Jumping from roof to pool - not so hollywood for one girl (injury warning)

[PepperElf]

Girl breaks both feet in failed pool jump


Nothing really graphic in the link, but one of the girls was very injured.


Don't do this. Just because you see it in a lot of TV shows and movies doesn't mean it's cool and fun.

Also, just because someone tells you to do it... doesn't mean you should. I mean sure I hope the guys who kept telling them to jump feel like shit about it, but... the girls didn't have to listen. They chose to do it.


So yeah... don't do stupid shit like this. Even if a friend tells you to.

And mommy posted the video online to raise money for her medical expenses.

It takes a lotta nerve to ask others to fund your stupidity.

I saw the video - her MOTHER posted that?

I'm sorry, I've seen lots of people doing this sort of thing wrong, and their being told about how to do it right -- provided the pool is right next to the roof.

Jump DOWN, not OUT.

My favorite oxymoron that I like to think I coined...

If you're going to be stupid, be smart.

That aside, oh GOD why? Why would you do it in the first place??

[Eevie]

Well, hopefully through this little experience she'll know not to do it again...

Hey! It is cool and fun, if you like having broken feet, then it kicks ass.
