how likely is someone to survive a 130 foot drop into water?

dont know if it mattrs but im 5'7 and 150-160 lb if that makes any difference

You'd probably survive the initial impact but even if you can swim you would not last that long in the cold water before hypothermia set in.

Depends on the depth of the water but that is not very high for a water jump. 250 ft. is recommended. You will most likely end up alive and possibly severely hurt depending again on water depth. Not a good idea.

Who said anything about water temperature or did I miss something? Hypothermia takes a lot of time so the odds of being found before that's even an issue are great. Drowning after impact would be better odds but again this height is not that great.

i had to look it up but apparently the deepest part of the river around the bridge is 163 ft below sea level, so probably not ideal </3

If the current of the water is fast, you are highly likely to be found drowned. But as others said, you would probably survive the initial impact.

I think it needs to be about 200 for you to die from impact. You'll probably survive the fall, but breaking bones n stuff will make you die from drowning. as someone who has almost drowned, its a pretty bad way to go.
