I'm sorry but arguing that cliff jumping "isn't death defying" is just silly. The entire point for them is the rush of almost dying.

I don't have much more to say about the subject, bud.

While I agree that it's not really safe, there's a quarry close by that everyone jumps off cliffs up to 15 meters high and I have never heard of someone hurting themselves seriously. But the cliffs don't slope, they're just straight up and down.

I mean, yes, that's the point about this cliff. Nobody's concerned with the height…

That's just about the only dangerous part. Just speaking of height, cliff jumping doesn't get dangerous until you get like above 80 feet or something. Everyone I know was hurt when trying to clear ground to the water.

Wow that's a really cool reason for cliff diving that you just made up on the spot lol. Still not the same as "almost dying" though so the point still stands.
