20 is about my head first limit. About 6 months after my shoulder surgery, I was doing backflips from 30ft. I quit when I didn't land right, got disoriented and was swimming down instead of up.
Wife said, 1st... you shouldn't be diving in the first place, 2nd, your an idiot, 3rd, your not really all that good at diving anyway, 4th, do you see any lifeguards here? 5th, your an idiot.
So I figger.... life is about give and take, so I said "go get my a long island for each hand and pull me up a chair up next to the 10ft platform". The 10ft platform is where all the pain happened. Belly busters, and back smacks from people that really had no business jumping at all.
