The girlfriend is definitely part of the problem. I wonder if she is a crack head or something?

Don’t we have a HS kid in physics that can time his jump and estimate the height??
Youtube is terrible to get an exact number for, but the best I can tell, it took 105 frames from the frame where you can see light between his feet and the bridge and the frame where you first see splash. Youtube runs 30 fps, so that's right at 3.5 seconds.
Newton tells us that he fell about 197 feet and hit the water at about 78 mph according to a wildly scientific analysis using those numbers.
Tenths of a second matter a lot at those speeds, though. 3.4 seconds is more like 185 feet and 3.6 seconds comes out to something like 209 feet. Exponential growth is a bitch.
In no fricking way on the planet Earth did he fall less than 150 feet.

I thought it was just a random group of girls he was able to convince to film him. Their reactions are not shocking, but still abhorrent. Just a product of their environment.

That’s way more than 50ft

That wasn't his girlfriend lmao. Just some rando. She lied to the police, for some reason.
A shite show all the way around.

Thank God he was wearing his mask. Wouldn’t have wanted him to be another covid statistic

If YT really wanted to do some good these are the vids they should pull

I am sure his followers were so proud. What a fricking idiot. These youths will do anything for attention these days. Hey look at me kill myself

Also, since this came up as a recommendation for "touche gif" as well, I reward your wit with it.

Watching it again that looks like it's 90 feet
You are way off. This is the 360 or Pennybaker bridge. I calculated the height in multiple ways. The bottom of the bridge to the water is ~100' subject to lake level.
Using Google Earth w/3d the top is about 170'
Using the picture and semi-accurate references I get 165'-195'.
Time of free fall gives me 185' and using the various heights gives an impact velocity from about 80-90 mph.
I am going to say conservatively it was 165' (since he wasn't quite at the apex) and his impact velocity was close to 80mph.
The highest I have jumped from was a bridge in New River Gorge in WV only about 45' and in various military schools I did rope drops from 40' to 90' or at least that is what they called them, when you are there it seems higher, in retrospect, it seems lower. Rope drop height comparisons would be reduced by your hanging "length" so my falls were more like 33 to 83 feet assuming the rope height was relayed accurately.

Yea, like 3 or 4 times hirer than 50 feet. The fact that he did not die is amazing.
And that is the only thing about this dumbass act that is amazing
The rest is just pure stupidity

Yeah, that dude is insane and if that post early in the thread (about the dude that pulled him out) is even remotely true, then this dude tried to kill himself.
I've jumped from (what we estimated to be) about 53 feet off a cliffside on the Buffalo River, and I landed wrong and bruised my tailbone and was sore for a couple months. And that was fun, but kinda scary.
This dude was AT LEAST three times that, if not more. Your conservative estimate of 165 is on the low end, I'd agree. And that dude basically tried to get those girls to film his death...that's all kinds of fricked up. And they were laughing? I fear there are far too many idiots out there like these idiots.

No disrespect but I doubt the military has routine training activities that include drops from 90’. Way too high chance of injuries.

The bridge has a clearance over the water surface of right at 70 feet. I think I remember reading sometime back that the top pf the arch is about 100 feet above the roadway.

I've always wondered if someone could survive a jump from the top, now I know. I'd have to think that 9.5 times out of 10 that stunt would result in death or paralysis. Especially the way this moron executed the jump.
ETA: for those calculating the height, the bridge is actually higher on the North side of the lake and slopes downward to the South side.

I was shocked that he was alive and conscious after the way he hit the water. That was brutal. You'd assume his insides were flattened/exploded hitting the water from that high up in basically a belly flop position.

I don't know if it was a pre-existing condition but he seems to have brain damage.
I'm sure he had some sort of concussion after that jump
This is an absolutely nuts video
