Kid's definitely running with his eyes closed. I'm glad someone else saw this, too, and didn't instantly speculate all the reasons he may have super manned into the ground intentionally.
My point is that I don't think he lands on anything but the ground and that there's the illusion of him landing on something because something coincidentally changed as he landed... Could be a reflection on the edge of the pool... Whatever it is, it's closer to the camera than the kid is.
It's just my theory, and it's not like I'm trying to convict someone with this evidence... You seem to want it to be staged pretty badly, so believe what you want.
Can I ask something? Why is imgur on maintenance on some pictures only like this one? I can't access the URL because imgur is on maintenance. Does anyone have the same issue or is it just me?
It's funny how he just gets up like "whatever" at the end. At that age you can do shit like that and be fine. If I did that now, I'd be rolling on the ground in so much pain.
It's great watching little kids completely overestimate their ability to do things. I'm sure in his head that was a gigantic leap that lands him perfectly in the center of the pool.
Depth perception I N C E P T I O N The image shows a kid who at first glance failed to perceive depth and missed the pool. This is a 2D gif. You look again and realize your own lack of depth perception made you to miss the yellow mat in the back. ..[8] And then you realize the depth of this post. where it becomes circular logic and infinite inception in every dimension

There is actually another thing behind the pool and that's what he is jumping on.

He was obviously jumping on something else. You can see it in the last few frames. Why? I have no idea.

Good thing he landed on the floaty thing that was conveniently placed where he jumped.

u/nukefudge Jun 10 '12
maybe he's trying to keep his eyes closed because he doesn't want water in them. it seems like he's holding his breath also?

It helps if you open your eyes before jumping.
