Cliff diving puts tremendous stress on the body. Even a low jump of (20 ft) will have the body hit the water at 42 km/h (27 mph) – an impact strong enough to cause people to suffer a concussion, compress the spine or break bones. only survive the impact and the surf because they’ve trained for years. Even sometimes you'll see they will NOT make it; (OK till now) but they would because you are watching the pros doing!
