Re: Dutch Tourist Dies After Jumping Off From Mallorca Cliff
Even if he had made it he was going to suffer a burst spleen, profound kidney damage, and probably a shattered pelvis. It takes serious training and technique to jump into water from that height and even the professionals get killed doing it. From 100 feet, hitting water is equivalent to hitting concrete unless you jackknife in as a professional is trained to do.

The outcome may have been different with better trajectory. That was less 'Usain Bolt' and more 'Wyle E. Coyote'. Nonetheless, what a terrible feeling on the way down.

Re: Dutch Tourist Dies After Jumping Off From Mallorca Cliff
The comment above you points out he's Moroccan. Is Morocco a first world country? Even having to ask that question I think probably shows it's not or I'm just a stupid f***. But I bet you're disappointed knowing it wasn't a white guy, or whatever you meant by your comment  |

Just cannot understand why anyone thought that jump was possible. Unbelievable.  |

Re: Dutch Tourist Dies After Jumping Off From Mallorca Cliff
Maybe, maybe not. If it was a suicide done so as to look like an accident (e.g., for insurance purposes), it was well done.

Re: Dutch Tourist Dies After Jumping Off From Mallorca Cliff
That had to be suicide, he just wanted to make it festive. What did he think he was gonna do if he landed in the water? swim in that current? LOL suicide. |

Re: Dutch Tourist Dies After Jumping Off From Mallorca Cliff
He was Morrocan living in the Netherlands (Dutch nationality)So he more than likely grew up in a ''first world country'' and no, Morocco isn't first world even tho it hugely depends on where you are in Morocco aka city vs small town. I'm sure they were trying to have a nice video for Instagram for likes and look what it gave them. That cliff btw has a height of 25 meters or for the yanks: 82 ft. |
