Patf Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Don't try this at low tide [:D]And it can result in bust eardrums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Apparently from that height they had to go into the water feet first. Imagine judging that after all those twirls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperlola Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I used to do this when I was a teenager and lived in Malta - there was a high cliff you could jump off at our local beach. If you don't hit the water perfectly straight, it doesn't half hurt![:'(] I look at this film and wonder how I had the nerve to do it. I was obviously nuts.

Patf Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Coops - I think I know that cliff! What were you doing in Malta?We had a holiday there once and we have photos of Eddie and eldest daughter diving off that cliff. Not me though.Eldest daughter also did some diving from the cliffs in Rosh haNikra on the Israel/Lebanon border, and made herself deaf for several days after.
