Err...well your height estimate is off by just a few kilometres there mate. Search for Surfline Greatest Wipeouts and the guys who live through this will tell ya all about it

Not all of that weight is coming down on the surfer's head. Shit like "they way as much as 15 Empire State buildings" etc. is just mathematical bollocks. Maybe if you took the WHOLE wave, yeah!! Also, that 5 feet of water provides a pretty major cushion and, in the majority of cases here, the surfer is going over the falls, meaning that there's even more water between him and the reef. Having said all that, I wouldn't fancy it and these guys can hold their breath for a while!!
