As the name suggests high diving, it literally means being at a great height and free falling into the water. But any sport related to height and water is more dangerous. So high diving is one of the extreme sports that is very dangerous.

High diving originated from cliff diving. In the historical record, in 1770, a country on the island of Hawaii, this sport is a young man to the king to prove their courage and loyalty to the tradition. Later in 1996 the World High Diving Federation was officially founded in Switzerland. FINA stipulates that the height of the high dive for the limit is 28 meters, athletes can be completed in this height, within 4 weeks of the tumbling action, the whole action time for three seconds, into the water at a speed of up to 70 ~ 100 kilometers per hour, so the action, such as a little bit of irregularity, into the water in the instant of the great possibility of damage to the head, the body is subjected to several times the weight of the body, or even dozens of times the pressure, serious cases can lead to disabilities or casualties! The most important thing to remember is that you can't be sure that you're going to be able to get the best out of your car.

Generally speaking, high diving athletes, themselves with traditional indoor diving skills have been systematically trained and then slowly increase the height. Both cliff diving, or high diving, technology is far more important than courage, courage is only at the beginning of the practice of breakthroughs, but especially to the late when the body's skill ability to require a very high, according to different geographic environments and heights of the choice of the body force and entry point. It looks very exciting and adventurous, but still attracts many people to challenge.

The high-risk nature of platform diving comes from the human body from a very high altitude into the water surface of the instant action, due to the body by the great impact, as well as into the water due to choking can not breathe, a short period of time in the water under the body can not be adjusted to the posture of the death of the possibility of a very large . So whether it is from the impact of the body or due to water choking, especially outdoor high diving mortality rate is still relatively high. High diving from a certain point of view is actually a high-altitude jump, just have deep water for buffering, so whether indoor or outdoor are required to carry out high diving in the depth of the water at least 20 meters or more, in order to have enough buffering capacity.
