I used to swim in Winter when was icy and snowy (it's a popular Winter activity in many Baltic countries), but darn... a ‘death dive’ from over 40 meters, jumping from a rock wall into the icy water below - it takes some guts to do that...
Death diving or ‘Dødsing‘ is a form of extreme freestyle high diving with stretched arms and belly first )doesn't that hurt like hell??). The bravest of death divers plunge from much higher, with the current record in the men’s classic category sitting at 40.5 meters.
It was set earlier this month by Ken Stornes, a Norwegian former MMA fighter turned extreme athlete, who plunged into the icy waters of Nordfjord from a platform on the side of a tall cliff.
Classic death diving requires daredevils to dive with their arms and legs extended horizontally for as long as possible, before curling up into a pike position just before they hit the water.

They straighten their arms and legs into a classic dive entry right before hitting the water - if they didn't, they'd likely be severely hurt. They begin the dive with outstretched arms and legs to slow down their rate of descent.
That's a competition I will never be a part of. Thank God for warm water, especially at shower time.
