More interesting than football

The organizers of Death Diving in Norway encourage their fans that this discipline is more interesting than football. On the occasion of competitions, they use the following message: "Have you ever planned your entire day around a soccer match that ended in a goalless draw? Don't worry, now you can put it behind you and dive into the endlessly entertaining world of Death Diving.”

The fans are having a great time

People who decided to come to a Death Diving competition usually do not regret their decision. Competitors jump from a 10-meter tower and perform various stunts while flying. Hitting the water surface can also be impressive, although extremely painful. The popularity of this sport in Norway is proven not only by the fact that it is organized every year in Oslo World Cup. This is also visible in the full stands during the competition, as you can see in the video below.
