Uploaded merely three days before, the post by Ken Stornes has so far garnered a huge 3,037,436 likes. And netizens have come up with encouraging comments.
“Does throwing a rock first make the jump hurt less?” asked an user and another replied, “If you don’t throw the rock to break the surface of the water it’s like jumping onto a concrete floor from that high, most suicide deaths jumping from bridges die from impact because of this.” “Did you get the rock back?” asked yet another user in his comment.
“Into the hardest hitting water too,” another user added.
“Genuinely thought you’d die doing this, his massive nuts must have softened the impact,” commented another user.
