"Hitting the water with your arms straight up above your head and your body extended into as neat a line as terror allows means you're going to lose a little skin and suffer some bruising"
Feet first or arms first? I'd hate to end up dead due to not knowing which end to point down!

I would think arms first, to prevent water entering any of your, um... orifices. But then you've got to think about head injury.

That's what I thought. I'd rather break a leg than my head.

I've really no idea. The devil & the deep blue sea I should think.

'You should be looking for water that is about twelve feet deep. If you were on a transatlantic flight it shouldn't be hard to spot some.'
Do you mean 'at least twelve feet deep'? I'd have though finding water only twelve feet deep would be problematical over the Atlantic...
'Another option is a natural hot mud pool.' I don't know if it's even vaguely interesting enough to mention, but there are records of people surviving the suicide leap from Clifton Suspension Bridge, only to drown in the mud flats at the bottom.
