    Belly flop

    This video is presently doing the rounds on Facebook.
    I guess most of us have experienced the sting of a belly flop, just from the side of a pool.
    Dread to imagine what this felt like.....

    Ouch! Looks a bit staged though - why would they have filmed it from two different angles?

    I am guessing because it would've been impressive had it gone well. In either case, that girl's got some skill and bottle :)

    Best part for me is the little rainbow that forms as she hits the water

    I found sky diving less scary than a bungy jumping. More tranquil also. Bungying was much more of a rush, - probably because you see can immediately see the floor and have a great sense of speed.

    Whilst it was a bit higher, people used to jump off Darling Harbour bridge in Sydney all the time. I know one person who cracked some ribs belly flopping.
