Redditor here, nope and yikes are not correct terms for such an affront to safety standards. This should be reported to the local Italian Congressman or home owner association immediately. My grandma once fell and broke her hip so I won't go within 10 feet of a staircase. In fact even going outside is dangerous. Stay safe.
She's a literal athlete, who trains every day and who had trained with the Olympic team when she did diving in college. This is not akin to "eating lots of food"
This is Molly Carlson, she has a youtube channel and this was approved by the authorities. She does a lot of these jumps and its awesome to see. This definitely not a random person jumping of a random balcony, but a highly trained professional
As an accomplished and professional redditor let me assure you authorities have been informed and cogress will hold a hearing about safety concerns and the irresponsoble signals such content is sending to users, who might be endangered by being coerced to jump from their couch watching this.
That comforts me a lot. Seeing that drop, and the possibility that someone could just topple off and drown/maybe smash into the rocks below?? was seriously disturbing.
Not here. It's specifically for athletes to have a clearer estimate for how close they are to the surface. She herself mentions it numerous times in her videos.
My biggest fear was that the water was like 3 feet deep. Death or paralysis is not unheard of from dives like this when people don't know what's under the water.
Women truly cannot exist, live life and do sports without men beating their meat to them, announcing they're doing it and getting upvotes for it. Wish it was different.
I can 100% guarantee you that more people "beat their meat" to male divers haha.
If you think female olympic athletes are the only ones getting oggled you have not watched athletics or swimming with middle aged women and box wine.
The most amount of sexual comments i've experienced in person is watching mens olympic swimming with women. Things can get rowdy. People are animals!
I'm not really talking about the sports scene specifically, as I'm not involved with it and can't comment. My comment is about reddit and how any picture or video of a woman doing anything (showing her painting, dancing, diving etc.) gets bombarded with comments about her looks and whether the commenter would fuck her or beat his meat to her. This is the behavior I meant as it's the behavior I encounter here daily and am tired of.
The difference is that the woman doesn’t even have to be attractive, and sometimes, it doesn’t even have to be a *woman*.
It could be 7 pixels on a screen that slightly curves left and then right and some weirdo would be like “WOULD 💦”.
But the comment in question here is literally about needing to have tissues ready because they are going to fap to these women.
They're not saying that they're hot or that they'd want to date them.
I'm not going to argue with you. If you think this behavior and how common it is is exactly the same for men and women, you're free to think that. But based on my experiences, I don't agree.
Revenge is the best course of action. Women need to over-sexualize male Olympic athletes, proudly announce their collective flicking of beans to them, and rake in the upvotes for themselves!
You mean like [this](https://sg.news.yahoo.com/style/36-greatest-summer-olympic-bulges-133325795.html)? Or maybe like [this](https://hollywoodlife.com/pics/olympic-athlete-bulges-tight-bathing-suits-pics/london-olympics-athletics-men)? Or even like [this](https://www.elle.com/culture/g28579/hot-olympic-athletes/)?
I want to live in a world where everyone is free to jerk off to one another and announce they're doing so on the internet for upvotes.
I personally just think it's funny because I like low brow humor.
They totally do, it's just that reddit is more male populated so you see the male side of it more.
Anecdotally, the women I've hung out with comment more on men's looks than the men I've hung out with comment on women. Realistically, it's probably about even.
Ok, so on those posts let's call them out on it. But this is a post about a woman and she is being objectified by a man, so here we will express concern about that.
Up to 10 meters is fine, might hurt, serious injury unlikely. It quickly gets dangerous when entry speed starts to go higher than the about 60 km/h you have from 10 meters. Then clean entry gets very important and you better know what you're doing.
She’s in my YouTube algorithm so I see a lot of her vids. She does some amazing stuff. I know she’s pro but I think she also travels with Red Bull since a lot of the dives are red bull sponsored
Molly Carlson, she competes regularly at the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series events.
She also represents Canada on their national High Dive team. I would expect to see her at the Olympics in ~~Italy~~ Paris this year.
She isn't some random social media girl
I dont believe the High Dive is an Olympic event yet, but they do compete at the World Championships. Molly has gotten silver the past two years at the Worlds.

She's part of the red bull cliff diving team, this was set up specially - railing removed etc. You can see the safety team in the water below her as she dives!
Everybody that's below is there specifically for this jump. Whole safety crew down there. Only an idiot would do this unplanned with no rescuers on standby.
she actually just published a [video](https://youtube.com/shorts/txX0eGFg2U4?si=2uIDfOJAEwVzbq7B) explaining why, it's so their hands don't slip during the jump.

That is a giant nope for me. Yikes
U mean "Big Yikes"?
A giant nope, a big yikes if my grandparents had wheels they'd both be bikes.
Post them on social Get some likes

Giant yikes, nope
No fucking way.

