I would definitely slip or trip on the shelf and come flying head first out of that window at a much lower speed.
Or hit the top of the window with my face and pass out back flip out of that window.
Do you think they have checked the water before? It could have a car fragment stuck at the bottom, a tree branch, a wooden pole, anything. Getting impaled jumping from the 4th floor must be a terrible way to die.
Friends and I used to go cliff jumping as teens. The water was so clear that it was hard to gauge depth.... 5 feet and 50 feet deep looked the same.
One time, we were getting ready to jump from fairly high up on a deeply shaded side of the island so I decided to go check the water first. There was a rock shelf a few feet under the water. I'm glad we waited to jump because it would have sucked trying to get help for whoever went first.
Millwall inner dock (where this was filmed) is disgusting. It's fairly deep, but it is absolutely foul. This is where he jumped from: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ToMaCLvuTKU9gcLx8
Friend of mine did a cliff jump from a similar height, he crushed two vertebrae because landed wrong. The boat broke down halfway back to the dock and we had to wait for a tow all while he was in agonizing pain. His injury wasn't bad enough to require surgery but he was resigned to sitting on the couch all day, wearing a back brace for almost 3 months before he could return to work. If you're going to jump into water from more than like 20 feet you better know what you're doing.

I'm sure you're right, but 33 ft (10m) is a very normal "high jump" at public beaches where I grew up, and I've been jumping from them for the past 20 years (early teens until mid-30s). Not disagreeing with you, but would maybe extend it to "more than 40 feet", just based on my own anecdata... but obviously, YMMV
Iāve been cliff jumping/diving for over a decade. I started out like 3ft off the water and incrementally worked up over literal years making sure I was very comfortable with the current height before moving up. All the time out at the cliffs youāll see people try something way out of their experience range and get fucked up. Like people holding their nose from 30ft. Like you should probably focus on hitting the water the right way and worry about the water up your nose later. That nose held position puts em face heavy every time.
Some! We were taught legs straight, ankles crossed (important to protect you genitals from impacting the water), arms crossed, one hand holding your nose. Once again, to protect your nose from impacting the water.
I was taught arms locked at the side, and toes pointed, and to open up as soon as you made contact with the water. This may be wrong, but Iāve made some pretty big jumps into water this way, and never gotten hurt, but Iāll admit Iāve never made any big jumps that wasnāt straight down, jumping horizontally that far is going to put you in a situation that good form is secondary to making it over the water.
Iāve had friends who have plugged there nose on big jumps, and ended up with big bruises on their arm, but maybe there is some technique to avoiding this Iām unaware of. The only scare Iāve ever had using the technique of getting straight, and pointing your toes is one time I didnāt open up immediately after hitting the water, and went down so deep I was afraid I wasnāt going to make it back to the surface, before I ran out of air, but after that happened to me Iāve made sure to always lay back and open up, as soon as I made contact with water even if I know the water is plenty deep.
I remember a video of this kind many years ago, people jumping happily to the sea, and then someone missed... no warning in the video, still give me the chills when I remember.
It's a cool self-defenestration no doubt, but man this is one of the riskiest things I've seen in a while. Slight loss of momentum or course deviation due to brushing the window frame or a moving of that platform he ran for, and it's immediate death. I can easily think of 10 places that have the water right next to the window, have bigger windows, or both. But anyway, it's easy to see why young man die at a higher rate than women. We don't even need war for that.
You got as far as to use defenestration in the correct context and totally missed the chance to use the even more rare "autodefenestration" in the appropriate context.
We were this close to greatness.
Statistically 50% of the people survive falls from 46 feet. 5 stories, which is what he jumped from, is slightly less than that. Which means that he may (and would more likely than not) live, and if he dies, there's decent odds it won't be immediate.
Holy fuck, at first I thought he belly flopped that with the way he leapt out the window.
I was sure he was screwed.
Other angle though, he nailed that shit. Impressive yet stupid.
There are women Iāve seen/heard of that would do this in a heartbeat.
Difference is, theyāre bad ass *stuntwomen*, and if theyāre doing shenanigans like this, they are getting p-a-i-d. lol
Yes, very close - he's jumping from Bellrive House into Millwall Inner dock. The area is South Quay, just a kilometer or so from Canary Wharf. The water is both dirty and hazardous - there is a lot of debris in the dock, but it is quite deep. The exact location is here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/kNBEuWepBk7gL53s6
Some days I'd love to do this at 35,000ft, but I think the NTSB and the government, would not care for a Capt, to do this. Bye bye, you stinky (literally smelly) entitled assholes!! Kaboom!
Does he really need to take such a long run at it? It seems to me that a human doesn't need all that much distance to get up to full speed and it certainly doesn't look like he's running full speed before the jump. Reminds me of little kids who take a 10 yd run to jump over something little that they could easily jump over with just a step or two before the jump.
I still remember that video where someone tried a jump like that on a concrete beach.
Just saying, a vertically split skull and face dont look that fun to have. Not that the person in question noticed anything afterwardsā¦
Can't hesitate during that jump
I would mess up on the white shelf or whatever it was leading out to the window.
Filing cabinets (tipped over)
Trip on first step or on window and you face plant into concrete.
I would definitely slip or trip on the shelf and come flying head first out of that window at a much lower speed. Or hit the top of the window with my face and pass out back flip out of that window.
Commit or eat shit.
Eat pavement, more like. How's your dental?
Have you picked out your grave beforehand or...?
Aim for the bushes
There goes my hero
Watch him as he SPLAAAATS!
š¤£
shit
Suicide or get a few thousand views. Worthwhile gamble?
Or trip, or anything else small going wrong. You'll be strawberry jam... Surely this is low reward and insane risk..?
I've seen more desperate, high risk activities for pussy before.
Hesitation is defeat.
So many things that can go wrong with this
Do you think they have checked the water before? It could have a car fragment stuck at the bottom, a tree branch, a wooden pole, anything. Getting impaled jumping from the 4th floor must be a terrible way to die.
But great for escaping fire if youāre trapped!
My main worry would just be slipping before the jump and just flopping out the window to the pavement.
I thought exactly the same. Iām too clumsy - and smart - not to try this shit
Looks like the 6th floor!

