Learn about our Editorial Process Updated on 07/14/18 Summertime is upon us, and that means it's time to lotion up and hit the pool! Too bad nobody told the people in these gifs that they shouldn't literally hit the pool. All of these folks were just enjoying some fun in the sun when they made a pretty awkward miscalculation and wound up falling flat on their faces (or their backs, in some cases). Rest assured that we didn't include any GIFs in this gallery that showed people getting badly injured. They're out there, yes; but they're just not funny. These GIFs, however... now these are funny. Nobody got badly hurt, and they all lived to screw up another day. 01 of 20 Putting the Flop in Belly Flop Via Giphy/America's Funniest Home Videos.

Nobody could have ever predicted that this type of accident would happen! How totally shocking! WRONG. The web is actually filled with videos of people bouncing from trampoline to pool, like a bunch of wannabe Evil Knievels. Do yourself a favor and just skip this trick. 03 of 20 Don't Try This at Home, Kids Via Gifbay. No diving board? Just make one yourself out of common household items. Bad idea.

Stupid floaties, always scooting out from under you when you're trying to relax in your tiny kiddie pool. 08 of 20 Slide On, My Good Man. Slide On Via Giphy. That doesn't look comfortable. At all. 09 of 20 My Back Hurts Just Looking at This Via Cheezburger. Ow, ow, ow, OW. Does anyone else feel that right in the vertebrate? Makes me want a heating pad and some Advil just looking at it. 10 of 20 Wait for It... Via reddit u/MikeyTheDinosaur. First guy does great. Second guy does great. Third guy... not so much. Way to knock 'em over like a couple of bowling pins! 11 of 20 Just Rolling With the Punches Via gifbin. This little girl just learned a valuable life lesson: Any pool can be a danger zone, matter how small it is. 12 of 20 That's Gotta Hurt Via OhMaGif.
