Cliff-divers go a lot higher than that :)

2. That's gotta be 50+ feet
I've jumped from a cliff not far from this one that was 35 feet and I had to really force myself.

3. It might depend on the depth of the water at the bottom
JMHO

5. I think the falling part is perfectly survivable - I have mixed feelings about
the splashing part. The rock drops steeply, but the water under the jumper is suspiciously light-colored. Still, I'm sure it goes OK 999/1000, but the time it goes poorly is pretty awful...

6. Yeah, depending on how deep the water below him is.
I'm kind of skeptical about the pic though. That's pretty far out for someone to have jumped and be in that position.
