This past weekend was the unofficial start of summer. Let’s continue the summer theme with some backyard mishaps. (But don’t try any of these at home…ouch!)

Remember Slip ‘n Slide? There are lots of homemade versions out there.

One more Slip ‘n Slide video; this one involves a roof.

Trampolines are always good for a laugh or two.

But they don’t make ‘em like they used to.

But combine a trampoline with the local fauna, and you’ve got a new reality show for the Discovery Channel.

Natalie attempts a backflip off the pool slide into a floating cube.

Some people should just stay off the diving board.

A world record belly flop (I hope he goes home and thinks about the choices he’s made in life.)

And Extreme Ball Jousting. (Yeah, you heard me.)

  1. the slip and slide off the roof guys should get A’s in physics

  2. Most of those fall under the category “Hey y’all, watch this!”

  3. Okay, important notes when “Ball Jousting”
    1. Whoever gets lower usually wins (which any football lineman could tell you).
    2. Having the sidewalk to your back – very bad idea!
