big ups to those older women. tougher than most men my age.

[@anthonybutterley1366]

I would watch a sitcom with linus and Frida.

[@bonmotze]

Frieda is my hero! She didn't even hesitate for one second after Linus jumped. Brave woman!

[@WarthogARJ]

She was willing and able to jump, but didn't want to make him feel bad. Very supportive.

[@CriticalPosthumanism]

Much respect for that older woman

[@yeusi9716]

Omg i was sooo proud of her And of all who jumped, i was always so hyped with them ❣

[@djbabidadi2545]

She almost made me cry when she stopped on the ladder.

[@sfmc98]

@@djbabidadi2545 It hit me really hard and I did cry. I still am weeping. It's hard to explain but something about her doubting herself so much, considering her life on those stairs and coming back to do it. Knowing how she would feel if she let herself climb off that ladder was so much worse than how she would feel if she summoned the courage. It was beautiful.

This short film kept me captivated the entire time. Loved it!

[@micke67d]

Extraordinarily fascinating film! Seen it many times. The struggle between fear of jumping and fear of defeat, for most ending in the sweet, real self confidence you get when being courageous and overcoming fear. Much respect to all, but the lady starting at 7:18 or so is my idol and hero! Well done!

[@BrokkoliSchleuder]

Not sure if it's really fear of defeat. You just know that you'd think about it constantly and it would keep you up at night.

[@micke67d]

@@BrokkoliSchleuder Exactly: fear of defeat :)

[@BrokkoliSchleuder]

@@micke67d No, not necessarily. There's a lot of things that can keep you up at night because you have to think about them without any fear or fear of defeat whatsoever. "France or Italy for vacation? What should I wish for for christmas? Was it smart to buy that thing? Should I have jumped down the ten meter tower?"

[@micke67d]

@@BrokkoliSchleuder Nah. The others you mention are not challenges you failed at. For me the movie is all about conquering fears and meeting a challenge or being defeated.

lFriend of mine broke several bones on a first time 10m dive. He was strong and young but had an unknown thyroid issue that was draining his bones of calcium. Without this horrific experience, it could have gone untreated and eventually killed him. He had one of the glands removed and he's fine.

[@livekillerplays3529]

Damn bro...tf.

[@100gecsrbetterthangod5]

Well my friend, you cannot leave us hanging! Did he ever attempt the 10m dive/jump again? If not, is it due to possible medical issues again or perhaps he was soured on the experience?

[@TracyCarolan]

That would be his parathyroid.

[@sunburnfm]

e@@TracyCarolan Yep! That was it!

[@sunburnfm]

@@100gecsrbetterthangod5It was a parathyroid problem. He had one of them removed. He still needs to take calcium pills and has no plans to do anything active until he's healthy. I suspect he may not chance it again after what he went through.

[@manuelbernet5796]

This is my favorite film of all times. Ever. EVER.

[@AnotherSwissYoutubeUser]

Ich bin damals vom 10 Meter Brett gesprungen ohne nachzudenken. Ich habe immer gedacht: ,,Jeh schneller desto wahrscheinlicher das man es macht.’’ Für die Leute welche sich nicht trauen: Denkt an diesen Satz und tut es einfach. Die erleichterung und der Stolz / das Selbstvertrauen ist danach level over 9000.

When i was young (14years old) i am so stress and sad when my father die ..and i jump from the 11 meter high bridge on the river ..because some of adult do that .. and my dad also told he do that for fun.after successfully jump into the water.i cry in the water.it feel that we could fight our fear if we know the risk is something we can face.

[@83joonior]

That was entertaining. Was interesting to see how some people will still have a foot trying to keep contact with the diving board when they're already in the air; also, tough looking people were more scared than those I thought would chicken out.

[@brianthomaston]

There is a reason for flash and bravado in the male of the species, it often turns away would-be attackers.

