They used to have crazy dangerous high dive competitions in the 80s where dudes in nothing but a speedo would compete to see who could jump from the highest platform. They had three rules:
1. You had to do at least 180 degrees of rotation
2. No protective equipment of any kind allowed
3. You had to leave the pool after the dive without assistance
One year they jumped from 170 feet and every single competitor suffered an injury so the next year they raised it 2 feet higher. Five divers completed it successfully and those records have never been broken. The people that have attempted to break it have failed by not being able to leave the pool without assistance (one guy broke his back lol). The record may never be broken because very few people are r-slurred enough to attempt a dive from 172+ feet in nothing but a speedo.
