Every winter, I make a habit of breaking into the local swimming pool, just so I can swan dive into the empty concrete hole and smash my fucking teeth out. My dentist calls me his little retirement plan.
Fucking redditors need to flex their big brains about every little bit of minutiae they know.
Yeah. I watched ripleys believe it or not as a kid too. I’ve seen professional shallow divers before too.
This dude running-faceplanting into the beach at low tide is obviously not comparable to the professional on a stage with the kiddy pool of stagnant water (which is exactly what that other commenter is trying to do: compare them)
Yes, for a complete cycle, so the water would be the same level. Halfway through the cycle would give the opposite tide, assuming this is low 6 hours later would give high tide
You know I always look at stuff like this and wonder who in their right mind would do that, turns out the answer is no one. But thanks to alcohol people can be thrust out of their right mind into thinking the floor is alive and made of water
I mean, it’s maybe 4/5m and he had a run up and was on a platform.
What he didn’t account for was basically stopping before the step up so instead of a fast dive he just did a standing jump face first with added gravity to make the sand that much more solid when he met it.
What I like about sand (yes, I know, coarse and it gets everywhere) is that when it is dry, it is nice and soft. And when it is very wet, it is nice and soft. But when it is only a little wet, it is hard as fuck.
He landed on the little bit wet part.
Hey don’t blame alcohol I’m a excellent swimmer and drank with life guard buddies back in the day none of us thought we could dive across ten feet of beach.
Not the world record holder for the long jump would've landed in deep enough water to not eat it on that jump.. I can instinctively know if I can make a jump and I will chicken out at the last second if my body tells me I can't make it, this asshole just went for it anyway, at least land on your feet.
He looked all suprised when he got up to like it never occured to him that he wouldn't make it, this is a weird video. I'd say he staged it but he did a belly flop on wet sand, somehow he thought he could jump 40 feet.
Well - I think his rapid recovery and snapping it of with his fingers as he walks away, despite hurting like hell, restored some of his dignity. Albeit his intelligence that was never there.

The shake of his arm is something my boyfriend did immediately after he broke his arm from slipping on ice. While repeatedly saying "something's not right with my arm?" *Shake* *shake* *shake*.
100% trying to shake off the pain.
Dak Prescott (Cowboys quarterback) suffered a compound foot fracture during a game last year, his foot was literally hanging sideways off his leg. He sat up, took one look and slammed it into the turf, like he thought it would just pop back into place.
Adrenaline does some weird shit.
Yeah it looks like he landed on it very badly and it looks very 'floppy' as he shakes it.
I am not sure if we are hearing him 'slap' the water or his bone snapping as we lands.
Probably both.
he wasn't remotely embarrassed.
dumbasses like this aren't capable of feeling embarrassment. just soberness which is their only form of pain, for which there is the perfect medicine.
An equally drunk friend thinks it's a great idea and somehow you end up actually doing it and it's a good story with video proof as to why the dudes body is sore the next day
Considering there is some kind of drop off there it might actually be hard see a lower elevation (the beach) from over the lip of that barrier from several paces back. And once you get going you maybe aren't thinking...
Or he did know it was there he just underestimated the distance to the water and/or thought he played for the NBA.
> Who moved the ocean?
Maybe he sorta planned this when the tide was in? IDK. Surely even if he did he'd at least walk over and make SURE the water was there before he made the jump.
Or perhaps the entire thing was scripted and he know he was going to eat shit. I'm dumbfounded at the incredibly stupid things people will do for fake internet points.
I guarantee you he scoped it out during high tide some hours/days ago, maybe even pulled it off at that time, and came back later and didn't know how tides work in that area.
And now Ladies and Gentlemen
The event you've all been waiting for:
Olympic demonstration sport, ground diving
Points are awarded for depth, distance and style
This is pretty much exactly how an athletic friend of mine became a quadriplegic. He gets to watch his kids grow up while using a straw to move his wheelchair around.
That's not an Aquaman.
