Why Are Belly Flops So Painful

The video explains why belly flops hurt more than proper dives, attributing it to physics and Newton's laws of motion. It describes how the force exerted on the water during a belly flop is much greater than during a swan dive, due to the larger mass of water displaced. This results in a painful impact on the body, as the water exerts an equal force back. The video emphasizes the role of height and mass in determining the force experienced during a dive.
