Belly flops. Cannonballs. Badly timed dives.
Being thrown into a pool. Being thrown out of a pool.
Surfing splashes. Waterski crashes.
There are a lot of ways to wipe out in water, is what I’m poetically getting at here.
And while it obviously can hurt, watching people get smoked by a huge wave or bellyflop into a pool isn’t quite as terrifying as watching people crash out on dry land.
There’s something softer about it. Something special. They’re probably alright, right? We can laugh about this, can’t we???
Sure hope so, because here are a few water wipeouts that would be tragic if they weren’t so comical.
