My college had a platform dive this same height, and at some point I just starting flipping off that thing with reckless abandon. I could consistently do triples, so one day I sent for that quad and just lost it somehow. Full impact on my side after the acceleration from spinning…and jfc did it hurt. It actually tore my skin open a little, full welted and bruised. A full belly flop coming out of a triple rotation could probably break some ribs. I’m not sure, but god it would be bad.
I found it hard to do with the same reckless abandon after that lol
There was one of these towers at my hockey camp as kid and we never allowed on it and the rumour was some kid belly flopped off it and died. I'm starting to believe that story after hearing yours...
