Since the question gives "off a ship" as a specification, an assumption is that the jump was made into the water. Even water is "hard" after a 110 foot drop. The jumpers who survived the impact (and they would be the minority) would suffer serious injuries. Broken bones and compression fractures, and even a ruptured spleen or other internal damage would be seen in any examination of the jumper post impact. A number of the injured could die of their injuries. The drop is a "ball park" 10 stories. Even if you don't land face first in the water, your challenges are just beginning.

Why the actual depths of the swimming pool should be examined before jumping into it?

The depth of water in a swimming pool should always be examined before jumping into it because you can cause injury to yourself (and in some cases, others) if the water is too shallow. For a person of average size, 9-12 feet is suitable for jumping into, as there is plenty of room to submerge and surface safely. Anything too shallow- about 6 feet and under- could cause injury to the jumper- generally impact injuries that could break bones or crack skulls, depending on how you jump in and how deep or shallow the water is. Also, always make sure there is no one too close or beneath you before diving, for you could cause serious injury to yourself and them.


Can my child injury his feet running barefoot?

I agree that there could be a risk of injury especially with bare feet. I believe the most likely incident would be to step on something such as broken glass or a rusty nail. This can cause extreme pain and in the case of a rusty nail you would also have to have a tetanus shot.

Why go head first in bungee jumping?

When bungee jumping, people go head first because the bungee cord is attached to their feet, and if they reamined in an upright position until they reached the end of the cord, it would flip them upside down with a very large amount of force. This would create a painful whiplash and greatly increase the risk of injury to the jumper, especially in to their spine.
