1) R. -

I believe I've jumped from this spot once before. I probably took a whole 20 mins for me to jump (after a couple of kids and a girl I was hanging out with had already jumped several times). It felt like an eternity and it hurt. A lot.

2) TravelGuy -

@rubino At least you made the leap (finally). I went up a few times with the intention to jump but the coward in me ultimately won out, particularly after I saw the injuries on some of the youngsters that jumped at medium-tide.