[@sirklumpatsch9591]

Am meisten mag ich die Frau bei 8:24. Quasi schon am Runterklettern und wollte das dann doch nicht auf sich sitzen lassen. Ich will auch mal auf den Zehner, aber am liebsten in einem abgesperrten Schwimmbad, wo mir niemand zugucken kann oder von meinem bestimmt mindestens zehnminütigen Monolog gestört wird^^

[@blazkify]

Honestly if Im already up there, I will also choose to jump, just because I dont trust my legs to go through those stairs after scared shitless seeing the ground level

[@toochaotic7752]

My knee arthritis would make it that, if I managed to get up the stairs, there is no way I could get down. So I would have to jump as well.

[@price-singspuccini6124]

Going to do a zip line tour in Petty Harbour Newfoundland soon. 10 zip lines in 2 1/2 hours. This is helpful watching others get over their fear and reservations as zip lining is a little bit out of my comfort zone!

[@TyGuy222]

That was awesome. I really enjoyed watching that. Great video. Watching it while the Olympic 10m platform diving is on. :) I am a 10m platform jumper alumni. Awesome experience. Fear is a real thing. It is so interesting watching people go through something like this.

[@cintra6684]

I mean... I'm already up there and because of my sweaty hands I'd probably slip and fall going down... so jump it is.

You'll find it's a balancing rotation thing. When you jump from height you don't always stay feet down and your arms are used to try get the body from not rotating to a bad angle. Speaking from experience rock jumping

[@Florian-Khris]

[@Kaysler]

Great film

[@ConnyWeirdWorld]

Well done :D I did 7,5 metres. There was no 10 m board in our swimming pools. Then, finally, one of them had a 10 m board but it wasn't open when I was there so I had to take the 7,5 metres. The funny thing is, I only did the 7,5 m to encourage my niece to jump off the 3 m board, but in the end I was the only one who jumped. So I'm pretty sure I'd jump off 10 m as well, but simply with my feet first. However, I do love watching real divers such as Tom Daley. It looks amazing! =) But I better stick with swimming ;-)

[@100gecsrbetterthangod5]

I would like to think that I could convince myself to jump but I feel as if I most likely would not follow through. At the end of the day, it's a victory but a very small and wholly personal victory. Was the "risk" worth the fall? Is the accomplishment worth the struggle? If you die here, is this a death you are okay with? That's how I would end up talking myself out of it. When I am on roller coasters I endlessly think around every turn: "this thing is going to fail and I am going to die." So I have to fight myself between thinking of that and saying "oh well, we're already here. Nothing we can do but try to enjoy it." It's interesting just how powerful watching the struggle of fear actually is.

[@callum_boss]

As a kid, over a few years, I was shit scared at a theme park of what was realistically a pretty tame ride, until when watching other people go on I came to the conclusion that the difference in getting on and not getting on wasn't the fear that was stopping me, the difference was simply that of a few steps and then them sitting down on the ride. I've got no doubt my heart would be going a thousand miles an hour as I climbed those steps. The bottoms of my feet would be tingling and uncomfortable, and my palms would be sweating and clammy. Nor do I doubt that I would take a few steps and jump off.

Tbh, all i would need is a life jacket. Not because i can't swim or anything, just that a long time ago i jumped off of the high dive at school and tried to do a triple front tuck. Got about 2.5 flips in before i tried to lay out and dive. Problem was i misjudged how close i was to the water. Slapped my family jewels and belly flopped at the same time. All the oxygen escaped me due to screaming out in pain. I'll need a life jacket just incase because I'm going for four front the tucks.

[@faye1949]

In the city I grew up in there was an indoor pool with public hours. It had a diving tower with boards at 5, 7.5 and 10 meters. The 10 meter was always closed. As children we would jump off the 5 and 7.5. It's scary the first time like anything else. There's really nothing to it. After your first jump you go back up and do a running long jump this time cause you realize you were over reacting. Just like the people in this video.

[@livysoter1764]
