Cool Off With These 'AFV' Diving Board Fails

Look, folks, we’re not trying to tell you how to enjoy the final days of summer. But if this America’s Funniest Home Videos compilation of painful diving board mishaps is any indication, some people out there definitely need a refresher course on the do’s and don’ts of diving-board use. For example, do make sure your diving board is actually attached to its base before using. Don’t forget to rotate fully when executing an off-the-board somersault, lest you wind up landing with a painful belly flop. And do make sure your feet connect with the board before launching yourself into the water. Trust us on that last one.

And while we’re talking warm-weather water sports, don’t forget that man’s best friend also enjoys a dip in the pool from time to time. Stay cool, everybody!
