Why would you jump off a bridge if you didn't know how to swim?

So falls Fatenethor, son of Echfatelion.

he was clearly going to eat her you retard.

He got knocked out by the impact of the water. His back is all blackened due to the internal bleeding.

I burst out laughing first time I saw that. Trips and immediately domes himself.

Somewhat in the same vein, the horse in The Ring jumping off the ferry. The way it flop-tumbled over the railing got me laughing in the theater. The dummy they used was super obvious.

the fall knocked him out. did you see how fucked up and bruised his back was? guy is still a fucking moron.

He was going to eat her you retard. There's plenty to complain about in GoT, pick something else. Like, say, cavalry at the front line and the "front line" behind the artillery.

No.

>"The bottom line is that you can't jump and expect to survive by bringing yourself into a 'good' position,'" Euchner said. "In those split seconds that you have to act, you probably won't have the physical control to bring your body into any position. And even if you knew what to do and you did it, the slightest breeze can turn the body enough to kill. Survival comes down to luck."

So did he get knocked out or just not know how to swim?

Certainly. Hell will freeze before Hollywood comes up with such spectacular death sequences as you can find in your average anime.

break the surface before you land. throw something big before you jump.

So, if a gangster ties you to a big rock and the big rock breaks the surface, you can survive the fall?

Sean Bean, over and over again.

I hate that shit - it kills immersion when its clear the character should of corked it but lives because plot.

Rule of thumb: when shooting a scene, if the dummy and/or stunt doubles are getting wrecked, rewrite the scene, because your character would die there, simple as that.

Landing on back that high, is like hitting solid ground almost. ITs a huge crush injury. All your guts and blood just slam to one side of your body. ripping things, tearing things, squashing things. Now you're underwater as a bonus. Goodbye.

I genuinely like this movie somewhat but good god, why is it so sloppy?

From a physics standpoint you want to limit the average force your body feels. The total momentum change is gonna be the same, so all you can do is stretch out the time taken to disperse that momentum. A pencil dive should minimize average force, but it would be like landing on concrete from that height, and you'd also go in deeper. I'd bet you'd break your ankles, if not your legs, making it hard to swim.

This really is the worst timeline

The ending of Das Boot is probably one of the best death scenes in cinema history.

STOLEN VALOR

He fell for a good 2 seconds, so Δx=(1/2)*g*t^2 = 20 meters, 65 feet. Give or take 10 feet for error

The diver has a stream of water spraying where he lands to break the surface tension. The diver also doesn't land on his back.

because one fell on his feet while the other fell on his back,

>The ending of Das Boot is probably one of the best death scenes in cinema history
agreed, at least in all the movies I've seen

Way less than 172 feet. Its survivable if you jackknife in with your feet or execute a proper dive and break the surface with your arms. As you saw in that clip the diver didn't even execute a perfect dive from 172 feet but he managed to jackknife in well enough that he didn't injure himself.

The belly flop itself probably didn't kill him it just stunned him so badly that he couldn't keep himself from drowning.

hmm that's a tough one OP

The dad is a police officer in Singapore I believe? Somewhere in East Asia. The son was a layabout who didn't do anything but watch anime and play video games. The dad comes home and says the son must surely hate him to not make him proud and do something with his life. As a result, he tells him to shoot the father if he hates him that much. Instead, he shoots himself in the video. I think this is the correct term of events if I remember

>why is it so sloppy?
Because Christopher "One Take" Nolan is a sloppy director.
Having multiple takes and coverage for a scene is important for editing, if everything is just one-take and go, when you cut it all together you run into problems with characters not acting consistently between scenes. If you have multiple takes you can fix continuity errors, and even out the acting. You can have a really amazing take that you can't use in the final edit because it doesn't fit right with the scene immediately before, and after that were maybe all shot weeks apart from each other.
Not to mention a movie develops in editing, what seemed like a good idea on the day of filming can turn out to be awful when you've got a pile of one-take god awful flat wooden actors who aren't warmed up.

the ending of das boot is a retarded historically innacurate asspull because leaving them alive with the story concluded in a satisfying way and some text saying something to the effect of "btw 75% of u boat sailors were dead by the end of the war" to drive home the underlying melancholy was apparently egregious war glorification and borderline fascism. good all the way through then they drop an anvil with the words "war is bad mkay" on your head at the end. pathetic

He already had his.

not a bad jump at all if you pencil dive, then flatten out once you break the surface, which comes naturally. i've jumped from almost as high, no sweat. this guy hit something, couldn't swim, or just landed that poorly, whatever the case it's on him

