^^ I wouldn't have expected him to get around like that from a sitting position -- and he's 3/4 of the way around before he got below the board (i.e., he could have done that from a 1m board). That guy is surprisingly nimble considering his size/shape -- I don't see how this is gonna hurt though (maybe the board :))

BTW.. 3 meter boards have become almost extinct at swimming pools. The owner of the pool I go to said he had to pull his out because no one would insure him except Lloyds of London. I have seen a few still around, so I expect he was exaggerating the point: "insurance was just too expensive."

Yeah, it just looks like it's gonna hurt from that shot :)

This guy played water polo in college, and I guess was one of those class clown types when it came to the diving board back then. Certainly knew what he was doing :)

The insurance really is high on diving boards these days. Almost all of the pools in my city removed them 5-15 years ago.

Roller derby makes for some fun shooting. If only it was popular enough to not always be held in horribly dim locations.

Oh wow, that does not look good for either the rider or horse. How did that one end?
