[@anonymousaccordionist3326]

@Southern Fun Actually, yes it is. Not only do children have a much higher power to weight ratio, meaning they are stronger in comparison to their body weight than an adult, at an adolescent age, their growth spurt allows them to gain muscle very quickly, much faster than adults. That means they progress very much faster than someone who begins later in life.

[@evab.6240]

@@anonymousaccordionist3326 Yup. Spot on.

[@brotothewilliams9890]

Its actually not hard it take about 3 months of training if your not fat to be able to hold you weight. Proper form will take longer gaining the strength isnt hard at all

To all the people complaining about there not being a way down: Psicocomp is a deep water climbing competition. It is specifically designed without a way down because that's part of deepwater climbing. The competitors know this coming in, and they tend to really enjoy it; that's why they're participating in the first place.

[@Turnpost2552]

They should seperate it. Like diving isnt a sport lol

[@doriandundee9906]

@@adolphin9348 So as a person who's afraid of heights, similar to the ladies in the video you would then jump down? Or not compete at all because you knew this is part of it? I guess if this is explicitly marketed as the ''climbing event that features an Olympic dive at the end'' then that's fine but at the same time, do people who want to compete and make a name for themselves in the sport really have a choice but to compete? I don't think it's as black and white as you would have us believe. ''Having a choice'' is often an illusion and just said by people who haven't fully understood all the moving parts and variables. This is done for entertainment. There is no value of the jump when it comes to the actual sport of climbing so that being said, how would you feel about this ''gimmick'' if one of the athletes got injured in the jump? I would say that's terrible. Getting an athlete injured for entertainment purposes that had nothing to do with the sport as such is not ok. And before you ask, yes, you can absolutely injure yourself jumping from that height EVEN when hitting the water. You can easily walk away from that with a permanent injury that in the case of rock climbing would end a career. Dives from that height do in fact require training or at least some sort of understanding of the human form. It's precisely this which makes Olympic dives so spectacular. Because you and I couldn't do what they do without injury. I guess... everyone is free to play stupid games as much as their heart desires it but then they shouldn't get surprised if they win stupid prizes? Is that ok to say?

[@ClemensAlive]

The scariest part for me would be the jump. I like climbing...until I look down.

[@siriosstar4789]

I like climbing , unless there is something better on another channel.

[@jordansullivan5764]

Honestly I think it's really dumb that they make the climbers jump off the cliff at the end. Dislocated joints, compression fractures, even concussion if you hit the water wrong.

[@benjaminhawn]

Jordan Sullivan word, but also like it’s pretty rad, and the sport isn’t exactly injury free

[@SidyWidy]

It really isn’t that dangerous. Especially stick diving and when you’re a climber...

[@Blake-ld7mx]

Actually no i was in the Marine corp for 8 years hold good form when hitting the water and your fine no loose limbs

[@rovers141]

Don't know about you but my life would be so damn boring if I was afraid to do the things I love because of possible injuries. Think about it this way...look at the 3 football sports - association (soccer/football), gridiron (american football) and rugby. ALL 3 of those sports involve contact where if you're hit wrong dislocated joints, compression fractures and concussions are possible and very likely. Live a little.

Deep-water soloing, also known as psicobloc, is a form of solo rock climbing that relies solely upon the presence of water at the base of a climb to protect against injury from falls from the generally high-difficulty routes. Everyone stop complaining about the drop. It's literally the name of the game here.
