High diver shows how much scarier it is to climb down than jumping

If you have ever wondered whether jumping from a 20 meter height into a pool of water is more scary than walking down to the ground floor then wonder no more.

High diver, Molly Carlson, took her followers on a scary descent from the top of the platform.

You can watch it here, unless you are afraid of heights then perhaps skip:

The 24-year-old high diver took to TikTok to answer her audience's burning questions about which is 'scarier'.

As a member of Canada's senior national high diving team, Carlson is definitely someone I'd trust with providing me this information.

And she certainly did.

Yesterday (24 March), she showed what it looks like to walk back down to the ground through a series of makeshift ladders and tight-rope contraptions at 20 meters.

Carlson started the video from atop the 20 meter platform in a Montreal swimming pool and gave us all a good look at the pool far below.

She says: "You guys always say is jumping scarier than walking down and I just wanted to show you the walk down because jumping is very fun, can be scary sometimes, but today we're gonna walk down together and you can tell me if it's scarier."

After walking to the back of the platform, she proceeds to climb down a metal ladder, narrowly missing a step, before reaching what can only be described as a plank-like tunnel which travels across two separate pools.

And it certainly gives you goosebumps.

But, even professional divers can get a little scared, as Carlson jokes numerous times that she's 'not having fun' and that 'jumping is way easier'.

And in all honesty, from the look of the distance, I can't say that I blame her either.

Once on the long journey to safety, Carlson holds on to a harness handle at the side of the rail to keep her secure and steady along the narrow walkway.

After what feels like a dizzying eternity, finally, she is able to climb down the final ladder to the pool floor.

And many viewers were pretty shook by the video, with some agreeing that walking seemed 'way worse' and some saying they wouldn't want to 'get up there in the first place'.

So, now that we've all had the pleasure of bearing witness to climbing down from a great height, do you think you'd give it a go?

For now, I'll keep my feet firmly planted on land, thank you very much.
