If water is a attracted to water "polarity" and my body is mostly water then if i jumped from a helicopter exactly at the shoreline... would i be sucked to sea strongly enough for a deep enough/safe aquatic landing or would i be a dead "stick in the mud"?

take into account that i meant polar bearings and not polar bears

Dead stick in the mud. Sorry!

I think we need the Helicopter O'Truth to test this one out. Unfortunately you're on deck. <Paging Mythbusters>

the water part would survive.. unfortunately, the nonwater parts would break and drown you

Your body is mostly water and not fully water. So the non-water particles reduce the attraction. Now water attracted to water polarity is at the atomic and molecular. When it comes as a mass, the force of gravity is much stronger to make the atomic forces negligible. So the result is... dead stick in the mud! Sorry! :)

It depends on how shallow or deep is your shoreline.If its that shallow you would certainly die due to the impact. Since you are just close by to the shoreline, you might as well get the pilot to let you of comfortably on the beach and have a nice sun bath with a glass of beer.

The force of gravity pulling your body directly downwards is much stronger than the force of the attraction caused by the molecules polarity. So much stronger that the polarity of the water molecules would be insignificant in such a scenario. You would have a better chance of a gust of wind saving you than your attraction towards water, even if you were made of 100% water.
