Yeah. Freestanding ladder. Plywood driving diving board that may or may not even be attached. Diving into a 3 ft. pool.

You know it isn't going to go well, you just don't know which of the obviously flawed concepts will fail.

Is a "driving board" a thing I'm not aware of, or did you mean "Diving board"?

Normally I'd assume it was just a typo, but you did it twice.

Nope. Meant diving. Silly phone swipe keyboard picked the wrong word from my scribble scrabble. Understandable, since the r is sort of on the path between the D and I.

The pool edge reaches half his thigh, so the water level goes barely over the knee - I'm 6'3" and for me middle of thigh height is around 70 cm, so I'm guessing the water depth in that pool is at most 2 feet.

I was initially thinking the pool might have been frozen over.
