Man jumps into frozen pool and bounces
A video of a man trying - and failing spectacularly - to jump into a frozen swimming pool is going viral on YouTube.
The clip shows the man posing by the side of the pool before attempting a 'bomb' into the pool.
Link to YouTube video - WARNING - contains strong language.
But he fails to break through the ice and instead lands with a thud and is sent sliding across the frozen surface of the pool.
It may have been painful for the man, who sounds German, but his friends appeared to enjoy the stunt as they watched from the sidelines in hysterics.
The video has racked up nearly 8.5 million views since it was uploaded onto the video-sharing website.
One user commented: "I can't describe how much this made me laugh! It gets funnier each time I swear."

Sounds painful when he lands. Maybe he should put some ice on it :-D
