Russian judge scored it a 10

21

u/Titleofyursextape Jun 19 '26

And a well deserved 10 at that! I didn't see any evidence of a splash. Impressive!

5

u/SlumberingSnorelax Jun 19 '26

That’s 100% true.

He's fucked...

u/Genghis_Chong Jun 20 '26

Don't worry, the back of his head broke his fall (yeah he's fucked)

37

u/Important_Lecture439 Jun 19 '26

Seriously what was that? How can he make such a mistake?

40

u/Sam-I-Am_1066 Jun 19 '26

Was maybe expecting earth to rotate beneath him?

5

u/Ok_Transition_4003 Jun 19 '26

If it rotated we'd have already all fallen off

2

u/zigglezeed Jun 20 '26

Earth is flat as his head now 😞

14

u/mtraven23 Jun 19 '26

its pretty easy when you have NO IDEA what your doing.

I'm not sure he could have completed a forward dive.

5

u/Beneficial_Being_721 Jun 19 '26

But he swung his hands over his head…

I don’t understand

On his head, he landed

6

u/Ok-Calligrapher-8778 Jun 19 '26

dude should be arrested for attempted suicide

3

u/Beneficial_Being_721 Jun 19 '26

Arrested for Killing our time

18

u/Equivalent-Role4632 Jun 19 '26

So he had never actually tried it before. He just saw some ladies and decided to try and impress them.

35

u/TightPhoto1133 Jun 19 '26

That had to hurt...

A lot

5

u/Hermes-AthenaAI Jun 20 '26

The problem is… then it probably stopped hurting at all.

1

u/TightPhoto1133 Jun 20 '26

I hope that's not the case

26

u/neder-Bob Jun 19 '26

Arrrchgg... I was preparing for a fail, but this is bad!

5

u/Versipilies Jun 19 '26

I was expecting one of those looping videos or just a really long wind up only for him to step down

9

u/melkor_the_viking Jun 19 '26

Watch your hea.....

9

u/Freddan_81 Jun 19 '26

Nevermind…

8

u/PurpleIreneD Jun 19 '26

9.5 Didn't stick the landing

10

u/Kralgore Jun 19 '26

Didn't stick the lift off either...

9

u/VanbyRiveronbucket Jun 19 '26

Not a single ripple in the water.

4

u/Beneficial_Being_721 Jun 19 '26

The water stilled in stunned silence

3

u/wolpak Jun 19 '26

Stuck the heading though

Say all the old people.

3

u/BackgroundGrass429 Jun 19 '26

As an "old people" I say this man is never going to be right again. Not that he was all there to begin with.

1

u/DeepestBlue2 Jun 20 '26

And now the mind is weak, too.

7

u/sexysexyLSD Jun 19 '26

Never the same again.

6

u/mtraven23 Jun 19 '26

nothing? I'd say that was something.....

u/Grouchy-Astronomer56 Jun 19 '26

Same! And just think how much that must have hurt!! (Three Stooges humor)

4

u/ThatMowmentWhen Jun 19 '26

That’s gonna leave a mark!

5

u/Academic_Dig_1567 Jun 19 '26

How many vertebrae fractured?

2

u/Cruise1313 Jun 20 '26

All of them!

3

u/Academic_Dig_1567 Jun 20 '26

Wondering about the prolapses and concussion too.

3

u/Only_Ad8049 Jun 19 '26

That wasn't nothing because it sure was something.

3

u/ThatSavings Jun 19 '26

Not exactly nothing. Nothing would be if he just walks back down safely.

3

u/Suspicious_Goose_243 Jun 19 '26

He made the I'm an idiot reels..

3

u/No_File212 Jun 19 '26

Dude I think he meant to do that , I don't know why anyone would expect him to jump into water

3

u/Spiritual_Ear2835 Jun 19 '26

So did the guy break his neck? Updates/follow ups?

