It's like a car crash

if you dive in properly Baz and break the water you can't feel it...belly flopping really twangs 
It's still an impact on your hands and wrists
Mon Tommy!

Yes , but earlier commentator said that ( even when dive is ok ) hitting the water -at 35 mph takes a huge toll on the body...
Brilliant Tom

Honestly Pam it doesn't hurt, I've done it from heights and the top board in Whitehaven swimming pool...if you dive correctly you can't feel it. Makes me shiver now thinking about it, I hate heights now and wouldn't jump in now let alone dive.

and the shoulders
Hence the strapping on a lot of them

Well, I've never somersaulted 
but have dived off high boards and it never felt it , apart from entering the water and it didn't hurt.
