RE: ❓Steemit Quiz 2025 - Weeks 15/16
The dive looks spectacular! However, the zero score most likely results from performing a prohibited “flying” dive, including a full somersault. That’s dangerous and therefore cannot be scored.
Almost spectacular... It's a failed dive. The flying dive with a somersault aren’t actually prohibited. There’s one particular detail that makes this dive a definite no-go under Red Bull rules.
The clue for the prohibited move is in the question itself.
Hm. I found out that 27 metres is quite a common height for Red Bull events (platform heights vary between 26.5 and 28 metres depending on the venue).
Unfortunately, I don't have any more ideas (not in relation to the question itself). And I also don't feel like watching the video over and over again... 😂
Speaking of Catholics: the Pope died today. I have to admit that I am deeply touched by this.
Yes, and the clue was in relation to the prohibited move. Anyway, I gave a hint. Watching the video once was actually enough though 😆
I kind of expected it, he was already sick and his health was failing... but honestly, I don't feel anything.
He did not jump in a „diving position“ but put his feet first. So he should have gone into the water with the feet?
✅ I'll accept that answer. You sort of nailed the idea.
The zero score in the 27-meter dive was due to a head-first landing, which is strictly prohibited in men's high diving (27m) under Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, due to safety regulations.
So, yes. He should've gone into the water with the feet. Thankfully, the diver wasn't hurt but he was out of the competition. This event happened only recently though in El Nido, Palawan 😎
Very good question!
If you don't know anything about cliff diving, it's almost impossible to solve without clues.
What if we had a cliff diving expert among us?
Oh, I shouldn't make the fun too complicated - it was fun, excellent question, thanks!
At least we learned something about cliff diving 🙂That was my goal.
Okay, goal achieved... Wow, even at the advanced age of +45 you can still learn something... 😂
