According to Wikipedia, Death Diving, or Døds in Norwegian, is an amateur diving sport. The world championships is performed from a platform of 10 meters height. There are separate competitions for Classic and Freestyle. In the Classic event, competitors are to fly horizontally with their arms and legs extended in an X-formation until they hit the water.[1] Competitors curl into a fetal position just before entering the water, breaking the surface tension with their feet, knees and elbows to avoid serious injury; dives are judged on how long the diver holds the original pose. In Freestyle Døds, the competitors do various tricks during the air travel, hence the name.
