ouch!!!!!!!!!

That hurts, even if you’re only looking at it

Almost as humorous as us helocasting off North Carolina coast and finding out as they desperately dragged us into boats that the beaches were closed because of shark warnings. Wonder why they dropped a complete team before they decided it was too dangerous?

Remember kids, bellyflops are very dangerous and should only be left to highly trained professionals. Do not try this at home or anywhere else for that matter.

A 3-meter board is usually a springboard. A 10-meter board is usually a platform. A belly flop from a 10-meter platform would probably, if possible, be even more painful…

I can feel today’s comic decades later here.

They need to install a water softener.

You ought to try it from a 10 meter platform. Now that leaves a mark.

Love the artwork leading up to the splashdown.

After witnessing that happen to someone I knew when I was about 6, I never tried to dive from the high board/tower. I would jump from it and I would dive from the lower board but never dive from up high.
