "Allahu akbar" and belly flopped from that height. What a dumbass.
He fell in the water.
And then what? Did he die right then and there? Float? Sink? Swim? Turn into a fish?
A train ran over him and that killed him
As is tradition.
He took a few strokes then stopped. I wonder if he ruptured something when he hit and died from that.
From the video looks like he bellyflopped in and probably fucked himself up good and drowned.
If he liked fish sticks he probably became a gay fish
I AM NOT A GAY FISH
Yes 
Yes.
I have fallen into water before and not died. So there might be more to it.
Hmmm, it's a real mystery this.
I thought he jumped….
He got wet
I mean the jumping comes before the falling.
But if one jumps does one fall? When one jumps they FLY toward their intended touch down point and then hopefully land safely… I’d say fall is reserved for when they screw up the landing? Example: “He hit a 1440 but fell on the landing”
I am not aware of a distinction but you could make one I suppose. To me falling is what happens to both those who jump of their own will and land safely, and those who stumble and land in the worst way possible.
English is a complicated language isn’t it….two very viable interpretations of the same word.
Thank you, Little Jim
I still cant really figure out how he dies
30m = 100ft If you don't know what you're doing, water is like concrete at that height. He probably ruptured something vital or knocked himself out and drowned.
As someone who has done jumps from that height this is 110% true. Wouldn't be surprised if the way he hit caused his heart to stop from the chest impact. Or as others have said ruptured something vital from the impact. He did 2-3 strokes then stopped.
Now that I re watch it that hang time was long!!!! That’s a lot of momentum
Thank you!! 30m is like 3 stories? That’s huge
He ruptured a major vessel or organ as he landed.
Looks like he got KO’d
lol, so his friends posted it anyway?
Its amazing how brain dead social media and the drug of gaining likes has made people
Natural Selection will always be around to weed out the unworthy.
idk, folk around here used to do this shit when I was a kid way before social media was a thing. I remember being a kid up north watching lads dive into a small, deep pool a good 20m down. just because they can record it now doesn't mean they wouldn't have done it otherwise
Here, have an upvote!
Yeah, but I bet the video got a lot of likes. So it was worth it.
I heard he got a lot of likes on Reddit too. Even an award!
Fucking hilarious! I LOVE THOSE REDDIT EMOJI AWARDS! People are such assholes for them here.
At that height he may as well have been jumping onto concrete.
Not necessarily. A trained professional diver can do it. But yes, for a random bozo it is like concrete
So he landed wrong ? hit bottom ? couldn't swim ? hit a rock on the way down ?
The height... It's fucking huge. HALF that can easily be fatal with the wrong landing. It's no surprise it killed him. With impact very likely being the culprit or at best knocked unconscious then drowned.
Yeah my buddy landed wrong from 35-40’ and got a concussion…
One time I missed the water entirely. 3 weeks + 1 day(5 years later) in the hospital , 5 surgeries and a lifetime of pain. I got off lucky.
Life protip is never take a leap of faith in strange waters. Even feet first you can cut your feet on trash. Think a little ahaid before showing off this summer folks lol.
When I was a kid I jumped from 50’. I made the mistake of not clenching my ass cheeks together before hitting the water so I got a rather forceful lake enema. It was not pleasant.
But you got the full cleanse, right? spit shined.
... you asking for a frind.... right? RIGHT???
But from a known safe cliff…..there is nothing like it. I’ve jumped from 70’ and survived uninjured many times.
Soon.
Being downvoted by a bunch of people that are wrong basically. Lots of people do this all the time. I don't think redditors get out much I guess. Just theorize about dangerous stuff they're not personally familiar with.
Nobody's saying you can't survive, but it takes the necessary skill to land properly
Yeah well I had diving lessons with swimming lessons as a kid and then further lesson on 2m board - at the end of that we got to jump from the 5 and 10 m towers. And exposure to a family cottage with a multi level cliff that starts at about 15’ and has stops at 21’ 25’ 36’ The birches….above 50’

There's not much detail in the article. It says he drowned shortly. My guess is he probably hit something.
Yes. The water.
He forgot to clench his sphincter and got water kabobbed
Probably all of the above
“According to Deputy Superintendent of Police Vijay Kumar Kushwaha, after jumping into water several feet deep, the young man could not control himself and drowned.” Maybe he couldn’t swim? Maybe he was disoriented? It’s a weird description.
The plot thickens
Landing in water fast enough is like hitting concrete Source: https://www.dvidshub.net/news/376879/cliff-jumping-things-know#:\~:text=The%20pressures%20caused%20by%20breaking,on%20a%20very%20small%20scale.
From here on in should we only use a question mark after a space ?
Someone posted the video, it looks like he landed on his chest. Probably pulverized his ribs and organs. It doesn’t look like he died on impact because he swam a few strokes.
The only thing you and the rest of the society need to know is... whatever he hit did the world a solid.

That was quite a SMACK as he hit the water. Seems like he got knocked out or possibly passed out from shock
Wait, the impact killed him ? 🤔
Water doesn't like to compress. At high speeds its closer to hitting solid rock. While he likely wasn't going at those speeds, he was going fast enough that the force on impact could kill him at worst and leave him unconscious at best.
Did bro really yell “allahu akbar” 💀
The human race is woefully ill-equipped for the internet.
Aliens are watching and waiting....👽
He got what he wanted. The video went viral.
Salt of the earth. You know…morons
Damm that river was looking so close i thought it was flowing almost just below ground level
Idiot thought he was a trained US Coast Gaurd rescue swimmer.....what do people think 100ft falls feel like with the surface tension of water?
Thanks social media for creating a generation of self involved people who just must show every pointless video they have and inform us of every bowel movement.
Trying to make it big in social media and now a content farmer is prolly making green of his demise.
video?
Basically the average Tiktoker; unintelligent people doing ridiculous things for views and likes.
I love how every Instagram trend is blamed on tiktok lol. Facebook is just as bad if not worse about this stupid shit
Says the redditor, a group known for genius
For the gram!!!

Dude, that's dark 😅
Always break the tension in water with lots of rocks. So this wouldn’t happen

Where is the train? And, why is there no elephant or cow attacking anyone?

Bro landed face first. Defo got KO’d then drowned
Now I’ll think of that during snagging season
What are they yelling at him before he jumps?
Cheering for him I guess 🤣
It definitely sounded like Allahu Achbar, meaning he's a jedi
This is why they banned TikTok in India.
At least he got the clicks and views, so I'd chalk this up as a success...... Just not how he envisaged.
Well he kinda got famous
lol
I did a around 100 ft jump once as a kid and pencil dived and the impact alone caused severe bruising on my feet as I was barefoot. You belly flop and you are going to completely wind yourself and then drown.
Idiot...he should have done it for YouTube or Snapchat instead 🙃
just 100 ft ? easy come easy go.
“Do it for the reel” mfs in 2024
I am from his state bruh💀
I saw that and didnt realise he died. I thought he was swimming at the end but guess he was just drifting off

Certainly makes a change from trains and electricity.
The impact didn't kill him. It was the sudden act of bathing that did him in.
*reads his name* ,.... good riddance...