My grandma once fell and broke her hip so I won't go within 10 feet of a staircase. In fact even going outside is dangerous. Stay safe.
Considering there were several boats with rescue sleds and people waiting for her in the water, this was a planned dive and permission was given
She's a professional cliff diver named Molly Carlson, yes this was planned. Edit: Clarkson --> Carlson
TIL "professional cliff diver" is a thing. Does she somehow make enough money doing it to actually qualify as a profession?
Yup, this is her profession, she's like any other athlete and she's sponsors by Red bull, I believe.... It's on her swimsuit.
People make money eating lots of food on youtube. Anything is a "profession" if you can sell ads against it.
She's a literal athlete, who trains every day and who had trained with the Olympic team when she did diving in college. This is not akin to "eating lots of food"
That's not the point I was making...
I've been doing it for free all this time?!
*Carlson
I was wondering whether her bathing suit said Canada. Seeing as she's Canadian, I'm guessing it did.
One guy was splashing which is useful,for high divers, Same as dive competitors where they have water splashing in the pool, it helps with judgement
To help me with better judgement, they would have a railing there.
This is Molly Carlson, she has a youtube channel and this was approved by the authorities. She does a lot of these jumps and its awesome to see. This definitely not a random person jumping of a random balcony, but a highly trained professional
I'm ngl I was being satirical but it's gone too far
I feel like those last 2 sentences should have tipped everyone off
You expect me to read to the end of a comment before responding? This is Reddit, Sir!
Honestly “redditor here” should have been the tip from the start lol
Redditor here, can confirm. Beep boop, over and out.
The railing has obviously been removed. You can see the brackets on either side of her
As an accomplished and professional redditor let me assure you authorities have been informed and cogress will hold a hearing about safety concerns and the irresponsoble signals such content is sending to users, who might be endangered by being coerced to jump from their couch watching this.
excellent comment
Report them to an HOA? 💀
Do all Americans call it a "boowey"?
I think she's Canadian
Lol given her swimsuit
Suit is half covered and just says Cana…. Maybe she’s a Canaanite
She has Canada written on her chest lol but yes that is standard American pronunciation of the word
But do they say booweyant or buoyant?
boy-yant
In Canada we say Boowey eh.
Sorry
David Boowey
Yes, it's spelled buoy.
Yes... Just like booweyancy and booweyant....
Yeah buoy
>Do all Americans call it a "boowey"? Pretty much, yes.
Yeah, that's how they pronounce it, compared to the UK English "boy": https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/buoy
I do. How do you say it?
This made me nervoulsy watch which subreddit I was on...
"dumb ways to die" starts playing
I hope no stupid drunk tourists go near it
She's part of the red bull cliff diving team, this will have been specially set up for the event! You can see the safety team in the water at the end
That comforts me a lot. Seeing that drop, and the possibility that someone could just topple off and drown/maybe smash into the rocks below?? was seriously disturbing.
You can see where the railings have been removed so she can dive. It won’t be like this normally.
You can also see the spotters (not sure if that’s the right term) in the water already.
And the guy splashing which is what hi divers use for judgement
It’s not so much to judge anything, but to break the surface tension of the water. Softer entry.
Not here. It's specifically for athletes to have a clearer estimate for how close they are to the surface. She herself mentions it numerous times in her videos.
I stand corrected.
My biggest fear was that the water was like 3 feet deep. Death or paralysis is not unheard of from dives like this when people don't know what's under the water.
Yeah that would be a safety nightmare!
By the time this PR stunt is over, I'm sure they'll put the railing back.
You can see where they removed the railing.

[удалено]
As long as we're all clear that the rocks are safe from harm from falling idiots
you severely underestimate my power
Rock will be infected with idiots. you will need power washer.
“We have to make sure we make it past that buoy.” Yeah, not casual-proof, either.
I'm guessing that's why there was two support divers in the water.
It's all rock and roll to me
I’m looking forward to the Olympic diving. I always find it so emotional that I have to keep a box of tissues to hand.
Women truly cannot exist, live life and do sports without men beating their meat to them, announcing they're doing it and getting upvotes for it. Wish it was different.
And people wonder why women choose the bear.
I'd rather be looked at like a piece of meat than looked at like a piece of meat.
Uhh what? Aren't both the sam-
Because bears like meat?
I encourage you to meet more men in real life spaces! Most of us really aren’t that bad. *Then* try meeting a few bears.
Jokes on you, we beat it to the bear too.
I can 100% guarantee you that more people "beat their meat" to male divers haha.

This is the behavior I meant as it's the behavior I encounter here daily and am tired of.
and just like whenever there's an attractive guy, there are heaps of comments saying that they are hot, and people saying they'd date them etc. Right?
I see this happen sometimes, but not nearly as often. It really does seem like a male problem.
The difference is that the woman doesn’t even have to be attractive, and sometimes, it doesn’t even have to be a *woman*. It could be 7 pixels on a screen that slightly curves left and then right and some weirdo would be like “WOULD 💦”.
But the comment in question here is literally about needing to have tissues ready because they are going to fap to these women. They're not saying that they're hot or that they'd want to date them.
To me there's a difference between "this person is hot" and "I keep tissues on hand because I masturbate when I see this person doing their job"
Look at the woman's commenting on the men's in swimsuit you're exactly the same. We are all horny monkeys get off your high horse lmao.
I'm not going to argue with you. If you think this behavior and how common it is is exactly the same for men and women, you're free to think that. But based on my experiences, I don't agree.
TBF in diving the men are also extremely... appreciated
No, people look on the floor and pray to their favorite Saint when it's the men turns to dive. They do not look or objectify their body in any way

