We have a new record for a high dive into a shallow pool

BBC - A US shallow diver has broken his own world record by swan-diving 36ft (11m) into a paddling pool containing just 12in (30.5cm) of water.

Darren Taylor, also known as Professor Splash, dived into a pool of near-freezing water in Trondheim, Norway, making the jump his 13th Guinness certified record.
Mr Taylor, who is from Colorado in the US, has 25 years' professional high-diving experience and works as a stunt diver.

Hey Professor Splash, don't shit at shitter..  The "cushion effect" you are talking about is that giant gray gym mat that they put under the pool.  When I was in junior high I would climb that rope in gym class and jump off of it on to one of those things.  It didn't hurt at all because it's a fucking giant pad made to prevent injury.  If you want to impress me, fill up your little kiddie pool in a parking lot with no pad under it, dive into it and then yell "I feel glorious! I feel fantastic! Thank you Norway!".
