Yeah, it looked very painful. My grandma was a tower diver and trained kids and the adults after she retired, and always made sure people were aware of the correct technique before endangering themselves. I mean, ideally you have a trainer who helps you, figuring out the technique by yourself just by looking at it is something that not everyone can do, and trial and error is painful when water and heights are involved.

True, but I remember starting to practice backflips from the 1 m board, it’s enough to get a feeling for how much you need to turn. Of course you would then increase the height to give more room for a proper salto backwards. She looks like she only thought about how to start the turn and then she just kind of hung in the air until she collided with the water. It just doesn’t feel like she has attempted such a thing before at all.
