The best laid plans... in this case, a hammock set up over the water... can sometimes go horribly awry. This fails in a way you're probably not expecting.
We don't get too political around here, but the moments leading up to Senator Marco Rubio taking a quick drink of water during the Republican Rebuttal was just WEIRD.
It's worth nothing that Mick and Bobbe had done nine shots of vodka when they thought trying to nail this shot - a ball just inches from a pond, was a good idea. As far as the internet is concerned, it was a BRILLIANT idea.
A happy day of sledding and skating at Jackson Lake outside Wrightwood, California took a turn when a man fell through thin ice... Things went from lighthearted to panicked when up to twelve rescuers fell into the water, struggling to stay afloat.
I'm not being cute here... they're really doing it! In keeping with my obsession with different animal species getting along (if only humans could do the same) here is a Labrador retriever and a carp who share some open mouth kisses, then swim around together.
I can't imagine how filthy that water might be. I can't imagine how they all seem to be so good looking...(duh, it's sponsored) but nonetheless, these young people turned this drain pipe into a pretty awesome waterslide. I'm sure it was a blast - a fair compromise for all the bacterial infections
Adoring onlookers at the National Zoo in Washington, DC were captivated by a mama lion grooming her cubs. Then, the mama suddenly dunked one in the water, and the crowd shrieked with delight. (cue the AWWWW!) The cub was less enthusiastic.
Who ever thought that this rickety little dock could withstand twelve people? Nonetheless, the reactions - screams so frantic you would think the world is ending - are hysterical.
It's a good thing this goes right into a big lake, because you may pee yourself by the time you finish riding this 40 foot long Slip 'N Slide that goes off a 35 foot cliff into the water.
Instead of a bachelor party, a bunch of guys played the ultimate prank on the groom. SAYING they were going bungee jumping, they suited him up and cheered him on, blindfolded as he jumped. Instead of falling 50 feet from a bridge, he plunged three feet into a lake. Evil.
This video by Freaksport shows my newest summer obsession: a Hydrofoil water bike, which is a bike outfitted with hydrofoils, relying on man (or woman)power to keep it above the surface.
This looks like FUN! Mind you, it only looks fun because no one was hurt. If someone was hurt, you'd go, 'well, serves 'em right for doing something to STUPID!' But this went off successfully, so it's cool.
This, my friends, is the reason you won't find me doing this stuff. An Australian tourist was bungee jumping over the Zambesi River a crocodile infested body of water which is right on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. Here is the disturbing video.
A new gizmo called a Flyboard allows the user to be totally awesome. More specifically, rise in and out of the water like a dolphin. Check out the cool video.
Clothing company Vooray teamed up with some crazy daredevil watery types to create this human slingshot. Insanely Fun? Looks like it! Dangerous? Probably. After watching you're likely to say to yourself one of two things: 1) I wish I were doing that. 2) I wish I were young again.
If you want a smile, just take a look at what it takes to make these two adorable little tots laugh. A spray mister bottle full of water, and two kids just WAITING to be sprayed. Ah, the simple pleasures!
