Florida high school swim and dive teams decades ago used to have a high diving event (Plunge for Distance) to see who could dive the highest from a tower into a swimming pool.  Don't know exactly why they discontinued the event, but I'd bet it was around the time "Johnny" on one of the teams said he was going for a record height that would never be beaten!  The FHSAA record books still have the records of the discontinued event that looks like ended around 1928:

Plunge for Distance

1920 Musson, Seminole (Sanford), 42’0â€

1921 NO RECORDS

1922 Harris, Hillsborough (Tampa), 59’0â€

1923 Harris, Hillsborough (Tampa), 59’0â€

1924 Sutton, St. Petersburg, 67’6â€

1925 Woods, Hillsborough (Tampa), 68’0â€

1926 K. Thomas, Winter Park, 67’0â€

1927 K. Thomas, Winter Park, 70’0â€

1928 McCalum, Hillsborough (Tampa), 64’0â€

Maybe you can. Some guy in California apparently sued RedBull and got the project suspended. Steve, are you any part of this?

Red Bull Stratos put on hold

by Red Bull GmbH/Red Bull North America on Oct 18' date=' 2010

Red Bull GmbH and Red Bull North America Inc have decided to stop the Red Bull Stratos programme with immediate effect.

Felix Baumgartner had been scheduled to undertake a stratospheric balloon flight to 120,000ft (36.5km) and attempt a freefall jump that would, for the first time, reach supersonic speeds, as well as deliver valuable scientific data.

Despite the fact that many other people over the past 50 years have tried to break Colonel (Ret) Joe Kittinger's altitude record, and that other individuals have sought to work with Red Bull in an attempt to break his record, Daniel Hogan claims to own certain rights to the project and filed a multi-million-dollar lawsuit earlier this year in a Californian court.

Red Bull has acted appropriately in its prior dealings with Mr Hogan, and will demonstrate this as the case progresses. Due to the lawsuit, we have decided to stop the project until this case has been resolved.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
