Question by phil : At velocity does water get as hard as cement on contact? I know I've seen shows on like cliff diving where they explain how water can break every bone in your body if you dive wrong and your going fast enough on contact. What is that velocity you need to be going/how high do you have to be when you jump to reach that velocity?

Best answer: Answer by climberguy12 even at terminal velocity, you still wouldnt be going fast enough, if you dive right. its all about surface area and how you land and stuff like that. if more surface area hits, it will be harder.

make it a good day
