The current world record for the highest jump into water is 191ft (58 metres).

That feat was achieved by Brazilian-Swiss extreme athlete Laso Schaller during a leap from a cliff at Cascata del Salto, Switzerland, in 2015.

Mr. Bream did a attempt!

Quote:

Mr Bream was raising funds and awareness for All Call Signs and Support Our Paras, two charities which provide mental health support for veterans.

He is believed to have fallen for about three or four seconds before hitting the Solent waters at about 80mph.

He was aiming to set a record for the highest freefall into water from an aircraft. But his attempt has not yet been verified by the Guinness World Records.

The thread title mentions TWO world records. I figured that the highest jump into water would be one of them but I wonder what was the other?

It is possible that it appears there ...what records it is about, more concretely.

I hope it wasn't something like:

1. Highest jump into water

2. Highest jump into water from an aircraft.

Because then you could add:

3. Highest jump into water from an aircraft while wearing pants.

The four-second fall from the Golden Gate Bridge sends a person plunging 245 feet (75 m) at 75 miles per hour (121 km/h) to hit the waters of the San Francisco Bay "with the force of a speeding truck meeting a concrete building." Jumping off the bridge holds at least a 98 percent fatality rate; and it is speculated the fatality rate is actually higher than 98% because of people whose bodies are never found after they make the jump. As of 2013, it is estimated that 34 people have survived after jumping.Some die instantly from internal injuries, while others drown or die of hypothermia. The Golden Gate bridge's death toll has since been surpassed only by that of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge in China.

COLD FEELIN' WATER IMHO but help is just a call away: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...e_Bridge_2.jpg