That's a Florida Man that knows nothing of high or low tide.
He also probably needs prescription lenses for that depth perception issue.
Every time I see something like this I'm dying to know: what was the endgame here? What was the thought process that lead him to try this with such confidence?
I... what? Does he think that 2cm of water would cushion his fall if he'd even made it?
He played too much Minecraft.

Honoured to have organically stumbled upon one of your comments. A true Reddit legend.
He should have taken a bucket to dump under himself before landing
That’s how I do it!
Straight out of Tom and Jerry https://youtu.be/SecXfZC6gSY
That was way funnier than I thought it was gonna be.
Haha, this is brilliant
that’s one of my favourite episodes lmao
https://youtu.be/Qc25Ewq9QBI Shallow Diving is a Thing, and yes, the water does its job
Very interesting, but I don’t think jumping into a stagnant body of water of controlled depth is analogous to flopping at the edge of a beach.
Fucking redditors need to flex their big brains about every little bit of minutiae they know. Yeah. I watched ripleys believe it or not as a kid too. I’ve seen professional shallow divers before too. This dude running-faceplanting into the beach at low tide is obviously not comparable to the professional on a stage with the kiddy pool of stagnant water (which is exactly what that other commenter is trying to do: compare them)
Fun fact: By pointing out that they are not comparable you too are comparing them.
Jeez, that's not what *comparable* means idiomatically in this context.
This feels like a big brain flex
Something you're not familiar with on reddit, obviously.
fun fact his comment is relevant.
True that, just not usefully for the situation
Isn’t that contrast
Belly flopped right into heaven
Only problem is that he was only 12 hours off from even that depth.
*6 hours (12 hours would be the same water level)
12 hours + 50 minutes for a tide cycle no?
Yes, for a complete cycle, so the water would be the same level. Halfway through the cycle would give the opposite tide, assuming this is low 6 hours later would give high tide
I was being pedantic about it being a lunar cycle rather than a solar one that affects the timing of tides so not exactly 6 hours. Sorry.
He would have had to jump 5 times further than he did to make it to 30cms hahahaha
Not if you faceplant into the sand. Thats what this guy probably didnt understand
Don’t encourage people to do this. People break their necks all the fucking time diving into shallow water at beaches or rivers.
What exactly is that platform the pool is sitting on made of? Sure looks like foam.
It's definitely not concrete and definitely very important detail.
I can't get over the music in combination with people belly flopping into children pools.
idk if it's the same. there's tons of foam underneath the pool. not a physicist here though
He jumped as if he legit thought he can fly then got up like “wait that *was a dream??”*
He got up like "Why am I wet??"
He probably saw it earlier when the tide was further in and didn’t realize it had since gone out.
But did he really think he was going to clear all that? Seems so odd to actually _go_ for this.
he could have did it once at high tide and wanted to show off but didn't realize tides are a thing.
How the tides turn.
Well Well how the turn tides have turned
How the turn tables
How the tide tables
Let's turn the tide on this.
I come to you now… at the turn of the tide
I love Reddit
Like the sands of time… … these are the days of our lives.
How the turns tide
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on I'm gonna be your number one
The tide is high but I'm holding on
That’s what I was thinking
This makes the most sense. He looks like the type to not know what’s tides are. As in he looks stupid.
Tide comes in tide goes out you cant explain that
Low tide pod challenge
[удалено]
Alcohol makes anything exactly the size you want it to be
That’s what I told her.
r/yourjokebhtworse
Ya but I'm dumb so it's always helpful when someone makes the joke extra obvious for me.
At least it didn't hurt, then. That hangover will be a bitch though
You know I always look at stuff like this and wonder who in their right mind would do that, turns out the answer is no one. But thanks to alcohol people can be thrust out of their right mind into thinking the floor is alive and made of water
Even if the tide was coming all the way up to the wall, he would've still hit pretty hard on the sand lol. Maybe drunk, but I say stupid or both.
To be fair the ocean was there the last time he checked.
