Awesome. It was only 10 meters but it felt like infinity when you finally got up to the top. SO glad I did it. So..so glad.

Theres this place in west texas called balmorea state park. The park is a deselate wasteland of sand, and scrub brush, but for the oasis of san soloman springs. Its a natural spring that is hundreds of millions of gallons of water, that flow up from underground, and stays 74ish degrees year round, despite the brutal texas heat. There are vast shallow, and deep ends. The deep end is 25 feet deep, and has a high dive. When you stand apon the high dive, you can see clear to the bottom of the spring. Giant fish swimming the deep, and the occasional scuba diver.

Whatever dog Doesn't sound like much until you get up there. It's the highest jump we have at our pool, which hosted the 1996 Olympic Games swimming events.

for real, if you don't hit that water just right you can really hurt yourself. We've got a 60 foot cliff in my hometown. A girl broke her ankle when she landed wrong, and another got knocked unconcious, and my friend had to jump after, and rescue her.

This one time I jumped from 17,000 feet, true story.
Only I didn't use water to break my fall, I used a parachute.

The highest I've jumped was 15 meters. The tower itself is 14 meters, I've jumped once from the handle.

I really don't enjoy jumping from so high anymore. It sure is thrilling, but I rather enjoy jumping flips and other creative jumps from lover floors.
