Crazy
Ridiculous Norwegian Death Diving Championships Is Somehow Satisfying To Watch
Dødsing, aka "Death Diving" or simply "Deathing" originated in the 1960s at the Frognerbadet public bath in Oslo, where kids would sneak into the pool complex after hours and practice spectacular stunts from the 10m (32 ft) diving tower.
50 years later, the pasttime has developed into an annual World Championship held at the same pool complex, hosted by Det Internasjonale Dødseforbundet.
It is now a organised spectator sport where brave men (and a few women) throw themselves off the tower in a death-defying manner, striking poses for as long as they can before smashing into the water below, either bent like a shrimp or curled into a ball.
