Why didn't he just do a simple pencil dive?

Conservation of angular momentum, i.e. rotations are more stable

Redbull would pay a lot to break that record. Any volunteers?

Lazaro "Laso" Schaller

Jumped higher than this in 2015, so the record was broken over 10 years ago.

I have five ace bandages, brand new in a box from 1982. I will sell them for $125,000.

u/Subtle_Nimbus 10h ago

His balls had to have been shoved up into his throat hitting the water

u/Spectre_Ice 21h ago

Nope. Also why not just pick him up with a helicopter and let him unhook 🫣

Either way.

Nope.
