I'm dumbstruck on how they managed to make a diving board that high and not have any divers injured just from the sheer reaction of surface tension alone. The technique and skill for those high divers to not even break a bone must be arduous to say the least!,(reply>), 65 feet is not super high. You could probably jump from there and be fine given you tuck all your limbs in,(reply>), @Tyler H that is true and that's not what I said. You should have some reading comprehension.,(reply>), The big trick (and you can see it here) is spotting the water. As long as the diver can see where they are going to land, they’re good to go. It’s almost kinda like a squirrel.,(reply>), The water surface is only a few molecules thick. It can hold up individual pieces of paper, paperclips and insects. It does nothing to noticeably affect the movement of a full scale human. It can't absorb more than a tiny amount of energy before breaking.,(reply>), @May the Science be with You if you hit water hard enough to significantly compress it, you are already dead from the dynamic pressure.