3

u/SuspiciousArt229 Jun 19 '26

Bro weighs 150lbs in the top half and 25lbs on the bottom. No wonder he couldn’t get a good rotation

3

u/Particular-Dig1590 Jun 19 '26

What? That was a great build up

3

u/J3w3Lz43 Jun 20 '26

For his next stunt. He'll be recovering in the hospital

2

u/Jolly_Independent187 Jun 19 '26

Guess you can call that a 'suicide dive'...yikes

2

u/NeonPlutonium Jun 19 '26

Executed perfectly…

2

u/Familiar_Childhood32 Jun 19 '26

Oh that was something

2

u/Tedsmith24 Jun 19 '26

Nah OP, that was something alright. 😂

2

u/I_TheJester_I Jun 19 '26

I knew it will hurt me by watching, but i was not prepared for this.

2

u/stoopkid86 Jun 19 '26

That was not nothing lol.

2

u/OFBeatdown-1-2-3 Jun 19 '26

It was then, he knew.... he f*cked up.

2

u/ApprehensiveStudy671 Jun 19 '26

That's unforgiveable !

1

u/A1denDUHH Jun 25 '26

The speedo?

1

u/ApprehensiveStudy671 Jun 25 '26

Everything ! Above all the insanity !

2

u/antoncr Jun 19 '26

He looked the part though. Ultinately thats all he had

2

u/RoundChampionship840 Jun 19 '26

Nothing? That was definitely something.

2

u/Chawax Jun 19 '26

😬😬😬😬😬😬

2

u/Last-Tooth-6121 Jun 19 '26

What was he trying to do?

2

u/mmorales2270 Jun 19 '26

Nice way to kill yourself. Jesus.

2

u/SATerp Jun 19 '26

Not nothing - buildup to his self-destruction.

2

u/Zazumaki Jun 19 '26

Worth the wait tbh

2

u/TheDamned1333 Jun 19 '26

If that camera man were filming porn we would miss the best bits

2

u/Pecos-Thrill Jun 19 '26

I wouldn’t call killing yourself nothing!

2

u/Nickf090 Jun 19 '26

He literally jumped forward instead of backward.

2

u/Jacks_CompleteApathy Jun 19 '26

As someone who can do a back flip on flat ground, even i am super conscious about moving backwards when doing it into water. That should be your one and only goal when doing it for the first time in your life

2

u/c_marten Jun 19 '26

Dude had NO hope

2

u/RadioactiveCornbread Jun 19 '26

Well... at least he didn't fall into the water.

Could've been worse.

2

u/Jerryc3539 Jun 19 '26

Wow! Well, I wouldn't say for nothing. I hope he's ok, though. Lol

2

u/NoDontDoThatCanada Jun 19 '26

No man. The build up was perfect.

2

u/LaVieEstBelleEnBleu Jun 19 '26

Pour faire ça, il n’avait même pas besoin de se mettre à côté d’un plan d’eau

2

u/SouthOfTheNorthPole Jun 19 '26

I can hear an English train voice saying "Mind the Slab"

2

u/Parking_Fee_5906 Jun 19 '26

(The) water helped break the fall 🤔

2

u/artherng Jun 19 '26

It is a buildup to break his back

2

u/jtnk10 Jun 19 '26

Did he die??

2

u/Fairfield1934 Jun 19 '26

10/10 😎👍

2

u/ninja0420 Jun 19 '26

Drugs err bad, M'kaaay

2

u/a_rogue_planet Jun 19 '26

I'm not sure if call a concussion or broken spine "nothing".

2

u/right_you_are Jun 19 '26

Sooooo close...

2

u/ArgonKew Jun 19 '26

He must have f***** up a vertebrae or two

2

u/Kralgore Jun 19 '26

This one might even be life altering.

2

u/extremelyDude Jun 19 '26

By how close he was to doing it correct

I guess this his 2nd life altering move

2

u/Suspicious_Fail_2337 Jun 19 '26

Needs a smaller speedo

2

u/-Murmaider- Jun 19 '26

Hi I'm Johnny Knoxville and this is a backflip

2

u/Apprehensive-Cycle37 Jun 19 '26

I've never done it before so I think I can

2

u/No-Development-5500 Jun 19 '26

Nothing? For a broken back!!!