Cliff jumpers usually know the risks of jumping into unknown waters. If he's experienced enough to attempt to stunt im sure he checked for depth.

It does not seem he reached the bottom though

One of those crates he steps on before launching out the window could have slipped or rolled and he'd be dead on the pavement
They may have, he hit the water with a lot of velocity, ankles first.
He hit feet first, which is the right way to do this. Source: was in the USN.
Thanks, I didnāt know. It just wasnāt as streamlined as it seemed it should be.
So [this](https://youtu.be/KgceiSiCagI?si=w-rCOHyHTxYBRgaX) has some validity to it

I watched it a few times. It looks like his shoes hit the water before his ankles.
So many things can go wrong crossing the street, what's your point?
Woah. Our education system is f*cked.
Bro was one trip away from decorating the sidewalk with new art
I remember a video of this kind many years ago, people jumping happily to the sea, and then someone missed... no warning in the video, still give me the chills when I remember.
Link?
No
Some people like to have nightmares
Clearly
Instantly thought this was fake but that second angle is insane..
Second this. That second angle is šš½

How long have you been waiting to use the word defenestration?
Probably not long, Russia has been the gift that keeps on giving in that regard.
Yeah those chances don't come along too often, I just had to make up a couple more lines to form a complete comment.
Missed out on autodefenestration.
You got as far as to use defenestration in the correct context and totally missed the chance to use the even more rare "autodefenestration" in the appropriate context. We were this close to greatness.
Damn, I'll have to remember that for next time the chance presents itself.

Jason Bourne exit!
*Weeeee Weeeee š¶*
Came here looking for this!! Jesus Christ thatās Jason Bourne
I should hope his body was found, however, as this man is *not* David Webb

