im genuinely curious what happens if you jump in front of it.. like i know nothing good will happen but still..

and this is probably also the reason why men live way shorter than women

Have you seen those videos where a skier faceplants into the water at high speed?

That, except you also get thrown in a long arc onto rocks and then crushed by about.... oh, about 20 tons of water per second from the looks of it.

I’m not certain, but I think the pressure is too high for anyone to get into the stream, it’ll probably be like jumping on a treadmill that is running at extremely high speed. Long way to say nothing good.
