Currently, somebody can jump 50 odd feet into 6 feet of water (enough so you will swim rather than wade in it) and will just fall onto the surface of the water. My idea is that would it be possible to manipulate the characteristics of the water to allow the person to sink beneath it and float back up to the surface but incur only nominal damage providing they don't strike the bottom.
Before anybody starts clawing at their keyboard screaming like a madman "ZOMG t3h h4rdc0d3d111" I'm pretty sure most people have had an experience where when jumping into the water you will drop down below the surface and come back up however this is very rare for the most part and even if you do, you don't sink more than 2 feet. My thoughts are that there must be some variable that can be manipulated (gravity?) to simulate somebody with a full combat load jumping out of a helicopter, falling 10 feet, and plunging a good distance down before resurfacing. The realistic element to this would be in making people more careful of the depth of water they are jumping into so they don't kill themselves on the bottom.
And I suppose you could promote the use of blackhawks with pseudo fastropes where they hover over a body of water and bail out and safely swim to shore.
I know, I know, very minor change but if I'm correct in my assumption wouldn't take much effort to do.
