[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid who does cliff jumping.  Oddly it’s a thing.  You hike to places where you can jump into water - typically 50-75 feet.  Easy on the hands though.  [/quote]

Like competitive?
Or just in their own? 
Where are some places to do this?[/quote]

It’s not one v one competitive.  More along the lines of “checking that jump off the list”.
 
Thirst for adrenaline website has locations by State.

Big things are to not “invent” a location.  Go where others go.

My kid goes with two friends.  Their rule is to have someone ready to help at the bottom if needed.  No problems yet, but they know lots of folks can launch poorly and end up with a belly or back smacker.  You could knock the wind out of yourself pretty easily.

Obviously - Jump only if there is a known safe landing area.  They go to places that others have used.  Know where to get out after jumping.   If it is a little distance to shallow water they do a friend on a float board so they are around to help.  Mostly they worry about getting the wind knocked out of them.  Wear water shoes.  Lots of places are jumping into river pools rather than a lake so there can be a current to keep in mind when thinking where to get out.  The water can be very cold so plan for that.  No drinking until after you are done.
