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.

It's not that he can't swim, it's the way he landed. He was at an angle not straight up. If you land wrong at a height like this the impact will immediately knock you out, or kill you.

Yep, I've been cliff jumping since 5. So I've got 20 years of experience. I bet this was the first time he jumped from this height. At lower heights, you land wrong, you'll just be in a bunch of pain, and I should know, I've done it a few times when practicing. 100 feet, that's just less than half the height of the golden gate bridge, which is 220 feet. You gotta use your feet to break the surface tension of the water before your body hits. A lot of people wear shoes so they don't hurt their feet too.

Good to know, that wouldn't be for me because I'm afraid of heights
