Belly-flopping for fun and profit
Water World advertises itself as “America’s Biggest. America’s Best.” I’m not sure if either one of those statements are true and have no idea how to verify them, but what I do know is that any place that hosts a shallow-diving world record attempt is A-Ok in my book. Check out this photo of Darren Taylor’s attempt, taken by Kristin Morin, one of my staff members over at YourHub.com:
He dove 35′ 5″ into a mere 12 inches of water. To break his own record. It’s not like he’s got a bunch of youngsters nipping at his heels here. He’s donning the waterproof onesie and risking torso injury just for the attention (and maybe some endorsements?) at this point.
Fun fact: he honed his craft at Casa Bonita.
And seriously, how great is that photo?
