You've surely seen the sport of leaping from a high tower into water, executed with acrobatic maneuvers. This sport, as impressive as it appears, is equally daunting. It takes serious courage to plunge from a great height into water, especially when combined with spectacular movements.
A sportsman shared the aftermath of a faulty dive. The state he ended up in underscored the seriousness of the sport he's engaged in once again.
WARNING: The image may be disturbing.
Executing a dive from a 10-meter tower, the athlete miscalculated and hit the water face-first with considerable force. Consequently, his nose bled and his eyes bruised. However, no permanent damage was sustained. The resistance of water and the impact akin to hitting concrete can lead to a myriad of serious issues, ranging from spinal injuries to lung problems, from ruptured eardrums to loss of consciousness. Therefore, exercising caution while performing such dives is of paramount importance.
