I failed all my science courses, I don’t understand much about science but why doesn’t the water just… move like when you jump in normally?
In: Planetary Science
Water is heavy and doesn’t compress, which means 1) it has to be moved out of the way and 2) it’s *difficult* to move it out of the way. Its resistance to being moved quickly is felt by you as a hard impact.
That said, there’s no circumstance where liquid water is anywhere near as unyielding as solid concrete. “Like hitting concrete” is a euphemism, not literally true.
