haha...pics and video are a no go. However, I have a friend that's jumping tomorrow that is likely to bellyflop at ~31mph. A crowd will be in attendance for his performance :p

you'll never get me to bellyflop from that height...and you'll never get him to do it intentionally either. For some reason though, every time he jumps from the platforms (be it 5, 7.5, or 10 for that matter) he starts falling with great form but manages to contort his body at the last second in a manner that causes him much pain when he hits the water.

he's real anxious to get this done and out of the way.

We used to jump off the bridge at school. Hehe, 35 feet isnt too bad, but when the water was down to 5-5.5 feet you had to know how to enter the water )
