YDI for doing something you know you would suck at

NAILED IT!!!!

HEY. Look on the bright side, you kind of conquered your fear... At least you did a barrel roll :D

I'd love to see any footage of tuat on YouTube :D

Facing your fears is always a slippery slope. At least you're no longer wet behind the ears.

Well... After the dive I'd say maybe he was, slightly. ;)

My sister once conquered her fear and jumped off the high dive...she back slapped the water and couldn't walk properly and couldn't sleep on her back. It's hilarious every time we reminisce.

I imagined the scream to be like that in star wars and it made the barrel roll that much better

This sounds like something Will Ferrell would do...

Maybe the screaming could pass as sound effects, I mean barrel rolls are hard, guys.

Did anyone else hear Peppy's voice from star fox when reading barrel roll?

Hope you didnt get hurt OP! Try using smaller diving boards to get comfortable with it first

Did it hurt when you fell from the diving board? Because you're a splash hit!

He's comfortable with the smaller ones dipshit. That's why they are trying the big one to conquer their fear

Hahaha . That would have been funny to see. Hope you're not too hurt!

I don't see why this is getting thumbed down, I laughed my ass off when I pictured this FML in my head. I can't wait for the illustrated one!

I know this sounds like a long shot but are that person from that video who backed out on the high dive and hit the smaller one on the way down?

oh god. wouldnt that be some shit?

That would be some shit

It'd be something, don't think it'd be shit though, let's ask the librarian from the other FML her thoughts on it.

As my professor would say, it's always better the next time you do it. So go out there and try!

Never give up! Trust your instincts.

THIS tops the Pixies Stole my Penis FML. BIG TIME. XD BEST FML EVER!

no

At least you can swim! I cannot, and am afraid of water. I got pushed in quite often as a kid and nearly drowned twice. Could've been worse, just start over and ace it next time! You can do it!

Hopefully you didn't get hurt. At least now you that next time you try it to be more careful. It won't be as terrifying when you jump off instead of fall off

I think the only thing that was hurt was his ego for screaming like a girl
