The comments on the video above were a mix of admiration and skepticism.
One viewer wrote, “Pause then splash. Absolute legend move. Who else just goes for it like that?”
Another praised her technique, writing, “Amazing Form. High 5!!”
A third commenter called Cunningham “probably one of the most bad a$$ women on the planet.”
Not everyone was impressed, however.
One user argued, “A woman jumping into water from a standard use boat is built different? Than whom?”
Another added, “Let’s not over hype a lady jumping in to the water.”
The votes weren’t unanimous on this one. But it certainly earned views.