>YO BRO CHECK THIS OUT
>cut to dead body

release an extra stinky fart right before impact, breaking the surface tension

would you prefer shakey cam you fucking boomer

he jumped with a waterfall, the waterfall is softening the impact by hitting the surface first, so he could survive

if you jumped off the rock right before it hit the water though, you would survive. you'd just have to have enough strength in your legs to jump against however much weight terminal velocity is

he was trying to smack the bullet out of his head

the only true post in this thread. the funeral scene right after where Kirk visibly shudders and has a hard time getting the words out btfos all arguments about Shatner not being able to act. Hes just a hammy stage actor by trade. Maybe not Picard class but still, damn good performance

After a certain height the water is like concrete no matter what position you're in.
Your best bet is going in as straight as possible. Keeping your body straight, arms crossed tight across your chest or flat against your sides.
I remember going off a 10m platform and not having my legs straight enough on entry and the back of my calves were just a solid bruise down to my heel, and it took forever to heal.
Water doesn't compress under pressure very well, so the less surface area making contact at once the better.

>im laying unconscious on the floor making me the victor

Sorry for your loss.

>so he could survive
Probably drown in the sieve if he doesn't know what to do, ie. swim with the current, never against.

i was in the same school/year as this kid, just one example of the retarded stoners you can find in norcal

shaky cam and the adhd slide are the extent of your cinematic moveset? how about they compose a scene that's intended to be impactful artfully for maximum impact, lock the camera down in the exact right spot and then let it play out. it's called mise en scene. add montage and you have cinema. basic. every camera movement should have a purpose otherwise it's just white noise for the brain that detracts from the whole. the faggots making modern movies haven't watched classic movies. without that artistic foundation there's less and less to build on. it's dying

>"I'm so, so tired... let me just lie down here for a moment..."

Im not an expert but ive always been athletic and watched the steve-o documentary where he jumps off of tall shit into water when i was liek 14 and never fucking forgot it, ive jumped off multiple residentials into inground and above ground pools ive done two bridges one 30 ft and one clsoer to 60-80 ft and ive done one hotel roof into a pool. Basically what others have said but whenb you get to the 60 feet range its extrmely important you cross your legs over eachother and point your toes and enter the water perfectly straight, you also have to ensure your arms are tight to your body. I use one hand to hold my nose shut and ensure my head stays back so my chin hitting the water doesnt fuck me up and i hold that arm in place with my other arm. Lastly i read on google when you start getting to greater heights it is of vital importance you clench your anus as tight as possible because water will violently shoot up your ass, idk if ive jumped from heights tall enough to experience this But i tell ya my anus was clenched tight as could be.

To reach a >99% chance of fatality you need to jump from about 50 meters onto concrete or about 75 meters into water.

Jorah's fate was sealed the moment he accepted Heart's Bane from Sam. See, that's an honor sword, for all intents and purposes, a noble house's symbolic dick. Jorah's "dick" was taken from him and given to Jon Snow by Jorah's own father. Jon tried to give it back, but Jorah wisely refused, because he understands that with every kill Longclaw makes in the service of another, his own powers grow. Such powers include but are not limited to:

>Cuck rage - allowing him to ignore vast amounts of pain and perform feats of strength and martial prowess that belie his humble appearance

>Cuck resilience - tempered by decades of humiliation and pain, Jorah's cuckoldry grants him vast reserves of endurance and a constitution so formidable that not even the dreaded greyscale can fell him

>Wisdom of the Cucks: Jorah has gained access to the cumulative knowledge of history and literature's greatest cuckolds, bestowing upon him a limited prescience that allows him to take all appropriate actions that will ultimately result in the maximum benefit of his chosen waifu while also minimizing their appreciation of his role in their happiness and success, thereby increasing the levels of cuckery to mythic proportions.

>Cuck-Sense: clairvoyance that allows Jorah to be aware at all times of where and precisely how his chosen waifu is cucking him, rendering him capable of tracking her movements across whole continents

>Cuckold Awareness - allows Jorah to sense how he is being cucked across all time and all narratives, a Fourth Wall Awareness he can never acknowledge, revealing his fully volitional role in his own metacuckery

So as you can see, Jorah was complicit in his own demise, sensing himself on the verge of actually being recognized and rewarded for his selflessness, loyalty, and nobility, he had to die, thus denying himself one final time, transcending the bounds of fiction and ascending to his rightful place as the patron saint of cuckoldry.

>Oscar-winning actress

at terminal velocity, you'd be disintegrated. they did on myth-busters, and the mannequins after being dropped on concrete were identical to the mannequins after being dropped in water. but a height off 50 m is not sufficient to reach terminal speed. fall from 50 m you'd reach about 30m/s, which is slightly more than half terminal velocity. it's extremely dangerous, but survivable by luck or extreme skill
