whaaaa???

He's hitting the water at about 50mph! Why isn't THAT in the Olympics?

Wow.

- wrong..
  actualy its 52km/h.. and 32.2 mp/h and he takes 3.2 to get to the water

- 3.2 seconds to hit the water
  is correct, ignoring effects of air resistance. But that means he'll be travelling at approximately 31 metres per second at impact, which is 113 km per hour, which is 70 miles per hour.
  
  Don't know where you got 52km/h from - except that 172 feet is 52 metres - the height of the board.

- but...but... you're wrong.
  that was not a straight fall. He jumped at least a foot up before falling !

- Acually
  you can dive from any heigt, and still not go under 4 meters below surfise because the density of the water grows alot for every meter.
  
  my english=not good

- Actually
  The density does not increase. The pressure increases....BuYAHH

  you're right, more or less. Water is almost incompressible - but it is a tiny bit compressible, therefore the density will be a tiny bit higher. It's irrelevant for the purpose of this video, but in deep bodies of water the deep water is usually considerably colder and therefore relatively more dense than surface waters.
  
  Do you agree?

- I guess
  But all matter is compressible to infinite density under enough pressure. Though it also does not apply in this case.

This video is circa 1984..
when Dan was about 23 years old.
This guy really has nerves of steel.

  He jumped in feet first. No biggie. And one thing for sure, his nose wasn't getting sunburnt.

  that you can jump from that high right asshole...

- ya, peeps think he took forever to jump
  
  but how long would YOU need to get ready to possibly jump to your death?
  
  The line between bravery and utter senselessness is frog hair thin.

  but the climb up the ladder must be exhausting too. That's a high way up.

think this is the best video I've seen. When was it, looks like the 80's.

Olympics
The Olympics of today are a far cry from yesteryear....and yes, the crooked 7.5 judge should have been made to walk the plank at 173ft!

lol

Oh man...
The judge that gave him a 7.5 should be thrown from 173 feet.

totally
insane

it would be funny if he climbed out of the pool and he had lost his shorts xD

About the speed :)
Okay. If he's in the air 3.2 sek it's simpel.. Gravity is 9.82 m/s2. (9.82*3.2)*3.6 end result is in km/t. wich in this case is 113 km/t that he hits the water, minus of cause the wind uplift, wich in the beginning of a jump isn't that much.. So i guess between 100-110 km/t at the water surface.. in American miles it's between 62.5-68.75 mph

- you guys
  are making it seem as if it is that easy. First off, wind resistance, although not negligible will not affect his velocity that much from such a distance. And as he is traveling 9.8ms-1, you cannot simply multiply to get the answer. He is accelerating all the way down. A car traveling at 100 mph will from point a to point b a hundred miles away take 60 minutes. A car at rest increasing in acceleration til it reaches 100mph will take more time to get to point b. Kinematics is more complicated than a times b equals c
