Døds Diving

Døds Diving, or Death Diving, is an extreme sport originating in Norway. In this amateur sport, divers jump from high platforms in a horizontal position before tucking their bodies before impact. Unlike traditional diving, the goal is not to minimize splash or perfect form but to maintain a dramatic pose for as long as possible mid-air. The two main categories are classic and freestyle. Judging criteria include style, control, airtime, execution, and the size of the splash upon entry. Despite being risky, Death Diving has experienced athletes who have developed techniques to manage impact and prevent injury.
