Feet-first entry only (head-first prohibited from cliff-diving heights due to neck-injury risk); Vertical body alignment, minimal splash = highest scores
Why people argue about this
People often argue that head-first entry is safer for cliff divers because it allows them to control their descent more easily, whereas feet-first seems riskier as they're vulnerable to flipping over. However, the official reasoning behind prohibiting head-first entry is to mitigate neck injury risks during the high-speed plunge and subsequent impact on landing.