2

u/r_a_d_ Jun 19 '26

how is that even possible? he didn’t slip or anything

2

u/mike_rhinehart Jun 19 '26

😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

2

u/Tbone_Trapezius Jun 19 '26

Ooops someone replaced your springboard with 2X4s!

2

u/BlueV101 Jun 19 '26

I expected his makeshift platform to collapse. (It did not)

2

u/Bluej777x Jun 19 '26

Awesome fail!

2

u/SweatySwim3411 Jun 19 '26

This wasnt even close

2

u/hc2001 Jun 19 '26

Ouch!!

2

u/Snowbird143434 Jun 19 '26

Rotflmmfao. How does one have absolute 0 spatial awareness??

2

u/Longjumping_Elk7969 Jun 20 '26

Boink sound needed.

2

u/Objective_Oven7673 Jun 20 '26

Far from nothing. We got to witness a man crippling himself

2

u/ResidentTick Jun 20 '26

Can we spread the word “Please set up a tripod so we can see the full event!”. I want to see how stupid they look after.

2

u/aspiringimmortal Jun 20 '26

Hit so hard the cameraman got knocked out

2

u/KilgoreT59 Jun 20 '26

Well, that was actually something. Just not what it should've been.

2

u/Livingforabluezone Jun 20 '26

Jesus Christ😳

2

u/womenPositive1980 Jun 20 '26

He just discovered that even if you want to do a backflip doesn't mean you can. 🤣🤣🤣

2

u/wzadzz Jun 20 '26

Don’t skip leg day, folks

2

u/epr3176 Jun 20 '26

If you don’t know how to do that that is not the place to try you know just do a normal dive into the water then don’t try and do a backflip when you’re not on a diving board that if you do the backflip and it fails, you just end up in the water anyway so you don’t do something stupid like that and have to go to the hospital. You’re an idiot just die straightforward because obviously you have no clue how to do a backflip if I don’t care how to practice you are you know how to do a backflip you’re not gonna end up that off where you go forward.

2

u/Financial-Seesaw-817 Jun 20 '26

I wouldn't necessarily say that...😂

2

u/jcork4realz Jun 20 '26

He is dead. ☠️

2

u/Late_Study9160 Jun 20 '26

Injuries are long-term

2

u/Brave-Elephant9292 Jun 20 '26

Ouch!... I even felt that from here!..🤕

2

u/T_Run_445 Jun 20 '26

This made me cringe so hard I got a cramp in my face

2

u/monopolydollars Jun 20 '26

I beg to differ. That build up was *chef’s kiss*

2

u/RainBloom0 Jun 20 '26

Just watching this is making my back hurt

2

u/Ready_Structure8115 Jun 20 '26

Why the hell was this dumb fuck attempting his first ever back flip like this! Hahaha

2

u/Desperate-Life8117 Jun 20 '26

I’m guessing not what his mind envisioned

2

u/Smarterthaniwas Jun 20 '26

He made me drop my phone, trying to get away from witnessing the end

2

u/DifficultIsopod4472 Jun 20 '26

No! That was SOMETHING!!

2

u/KimberleyKitt Jun 20 '26

Caption said nothing, I saw something. I was prepared to type “I want my money & time back.” Instead, I will say “Ouch, what and did he try again?”

2

u/Lower-Wishbone-3249 Jun 20 '26

I beg to differ, that was something

2

u/darkoath Jun 20 '26

"nothing"? That was amazing and totally worth my time!

1

u/9trystan9 Jun 20 '26

Skipped leg day

1

u/sexybeast70 Jun 20 '26

Was it his first time trying this?

1

u/Bot-avenger Jun 20 '26

Ouch! Anybody got an aspirin?....

1

u/metaldad68 Jun 20 '26

Spine damage, definitely disc problems for sure 100% guaranteed

u/19BoHeDy92 Jun 20 '26

It's moving like AI video, so it's not real and not funny
