Chapter 158: A Leap of Faith (Part 3!)
I have to say, the scenery here is beautiful.
But Ye Xuan didn't have the heart to enjoy this beautiful scenery at the moment, standing on the cliff and observing for a while, he slowly spoke: "At present, I have two choices, the first is to take a detour, return the same way into the jungle, and bypass this cliff. But once you do, not only will an hour be wasted, but you will need to spend an extra few hours. ”
The critical jungle is full of dangers, and with his current state, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen.
After a slight pause, Ye Xuan continued: "The second option is to jump directly into the pool from here. Although there is a certain risk, it is hundreds of times faster than the former. ”
In fact, to be honest, if it was yesterday, he would definitely not say a word, turn around and go back, but now he hesitates. Because his mental state is so poor now, the risk of staying in the jungle for a few more hours is not lower than diving, and even higher.
After frowning and pondering for a moment, Ye Xuan had already made a decision in his heart.
"I'll choose the second option, jump from here!"
Hearing him say that he was going to jump off the cliff, the live broadcast room suddenly exploded.
"Damn, playing so big?"
"This TM is at least twenty or thirty meters tall!"
"666, the patriarch is still so grumpy. ”
"After all, the patriarch, the stroke of the anus. ”
"Sell snacks, drinks, cigarettes, and put away the front ones. ”
"Jumping so high is no different from falling on the concrete floor. ”
"It's like 50 meters of water, which is equivalent to a concrete floor. ”
"Speaking of 50 meters, I'm afraid you don't know the Red Bull Death Squad!"
Ye Xuan glanced at the barrage, did not speak, but stepped forward again, visually measured the height difference from the cliff to the waterhole, and then picked up a large stone and threw it towards the waterhole below.
The moment the stone was thrown, his eyes were staring at the stone, and at the same time, his heart began to count the seconds silently. When he counted to 2 and was about to count 3, the stone fell into the water, causing a high spray.
This is a very practical way to calculate the height, and although there are errors in the data, it will not differ too much. The calculation is simple, multiply the number of seconds the stone falls by 10, which is the approximate height.
After getting the approximate height, he said: "First of all, to correct a little mistake, the so-called falling from a height of 50 into the water is equivalent to falling on the concrete floor, this statement is pure rumor. ”
"There's a show on the Discovery Channel called 'Mythbusters.' One of the phases was to conduct several tests in response to this rumor. The results of the test proved that the person fell into the water from a height of 50 meters, and did not fall to pieces, as rumored to happen. As for the cause of death, it is due to factors such as fractures, damage to internal organs, and suffocation, rather than a direct fall. ”
"The International Cliff Diving Federation stipulates that the safe height for adult males is 23-28 meters. In Mexico, there is a well-known high-altitude diving event with a height of 60 meters. Although there is a certain amount of risk, it has been proven that it is possible to dive even at a height of 60 meters. I probably tested it, and the height from the cliff to the waterhole was about 25 meters. This height is perfectly fine if the posture is correct. ”
After speaking, Ye Xuan did not rush to dive, but turned around and walked towards the jungle on the left.
Just when the audience thought he was intimidated, he explained: "Before I dive, I need to confirm the depth of the pool. Otherwise, if the waterhole is too shallow, not to mention 25 meters high, 2.5 meters high may be life-threatening. ”
Although some people can jump from a height into a pool less than a meter deep without guaranteeing safety, it is too difficult. It is impossible to complete it without years of training.
So in order to be safe, he had to determine the depth of the water first.
Back in the jungle, Ye Xuan took out the dagger and began to chop down branches nearby. The branches he chose were all at least 3 meters long and straight throughout.
3 meters is a safe value, he is not a professional diver, if the depth of the pool below is less than 3 meters, then he can only give up and choose to detour.
It took him more than ten minutes to chop a total of five, and then he took these long wooden sticks like javelins and came to the edge of the cliff again.
Picking up a wooden stick, Ye Xuan aimed at the center of the waterhole and threw it suddenly.
Suddenly, the 3-meter-long wooden stick flew like a javelin towards the pool below. Soon, after touching the surface of the water, the whole root was completely submerged in the water. After a few seconds, the sticks slowly floated up from the bottom of the water to the surface of the water, and then rushed to the edge of the pool by the impact of the waterfall.
"The length of the stick is 3 meters, and it is completely submerged in the water, which proves that the pool below is at least 3 meters deep. But that's not enough, I need to try a few more times. Because there are likely to be large boulders hidden in this kind of waterfall pool, if this height hits the stones, you can call someone to help me collect the body. So, I have to make sure it's 100% safe. ”
Then he threw the remaining four sticks in his hand one by one in the selected area. When I saw that all these wooden sticks were submerged in the water, I was completely relieved.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, Ye Xuan's eyes were firmly fixed on the target area in the center of the pool, and at the same time he said: "This kind of high-altitude diving, you must pay attention to your posture. If you're a professional diver, you can use any position, but if you're a beginner, it's a good idea to jot down my next words carefully. ”
"Don't think about front flips or free spins, all you need to do is straighten up and drop your feet into the water. In addition, in the process of diving, you must keep your body as vertical as possible, otherwise in the inclined state, the tension of the water surface will teach you to be a person every minute. Finally, pinch your nose with one hand and cover your crotch with the other. Especially male viewers, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”
At a height of 25 meters, the impact generated is very strong. And the balls are one of the most vulnerable places for men, and if there is no protection, the impact caused by the moment of falling into the water is so sour that it is indescribable.
"Good, 25 meters high, leap of faith!"
"Do you want to cover your crotch for Mao?"
"I thought the same thing as you then, and now... Don't talk about it, the egg hurts. ”
"Really TM red chicken. ”
"The show is still the patriarch show. ”
"Haha, covering your crotch is the most sassy. ”
"True Leap of Faith!"
"You're jumping. ”
Ye Xuan jumped into the water, although the highest is only 5 meters, but the diving safety action is universal, whether it is 5 meters or 50 meters. Moreover, the splash generated by the impact of the waterfall breaks the tension of the local water surface in advance, which greatly reduces the difficulty of diving.
After taking a deep breath, Ye Xuan pinched his nose with one hand and covered his crotch with the other, and the whole person jumped towards the pool below.
At an altitude of 25 meters, there will be a second or two when falling. In this process, Ye Xuan tried to maintain his body balance, all the muscles in his body were tense, and the whole person was like a javelin, straight into the pool.
"Poof!"
The moment his feet touched the surface of the water, he could clearly feel that the tension on the surface of the water was squeezed away by himself, and a huge impact surged from the bottom up.
