Diving from a 20-metre-high board looks as terrifying as you’d imagine

If you’re the type of person that doesn’t like the idea of jumping from the top board at the swimming pool, you might want to give the video above a skip.

YouTuber Tom Scott — who is no stranger to heights — visits the Montreal Olympic Sports Centre in the clip, following acrobat and high diver Lysanne Richard up to the pool’s custom-built 20 metre board before filming her plunging off of it.

Brace yourself.
