Jumping into a still surface of water after a certain height is like jumping into a concrete pavement, the water tension combined with the velocity is more than enough to shatter bones and cause internal injuries. There is an urban legend about throwing a hammer just before jumping in order to break the water surface but mythbusters tried and the test dummy still 'died'. In order to survive from such a fall you need to throw something large and heavy enough to sufficiently break the water surface before you hit the water.
