Does anyone have expert knowledge as to diving from a 3 meter platform with swimming goggles. Is there any danger to the eyes?

3m boards are about 10 feet off the water Yes that could be bad. Not that the goggles would break they all probably would not but that they would be snatched quick from the face and a portion of the seal could strike the eye. If you held your hand over your face theat would be different but I would still not advise it. US Armed Forces "rescue swimmers"..several branches have these brave people do leap from helicopters into the sea with swim masks from 15-20 feet maybe more when the helo catches wind and rises some more. ..They hold them down with the hands. Hey bright Idea I think Ill post a thread to see if any of the younger people are so insipired!
