To be sucked into the vacuum cleaner

High diving, which originated from the cliffs of the Hawaiian kings and warriors to show their courage. Originally, Kyohei Arata (25), who was a high -jumping player (25) = Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, stepped into this world four years ago. He jumps into about 90 km / h from 27 meters in height, adding rotation and twisting to his body to compete for beauty. Go straight into the water so that it is sucked into a big vacuum cleaner. During this time, about 3 seconds. In response to a high jump in with a height of 10 meters, Hydiving enters water from his feet due to its danger. "Even if the water enters a little, there is a possibility that a serious injury will be injured, and if you are bad, you will die. If you are scared and your body becomes stiff, you will not be able to perform a good performance. After finishing the performance, you will be greeted by the audience and other players with clapping. "I have a feeling of" living "because it has a comfort that is not a ratio of high jumps." In the past, I lost my posture and hurt my knee ligament when I entered the water. Sometimes it has sank. I feel scared every time I stand on the dive platform, and sweat in my hand. But I can't stop because of this pleasure.

"I wanted to do something different from people"

I started diving in my fourth year in elementary school."Nobody is doing it. I thought it would be noticeable," said Arata.He was 3rd in high school in high school in his third year of high school, and in 2017, in 2017, he was in the fourth year of Nippon Sport Science University, won the Japanese championship.However, her goal, which was her goal, did not match the participation in the international tournament.She stands on the crossroads before graduation.She continues to be active and aim for the world or find a job?"Both are roads that someone walked. It's not interesting. I wanted to do something different from people."In 2016, Red Bull was hosted by Red Bull in Japan, but no Japanese players were available."No one is doing it. I wanted to change the ring and compete."