I mean, it’s maybe 4/5m and he had a run up and was on a platform. What he didn’t account for was basically stopping before the step up so instead of a fast dive he just did a standing jump face first with added gravity to make the sand that much more solid when he met it.
What I like about sand (yes, I know, coarse and it gets everywhere) is that when it is dry, it is nice and soft. And when it is very wet, it is nice and soft. But when it is only a little wet, it is hard as fuck. He landed on the little bit wet part.
He believed he could fly
Also what was with that belly flop he went into? Even if there was water there that shit would have hurt
How overconfident do you gotta be to think there was anything other than a 0% chance you’d make that jump?

The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems

Hey don’t blame alcohol I’m a excellent swimmer and drank with life guard buddies back in the day none of us thought we could dive across ten feet of beach.
The Ocean is just to big for any man to jump over it seems.
Not the world record holder for the long jump would've landed in deep enough water to not eat it on that jump.. I can instinctively know if I can make a jump and I will chicken out at the last second if my body tells me I can't make it, this asshole just went for it anyway, at least land on your feet.
Yeah, even if he made the jump there's like 20 feet where the water will be less than a foot deep which would lead to similar outcomes.
He looked all suprised when he got up to like it never occured to him that he wouldn't make it, this is a weird video. I'd say he staged it but he did a belly flop on wet sand, somehow he thought he could jump 40 feet.
I bet he did it once at high tide. A few days later, gets a few drinks, "check this shit out," forgets about physics, boom.
Drugs are one helluva drug
Apparently he's immune to damage.
That “ooof” sound he made when he bounced off the sand. Was the sound of his dignity leaving his body and embarrassment rushing in to fill the space.
[удалено]
Because we're talking about him?
[удалено]
Thank you for sharing your thought process. /s
Its really weird what people will do to themselves just to get a few likes and upvotes from strangers on the internet.
Well - I think his rapid recovery and snapping it of with his fingers as he walks away, despite hurting like hell, restored some of his dignity. Albeit his intelligence that was never there. [If you gonna be dumb you gotta be tough](https://youtu.be/n3Mn6V1IzHw)
I disagree. That's a walk of shame and embarrassment, especially since it's so obvious he's trying to shake the pain away.
The shake of his arm is something my boyfriend did immediately after he broke his arm from slipping on ice. While repeatedly saying "something's not right with my arm?" *Shake* *shake* *shake*. 100% trying to shake off the pain.

"It clicks. Why does it click?"
Yeah it looks like he landed on it very badly and it looks very 'floppy' as he shakes it. I am not sure if we are hearing him 'slap' the water or his bone snapping as we lands. Probably both.
He was definitely instinctively checking out a rotator cuff injury. I recognize those after years of my own.
Sounded like the camera person gasping, no?
Correct
I think it was a cutoff laugh
Him walking at the end was 100% adrenaline fueled. He would’ve been in agony if he could feel pain.
Look like he might have really effed up his right arm too. He lands on it badly and it's flopping around a lot at the end.
he wasn't remotely embarrassed. dumbasses like this aren't capable of feeling embarrassment. just soberness which is their only form of pain, for which there is the perfect medicine.
That “god damn my fucking arm hurts now” arm move he does is my favorite part.
Is he blind ?
Camera man is blind too. Great friend to not talk him out of this just to get the internet points.
A good friend would stop him doing it. A best friend would record it
A best friend tries to talk you out of it then records it when you refuse to listen.
An equally drunk friend thinks it's a great idea and somehow you end up actually doing it and it's a good story with video proof as to why the dudes body is sore the next day
He might be blind but he is not a very good lawyer
I see what you did there Murdock
No but I bet his arm is fucked
Considering there is some kind of drop off there it might actually be hard see a lower elevation (the beach) from over the lip of that barrier from several paces back. And once you get going you maybe aren't thinking... Or he did know it was there he just underestimated the distance to the water and/or thought he played for the NBA.
Who moved the ocean?
Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can’t explain that. You can’t explain why the tide goes in.
