Døds Diving

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.

Despite being risky, Death Diving has experienced athletes who have developed techniques to manage impact and prevent injury.

In December 2023, Norwegian extreme sports athlete Ken Stornes set a world record by executing a Døds dive from a 40.5-meter-high cliff into Lake Oppstrynsvatnet in Norway.

At the Døds World Championship 2024, Pacome Pegaz from Spain won the men's title and became the first ever non-Norwegian diver to win confirming the sports increasing international growth.