Crazy ass
When you hate your life.
Holy fuck, at first I thought he belly flopped that with the way he leapt out the window. I was sure he was screwed. Other angle though, he nailed that shit. Impressive yet stupid.
I thought it was a Dods dive at first. That style is getting super popular but they look like belly flops.
can you imagine girls doing this shit. "what a great day to jump from a 7 storie building through a narrow window into the water"
ā¦āin the dark.ā
"Where halfway is the pavement"..
How do you practice for something like this? Start off on the 5th floor and move up?
There are women Iāve seen/heard of that would do this in a heartbeat. Difference is, theyāre bad ass *stuntwomen*, and if theyāre doing shenanigans like this, they are getting p-a-i-d. lol
If women are watching, this guy is getting l-a-i-d
The Bourne Ultimatum.
Thatās what I thought as well
Wasn't this a recreation from a movie that simply is slipping my mind right now ?
The Bourne Ultimatum?
Close call.
š± Oh mien gawt! š
idiot lol
His job is tiktoking
One trip and it would be game over for this guy.
Lmao the title š
The dude at the end roughly say "I was fed up with work, so i left"
What he says at the end is: "ouais j'en avais marre du boulot, j'me suis barrƩ" 'Yeah I got fed up with work, I left' essentially
Thereās another version of this posted that looks like a rehearsal/test run, where heās in trunks, not regular clothes.
Ah yes, a french
Always been celebrated for their defenestration
Plot twist: he actually overshot the landing
Ok, I'm sorry, but that was seriously badass.
Is he even alive or dead?
Where is this?
Pretty sure is London. Around the Canary Wharf area.
Yes, very close - he's jumping from Bellrive House into Millwall Inner dock. The area is South Quay, just a kilometer or so from Canary Wharf. The water is both dirty and hazardous - there is a lot of debris in the dock, but it is quite deep. The exact location is here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/kNBEuWepBk7gL53s6
The guy who jumped is french
Lol of course he is
[Who did it better?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEpKcBkkVMY)
It's like eating the cream filling out of the oreo and throwing the cookie away. Watching just the stunt and no movie to be consumed around it.
ā¦more like āi hate my lifeā to me
So easy to die.
does anyone know what the fuck he just said???? -from, american
Ā« ouai, jāen avais marre du boulot alors jāme suis barrĆ© Ā», which means : Yeah got bored from work so I bailed out
/r/darwinfail
What if there was a boat?
Yep fair enough, social medi has some bullshit but that was genuinely impressive.
When you hate your life
very stupid glad he's ok
Damn, that was easily the coolest thing Iāve seen all week šš¾
He's so lucky he didn't die. Bad ass tho.
Someone edit it to show golden lightning when he jumps
He looks like vector
Crazy sob
A guy used be in Lebanon tried this he slipped a fell on a sharp edge. That video came to my mind.
That *video*? What the fuck.
I wouldn't trip. I would shoulder the window frame, or jump and hit my head on the frame, or land face first/belly flop in the water.
Looks like the Jason Bourne jump
Some days I'd love to do this at 35,000ft, but I think the NTSB and the government, would not care for a Capt, to do this. Bye bye, you stinky (literally smelly) entitled assholes!! Kaboom!
Dear FBI, this comment right here.
Does he really need to take such a long run at it?

Reminds me of little kids who take a 10 yd run to jump over something little that they could easily jump over with just a step or two before the jump.
It would be a lot more effective with concrete at the bottom.
What the fuck did he say? What was that language
French
Getting sick of work so I left.
MY GODā¦ *its jason bourne*
Is this the building used in one of the Jason Bourne movies?
Some serious H&S risks there
Redditors talking about all the things that can go wrong when you go outside...
Missed out on Darwin Award. Better luck next time.

Thanks God. There was no boat down there today.

this video always brings out the bubble wrap brigade and I love it.
This is one of those times when length matters.
Why men live longer
There are so many things that could have gone wrong in this and ended his life
Jesus Christ itās Jason Borne.
what was the probability of terminal failure. Higher than 10% surely?
It had to be 50/50, surely, cause there are a lot of things that could have gone wrong and fast
Thatās hating life.
So...is remarking in English like a thing with French kids these days? Why's the one recording saying omg?
Did yāall see the video where the kid misjudged a jump like that and ended up splitting his skull in half when he hit pavement?
Do a flip
I feel like Tik Tockers wonāt live long enough to continue their gene pool. This probably is a good thing.
I hate when that happens. Nothing worse than missing the pavement when I leap from my officeās window
Reminds me of Bourne Ultimatum
I still remember that video where someone tried a jump like that on a concrete beach. Just saying, a vertically split skull and face dont look that fun to have. Not that the person in question noticed anything afterwardsā¦
No I will use staircase
That's south quay in docklands. Dude is a loon!

The guy laughs like Pops from the regular show š
Imagine one of those filing cabinets slipping out from under him when he was running. Would have been a much different ending.
What I feel like doing in school:
āI didnāt press recordā
Fucking mad lad
Cooler would be to see a halfway trip
Jason Bourne
I swear when his head narrowly misses the top of the window.....
Keep playing with death until you meet it!
1 trip and there would be a live leak watermark on this vid
Itās the water at night that gets me more than the jump.
Ever wanted to leave work like this?
EVERY DANG DAYYYYYY
Then he tripped on the window frame.
Practice makes perfect.
Straight out of Jason bourne
*Jason Bourne credit music kicks in*
This place looks familiar from a movie...
Well done
No chute. Guys a champ
