An 18-year-old man in Sahibganj district of Jharkhand drowned after he jumped into deep water from a height to make an Instagram reel.
The man, Tausif, jumped into a quarry lake from a height of about 100 feet. His friends, who were bathing in the lake, tried to save him but were unsuccessful.
They alerted locals and police, and a search operation was launched. The youth's body was recovered later.

Feet first is how you're supposed to land while cliff diving. If you're kinda sideways it could jerk your head to the side smacking the water and break your neck or get knocked out, but you have to be straight up. It's really dangerous, and one wrong move and you could die or get knocked out. It's basically the same as a "pencil dive" where you just jump in feet first and your feet break the surface of the water, cushioning the impact. They also should have had people at the bottom just in case it goes wrong, but they just watch him drown instead.
So you're 100% right. He's done for cause he didn't know how to keep himself straight. That's why people flail their arms trying to get into position before hitting the water, then straighten up.

The Mexican cliff divers sometimes land face first, even from the highest ledge. But they must have some kind of trick to not end up like this guy.

The only trick is to land feet first. With people in the water in case of exactly this.

I've got at least 20 years experience cliff diving. His friends clearly didn't give a shit. Otherwise they would have precautions before he jumped at that height. A couple people in the water, or on the shore at the bottom. They could have saved him, yet everyone is at the top and don't give a shit.

Yeah with higher cliffs he shoulda started with the lower ones. It is kinda difficult to get yourself to land correctly. Unfortunately this guy has no experience and no one to save him, they just stood there recording. Not even one attempt to save him. Just watched him die.

Looked like he was tried plugging his nose with his left hand too just before he landed in the water. It's a habit for many.

Doesn't he do a few strokes before passing out?

Probably a last ditch attempt before he passed out he had to have belly flopped because he was OUT and when you watch the clip you can see his feet hit then he goes knees first then his face (keep in mind that's like a 100 foot jump)

I'm with you 110%
It's funny how I was thinking something and then you so accurately put to words my thoughts and even included freezeframe close ups of the exact moments of each events happening.

If he knocked himself out, how did he manage to swim for about 2 seconds?

I don't see any attempt at swimming. His arms and legs don't flail at all. His body is likely moving based on its past momentum and water currents alone.

What do you mean? When he hit the water he stays in the same spot for a moment and then he starts swimming. You can literally see the white water from his legs kicking and his arms moving to cut through the water. He 100% swam.

yeah i think he did start swimming. but i noticed that he was only using his right arm. he probably broke his left arm, and maybe some ribs, and passed out from the pain.
