Instructor saves first time solo skydivers life in midair
Even the smartest people can become "deer in the headlights" type stupid when they are overstimulated in an environment like a skydive. This guy couldn't pull his own chute only because he was new, scared, tense and overwhelmed once he lost control.
This guy wasn't on his first time as a solo skydiver, he probably had ten jumps or so and is clearly still over-amped from the whole experience. The worst thing you can do on a skydive is tense up and overcompensate all of your movements. All you need to do is relax and be symmetrical and you will stabilize thanks to the airflow. This is the exact opposite of what you have been taught your whole life where you need to fling your body's momentum around rather emphatically if you want to get anywhere at lower airspeeds (think doing a backflip off of a diving board, you need to emphatically kick your legs up and your head back - in skydiving it's all about smooth controlled movements that control airflow, not momentum).
The dude just freaked out and flailed about like an idiot. Human error, that's all.
The instructor is a certified badass for catching and saving the student as low as he did.
James Bond style Custom Hidden Pool
>> ^poolcleaner:
What is the point of this pool? No diving board, you can't do laps, no marco polo... I don't get it.
It saves space, its a refreshing retreat in the water on a hot day, it doubles as a beautiful patio, it increases the resale value of the house, it is just a nice feature to have when showing the house off.

Stacked Inflatable Tube Diving Fail
I used to expect that to happen to my dad every time I saw him use the diving board. It was a genuine, anxiety-causing phobia.

Do You Remember The BoardGame MouseTrap? - AVGN Does!
Maybe our household wasn't normal but my three siblings and I would play this game properly. And, yes, when the first two players get to the final-loop part of the game it can take a few turns before someone lands on the cheese whilst the other player lands on the crank. But that gives the other players a chance to catch up. There are only six squares in that final-loop part of the game, so by the time three or four players get there you get to set off the trap quite often.
Part of the appeal was the fact that the trap wouldn't always work. Sometimes the ball would get stuck at the bottom of the rickety stairs, or the spring-loaded "helping hand" wouldn't fire when the ball hit it, or the man on the diving board would jump into the pool only for the cage to stubbornly sway at the top of the pole without dropping. If the trap fails to work then you gain a reprieve, the trap is reset, and the next player takes their turn.
So when you finally get to turn the crank to set off the trap there's a sense of anticipation with one player rooting for the trap to work and the other hoping that it jams up somewhere. And then there's all the oohs and aahs and cheers in reaction depending on who you're rooting for.
Great game, I loved it.
Will a cannonball float in mercury?
where's the diving board?
Swimming Kittehs/Cat.
"...very proud of themselves."
Anthropomorphism. I don't see any of them jumping off the diving board or frolicking down the kitty slide. They are simply trying to get out of the water. No "teaching" required (other than maybe lessening their fear of the water, which still doesn't mean they like it).
@SG - Swampcats don't count.
