"Shallow diving is really quite a beautiful sport." (Shows clip of guy belly-flopping into a kiddy pool)

For those of you old enough to have seen it; Bugs Bunny nearly dove 500 feet into a damp sponge.  Only to be outdone by Bruno the Magnificent when he dove 1, 000 feet into a block of cement.

World's Highest Dive into Concrete. Now that's extreme sport, also known as Suicide.

When you make a block of water so you dont take fall damage

Sometimes, whenever I eat M&Ms, I like to hold two M&M's in between my fingers and squeeze as hard as I can until one M&M cracks. I eat the cracked one, and the one that didn't crack becomes the champion. Then I grab the other m&m, and force it to compete with the champion in this deadly game of M&M gladiators. I do this until I run out of m&m's, and when there is only one m&m left standing, I send a letter to m&m's brand with the champion M&M in it with a note attached that reads: "Please use this m&m for breeding purposes."

Oh, I am disappointed when I saw the cushion under the pool. :/

How does one identify this as their God-given talent

[yasukeg]

This is simple physics people, clearly you haven't played Minecraft

[hecticus]

Is it impossible to have a world record for the most world records because if you get another record for having the most records, wouldnt you beat your own world record and get another world record and it would just keep adding up

[SafelandingRecords]

I'd break my damn neck diving into that. Absolutely insane...kudos.

[ogechiu.]

In the beginning, I thought they were saying "THANOS, THANOS, THANOS"

[ΜαρίαΠαππά-σο]

Daisy May cooper brought me here. This is the deep south of America people!!!

The Asian who was interviewing was so happy!😂

[patrickw]

thought the guy pancaked and blood everywhere at 1:07 lol

[ethancrowder]

That girl who was pushed off that bridge by her friend beat the record

[Jamsaladd]

Him arcing his back like that gives me anxiety. Can't believe he hasn't paralyzed himself.

How does someone get into this? It seems like a "hold my beer" scenario taken to a more dangerous level.
