Just jump!  Cliff diving began around 1750 in the Hawaiian Islands. Legend has it that the King of Maui – Kahekili II, forced his warriors to leap feet first from a cliff and land in the water below.  In modern-day world championships, diving heights range from around 20 meters (66 feet) to 25 meters (82 feet).  Dive from 25 meters, and you will hit the surface at about 100 kph (62 mph) and experience two to three Gs as you decelerate.  If your split the surface slightly off-vertical?  Painful.

FICOR Score

(Fatality & Injury Classification of Risk)

Discipline : 20 meters (66 feet)
Discipline : 10 meters (33 feet)
Discipline : 15 meters (49 feet)
Discipline : 25 meters (82 feet)

FICOR score is based on XDGE's proprietary scoring system

Minimum score to be considered for XDGE is 50, and the maximum is 100. This FICOR score is based on available data combined with XDGE's proprietary scoring system which weights several factors based on importance, including: insurance risk scores for the particular activity being evaluated, reaction time available as an adverse event unfolds, speed, height, depth, technical difficulty, ability to mitigate risk during activity, availability of backup equipment, involvment of other participants, location of activity, mental focus required, outcome resulting of most mishaps such as death or hospitalization, and a determination of the likelihood of having a major accident if that sport is done frequently.