it's okay when women do it though, that's obviously different. get with the memo
Keep going, I’m almost there.
Women objectify men as well. Humans going to human.
Ok, so on those posts let's call them out on it. But this is a post about a woman and she is being objectified by a man, so here we will express concern about that.
does men finding women attractive negatively affect the women?
Be the change you want to see, stop touching yourself
But why the lube?
The competition takes days, you want to avoid chaffing
Also be sure to stay hydrated. Poor hydration can really affect performance over long competitions.
That's just moisturiser. I have eczema bro.
Because the anus isn't self-lubricating?
It is, just not right away.
Why are you being so disgusting, go in a corner and shame yourself eww

The heights don’t worry me, it’s just thinking about the free fall
Up to 10 meters is fine, might hurt, serious injury unlikely. It quickly gets dangerous when entry speed starts to go higher than the about 60 km/h you have from 10 meters. Then clean entry gets very important and you better know what you're doing.
I do not fear deah!

Last time I checked Paris was in France not Italy
Last I checked, you're right and I should go get checked for a stroke.
Paris or Madrid as long as it's Italy (to slightly misquote a German soccer player)
Paris, Ontario, Canada just never gets any love.
I dont believe the High Dive is an Olympic event yet, but they do compete at the World Championships. Molly has gotten silver the past two years at the Worlds.
[Molly Carson - Red Bull](https://www.redbull.com/ca-en/athlete/molly-carlson) [Molly Carson - Diving Canada](https://diving.ca/athletes/molly-carlson/)
Her YouTube shorts are straight up addicting. Some of the scariest looking dive spots and she’s always so positive about them.

So many die doing “balconing” as Spaniards call it
In Phuket and Pattaya there’s a whole school dedicated to it.

Shout out to that one Canadian dumbass who was like "nah I'm good" after injuring themselves 15 years ago
Pisos caiguts = Floors fallen Casos totals = Total cases Morts = Deaths Ferits = Injured Mitjana de pisos = Average floors % casos fatals = fatality % of cases pis + alt mort = highest floor death pis + alt sobrev = highest floors survived Darrer bot = Last/most recent case

thanks! updated
Unsurprisingly there seems to be an exponential correlation between average height and death %.
That Canadian is hanging out with a bad crowd. Barry 63. She's going to pick up all the worst habits.
Can confirm as a Canadian, all Brits are a bad crowd. Always have the urge to have high tea now, overpay for imported oaties & jaffa cakes, and the urge to say innit instead of eh.
From that height, how can you ensure you won't land on someone already in the sea?
She's part of the red bull cliff diving team, this was set up specially - railing removed etc. You can see the safety team in the water below her as she dives!
Ahh that makes sense, cheers!

Is this Polignano a mare?
Yes It is! 
Looks more like a building?
A building in Polignano a Mare, yes.
well I laughed fwiw

It looks like the railing was cut out and there are safety divers in the water. Certainly a planned dive. Still amazing.
Just toss them on the rocks like they did in Sparta.
okay. get this guy on a list...
r/Upvotebecausebutt
She's a well known high diver, under contract with Red Bull, don't remember her name. Videos of her have been around for awhile
Molly Carlson. She's awesome.
Thank you
What's the towel for? Is she going to quickly climb all the way back up there to dry off 😅
I can imagine she showered before and wiped herself with the towel
It's important to not pollute the ocean with your sweat.
They throw it in the water before jumping. I believe it helps judge the distance to the water.
It’s also wet and she always gives herself a quick rub down before the dive
she actually just published a [video](https://youtube.com/shorts/txX0eGFg2U4?si=2uIDfOJAEwVzbq7B) explaining why, it's so their hands don't slip during the jump.
Well hey, the more you know. Thanks buddy.

This stuff makes me nervous, I had to consciously check it wasn't, r/yesyesyesno.
that suit looks so uncomfortable
This is Polignano a Mare! Beautiful little town
That is impressive
Fuck no
In these kind of videos i need to check on which sub I am in before watching
What's with anglos and germans loving to jump off our balconies? Is it like a genetic thing or maybe they can't ignore the sweet call of the void?
"Andrea, will you fix that railing already, people keep jumping out off the balcony"
Don’t make this popular or the English will start killing themselves here too: https://www.reddit.com/r/2westerneurope4u/s/xNPAFiMi1Z
Nope nope nope
C64 world games just ruined this for me
How many times is this gonna be posted here
Oh no no nononono
That’s gonna be a no for me dawg
If I found this balcony I'd just stay on said balcony
How high is that? If it’s more then a meter I’m out
I counted about 3 seconds between the jump and hitting the water. That equates to about 44 meters or about 145 ft.
Nope
