I have more pictures!

 

[Halberstram]

The same thing happened to this fat once at school. :lol

 

[Escape Goat]

The pictures made me laugh. I dont know why. I'm seriously afraid for myself.

 

[Dagless M.D.]

There has to be a gif made of this

 

[The Faceless Master]

I have more pictures!

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Red Scarlet]

Looks like a hole in her face..bet that didn't feel too good when it got chlorine water filling it.

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

At least her eyes are ok. It almost looks like she landed on her eyeballs.

 

[Matlock]

Any videos of this or even more info? The more I think about it, the worse it actually seems. I know it's not funny and it could have been serious (even deadly)

 

[Excess Poo Flakes]

I would go on a date with her.

 

[CabbageRed]

Omg. I did not need to see that. A little more human anguish and blood than I expected from the "Ouch!" title.

[Groder Mullet]

I fail to see the humor in this. The poor girl could have snapped her neck.

Seriously? It isn't even broken, that's like a cut. I've seen more blood than that from a shaving accident in the shower.

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

I can't believe no one asked this yet: what did the judges give it?

 

[CabbageRed]

It's the look in her eyes coupled with the blood that gets to me. I was expecting something humorous and was not prepared (and eating).

 

[demon]

:lol o shit, that was just too much

 

[BuckRobotron]

Same here.

 

[AntoneM]

I'd hit it.

 

[belgurdo]

I'd hit it.

You've been beaten to it :lol

 

[Escape Goat]

I'd hit it.

hah. I just got it.

They should put rubber on those edges...

is it wrong that the bloodier pics made me laugh MORE?

Thats what got me. She just looked like she was enjoying the blinding pain.

 

[Mr. E. Yis]

Unless I hear that this accident happened because of something stupid that she did (Darwin award), I'm not laughing. That's just messed up.

 

[Red Blaster]

In the bloody pics she looks like Denis Leary.

 

[Joates]

Uhh shes a trained diver. Therefore it probably is something that she did. I doubt the board moved out a few inches after she jumped off...

 

[Cauliflower of Love]

Diving from a large height, right next to a big board into a large pool of water for others entertainment is pretty stup....


oh wait It's sports, nevermind.

Its funny because she's a competing diver and that's the sort of stuff you see preteen girls doing at the city pool the first time they try a backflip. :lol

People hit their faces/noses on diving boards all the freaking time. I guess I just fail to see what is so horrific about this.

 

[isamu]

Wow...

Sorry that we aren't going all jinx and cutting ourselves over the well-being of this woman enough for you, dude

 

[Ninja Scooter]

yeah because doing backflips off a board 20 feet in the air isn't at all a reckless activity. This is no different than those kids you see on videos all over the internet getting owned while trying to pull off bmx/skateboard stunts.

 

[eLGee]

Damn, I saw that event on TV! Missed this tho.

 

[Comfort_Eagle]

I fail to see the humor in this. The poor girl could have snapped her neck.

But she didnt. Hence the funny.

 

[Lemurnator]

I've fucked my face up so many times on the sides/bottoms/diving boards of pools. Hurts so fucking bad and I'm lucky I've never broken anything, displaced anything, or gotten any serious scars.

Every kid that swims does this! I lost ta permanent tooth to the diving board at my city pool. It grew back, though, which was strange. I must be like 1/16 shark.

Is that even possible? Isn't that like growing back a lost eyeball?

 

[Umpteen]

No, because everyone grows back one set of teeth. I don't think we get a second try on eyeballs.

I'm saying I had already lost all my baby teeth and grown them back (I was like 12), and then I knocked one of my front two out, and it grew back again.

So yes, it is possible.

 

[Littleberu]

I'm going to hell for sure.

 

[Matlock]

First thing I thought of when I posted this thread, btw.

 

[kIdMuScLe]

did they at least drain the pool and replace it with new water? what if she had hiv or somethign?

Ok, I'm no expert, but what I do know about aids leads me to believe a few drops of infected blood in an olympic sized swimming pool is not going to infect anyone.

I could be wrong!
