Victor dives towards disaster

After initially confusing ‘plask’ (‘splash’) with ‘klask’ (‘slap’), Victor asks Mark if the neighbouring house has a swimming pool.

At Mark’s confirmation, the two head over to the neighbour’s swimming pool.

Victor looks around for more weight to create his splash, and settles on Mark.

Mark and Victor proceed to argue about Mark’s involvement in the task, especially after Mark tests the temperature of the water.

Finally, the two jump into the rectangular pool from one of its longest sides and, instead of tucking himself up into a compact cannonball, the very tall Victor does a bellyflop.

The combination of these two choices mean that Victor comes incredibly close to smacking his head on the opposite edge of the narrow pool.

In the studio, a close-up picture is shown as evidence of just how close Victor came to disaster.

Victor’s splash is measured at 1.92 metres, and he comes third.
