Woman's Diving Failure Reminds Everyone How Funny Losing Can Be
1010 WINS- Twitter can be the perfect reminder that you're never, ever alone.
When Lesley Goynes posted a video of her friend attempting a dive during swim practice and not exactly sticking the entry, she had no idea it would go viral. But as we all know, everyone loves a good #EpicFail.
So this girl I volunteer with showed me this video last week of her leg giving out during a HS dive competition and I now watch regularly when i need a laugh pic.twitter.com/UalGTUeb9C

According to Lesley, the video was from four years ago and her friend's failure was due to her leg giving out -- it certainly served as a beacon of hope to divers all over that no one's perfect.
Naturally, others had to jump into the mix -- and the Twitter thread was hilarious, now operating as a repository for tons of clips showing divers failing and flailing mid-jump.

Remember, life is all about taking leaps, but sometimes your awful attempts can be the most memorable!
