New Urban Legend?! Jumping Off Waterfalls Feet First Can Kill You? Water Pressure Shoots Up Your ***!?

Here’s the urban legend:

Man finds beautiful spot in nature, the top of a manageable waterfall, ~20-40 feet (or maybe more) above a diveable pool.

Man wants to dive off waterfall and plunge down into the cold crisp waters below. Doesn’t want to dive, doesn’t want to break his neck, belly flop or drown, so Man decides to jump…

Feet First. But upon impact, even in a perfect straight pencil dive, the water pressure shoot up the Man’s ***/rages up it, and totally destroys the Man’s rectum, wrecking internal organs and such, etc. Killing him.

Is this possible? Can Man get killed jumping in feet first? What kind of injuries can Man sustain and at what heights of jump?

I suppose anything is possible, but I would doubt that an unintentional enema will kill you. At least not as fast as hitting your head on the bottom.

Keep in mind that diving platforms for competition are 10M (about 33 feet), while diving platforms for aqua shows are much higher.
