Holy shit. So I assume they're dead if they fall?

That's what I wanna know

Seems like you would just get totally crushed.

Even if they survive, how long are they ragdolled under water?

Do they wear leash? I wouldn't want to be attached to my board being tumbled under a wave like that. I got dumped surfing on a wave 1/millionth as small once and the board cracked me on the head underwater, I came up half conscious and bleeding. And the wave was nothing, really

Does anyone know the risk/death count in this sport?

so nuts

yes you can die from any of these waves
these guys are all expert watermen to even be out there
U can survive as long as you can stay composed as you get rag dolled about and off reefs
they wear a releasable leash...has a quick release...Lotta boards breaking in this competition
Guys die on big waves no doubt...maybe 1 every 2 years, I'm talking about well known guys
Crazy and skilled guys doing crazy stuff..amazing

I forgot who said it, maybe Jamie o'brien, but teahupoo breaths backwards before it spits, so it actually sucks you back on larger waves taking your speed before blowing forward.

Isn't it the only wave in the world that breaks under sea level? When I watched laird hamilton's white knuckle extreme featuring this wave I just about lost my shit. So many waves have death written on them and this has to take the cake, hands down.