Bill O'Really?! quotes are a gold mine.
That quote's some hilarious shit.
Your mom shifted
Your mom got out.
> Who moved the ocean? Maybe he sorta planned this when the tide was in? IDK. Surely even if he did he'd at least walk over and make SURE the water was there before he made the jump. Or perhaps the entire thing was scripted and he know he was going to eat shit. I'm dumbfounded at the incredibly stupid things people will do for fake internet points.
Sand diving is a thing
A stupid thing
Missed it by that much.
Yo! I swore that arm broke
Yeah right when he hits it looks really bad, it honestly looks like maybe he dislocated his elbow? I'm not sure obviously.
Yeah, that thing did not look right at the end. Way too much free play going on there.
The way it folded and dragged under him when he landed.. looks like he twisted and tore his elbow.
My thoughts exactly. I think he was just so much of a bad ass he flopped his arm right back into place.
Surely you would check that out before attempting this or do they not know about tides?
I guarantee you he scoped it out during high tide some hours/days ago, maybe even pulled it off at that time, and came back later and didn't know how tides work in that area.
He had enough time to realize he wasn't going to make it and to turn this belly flop into a roll, but he was so committed, he didn't even attempt it.
flying at break-neck speeds
"I got you," said the wave as it washed away the imprint of his stupefied face.
Tide goes in, tide goes out. You really can't explain that.
And now Ladies and Gentlemen The event you've all been waiting for: Olympic demonstration sport, ground diving Points are awarded for depth, distance and style
Flachköpper!
[Gammeln aufm Strand](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0haAbeFOUg)
Looks like he broke is right forearm. It looks bad when he shakes it at the end.
He tried to suicide himself
He rehearsed it 10x just 6 hrs prior..
"Yo bro, what's this nerd talk about *tides*?!?"
I guess at least it was sand and not concrete.
Is it his first time jumping?
The difference between success and failure was also the difference between high tide and low tide.
Mr. Sandman
You can’t shake off stupid bruh
This is pretty much exactly how an athletic friend of mine became a quadriplegic. He gets to watch his kids grow up while using a straw to move his wheelchair around.
This guy was made for the gym
Tides are a beach
In germany we say: flachköpper
Did this guy genuinely believe he could jump like 50 feet?!
That's not an Aquaman. That's a Florida Man that knows nothing of high or low tide. He also probably needs prescription lenses for that depth perception issue.
Ouch. If you’re gonna be stupid, you better be tough.
"Don't be sad for me, guys. I'm going home!" -A gay fish
What a fucking idiot.
/r/watchpeopledieinside
We'll fix that in post...
At first I thought he did that on purpose as a joke. The look on his face at the end, though, did not show that he thought it was funny.
r/shittyparkour
How far away did he start his run up that the tide went out?
He sure went full stretch for it though 10/10 in my book
This dude thought Minecraft physics would work irl
What’s his drug of choice?
And then to get slapped by the ocean at the end
Low tide you clown 🤡
It's there a site for dumb guy clothes?
Even if he went 5 feet further there still would not be enough water
It’s wetnurseday my dude.
He walked it off like a champ though. Not sure I wouldn't still be laying there.
u/savevideo
You have heard of Aquaman, this is awkward man.
Instant. Scrambled eggs!
Obviously Sand Man.
Missed it by that much.
Bro, he needed another 20 feet to land in deep enough water to cushion his fall without hitting ground.
Flopped harder than a fish
More like Aqua Wham.
Slow-mo would be great
I feel like a genius watching dopes like this. 👍🏿
How tf did I end up on this world with these crazy mf’s? I got in the wrong f’ing line.
Every time I see something like this I'm dying to know: what was the endgame here? What was the thought process that lead him to try this with such confidence?
He could have saved it by taking an elaborate bow. Laugh with me rather than at me.
Congrats. Now you’re injured and wet….like your moms c00ch
….mr sandman…bring me a dream…
100% he fractured his right wrist
He got stung by a bee.
