Information from website article: DO NOT JUMP OFF WATERFALLS FOR FUN. JUMPING OFF WATERFALLS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND CAN INJURE OR KILL PEOPLE.
If you do end up falling off a waterfall, here's how to increase your chances of surviving with minimal injuries:
Cover your head with your hands to protect yourself from head injuries.
Press your nose into your elbow, and close your eyes and mouth. This is to prevent injuries to your nose, eyes and mouth.
Fall feet first, to protect your head.
Tense your muscles, keep your feet together, to reduce pain and reduce risk of injuries from hitting water.
Once you hit water, start swimming away from the waterfall instantly, even before you reach the water's surface. This is so the force of the waterfall can't pull you under, and helps reduce your chances of drowning.
