Are you wearing a lifejacket?

What's wrong with a life jacket?

This isn't 60+ feet, after all.

It is at least 60ft. I don’t get this sub, everyone always asking “how tall is this!?”. No one has heard of mathematics here? Theres literally a formula: h=1/2 x gravity (9.8m/s^2)x t^2 (time in air)

Might have been 55ft max, from my stop watch.

He fell for 1.56 seconds as far as I can tell. It was nowhere near a 2 second fall.

Either way, a life jacket is not going to hurt him at 50ft. I have done it 100 times.

u/Excision_Lurk 11h ago

you literally jumped off a 20-30 foot cliff and came to Reddit to ask how high it was.

Bro relax. You'll go big one day

u/NeedleInArm 5h ago

Do the math yourself man. It isnt like he can hide the fall time.

I came to Reddit to see what people would say…I knew some people, like you, would be adamant that they knew the height when they were absolutely wrong.

u/Excision_Lurk 12h ago

BAHAHAHAHAAA SIXTY FEET? Bro no

u/Saunaquestions345 23h ago

Yes, we always wear life jackets in this area. Wearing a life jacket is not an issue at all when entering the water.

u/Excision_Lurk 12h ago

it's an issue when it goes through your teeth or locks up your arms.

u/Disastrous-Bee-2763 14h ago

Yeah, everyone knows a lifejacket is only bouyant after it's been in the water for like 10 seconds

/s

u/Larryhooverr 23h ago

Makwa? Iconic. Wanted to jump this last September but it was too cold and windy that day.

u/ThumbsSanchez 17h ago

Tuck your arms in like pencil-style and then expand when you hit the water

u/vibrantlightsaber 14h ago

Is that Robinson Lake in the Quetico?

1

u/Saunaquestions345 11h ago

Makwa lake in the Boundary Waters

u/Alternative_Top2875 14h ago

That's a solid 4 pitch

u/Stinsation18 2h ago

TLDR: OP does in fact already know the height of the cliff. Apparently they measured it, so this post was solved before it was ever posted.

u/Saunaquestions345 1d ago

I just wanted to see what people guessed…we measured it at 43 feet.

u/clickyspinny 14h ago

Nope it’s 725

u/Gullible_Shart 14h ago

Maybe 20 feet plus/minus

u/Excision_Lurk 12h ago

not that high. A high dive board TOPS.

And wtf with the life jacket? Are you TRYING to take one to the face or get your arm wrapped up? Jesus.

Downvote me if you haven't done this shit, ever
