I just watched a documentary about this last night.(not this guy but other people who jump off to commit suicide) Craziest thing was that one guy who was bipolar decided he wanted to jump but then once he was in the air he had time to change his mind(apparently its like a 50 second drop...) and turned over and landed feet first. He broke a few bones but managed to swim back up at least 30-40 feet after a really strong impact. He said he felt something on his legs and later they told him a seal or something had helped him. Pretty crazy.

It's about 4 seconds. I think that you meant 5 seconds?
I have seen that documentary (The Bridge) too.

I guess your right. I was watching this on tv at like 2AM yesterday. I was only half paying attention.

Looks like he doesn't know the difference between a real suicide and just risking his life to dive.
