There's a quarry not TOO far from me that was the one they used to film a scene from the movie Grown Ups 2. Where Adam Sandler and the other actors jumped off the cliff butt naked. I've been going there and jumping since I was a kid, from experience, this dude just didn't land right. Cliff jumping is real dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. Gotta land straight on your feet, this guy was kinda crooked in his landing. The one near me isn't 100 feet though, but I have jumped from that high before. If you land wrong it can just flat knock you out, best idea is to have people swimming in the water down at the bottom so they can save you and pull you to shore if this happens.
