I am going to do a swan dive into a 4 foot pool from 20 feet!

I am working on a new law of averages, so that I can put myself on the same page as those crazy nuclear physicists. I am going to do a swan dive from a second story building into a 4 foot pool. The failure rate is calculated at .571, but that's assuming the water volume doesn't change during the dive. I believe I can safely risk my life because I'm only diving once. Now if I dive a few times, it might be a different outcome. Say a prayer!

Alright, I survived the jump so I am going to write the data collected below:

1 jump = Eating 40 bananas in a 24 hour period
3 jumps = Drinking 8 liters of San Francisco rainwater
5 jumps = 86.3684949 Round trip flights from LAX to Johannesburg, SA

Please review calculations and make any data corrections where necessary.
