What an idiot..Im guessing it was like a 3 foot part of the pool..Its not that hard to see how deep it is just by looking..Im gunna guess he was drunk.

He's quite lucky that he wasn't left paralyzed in some form. That is a very common way to break your neck.

definitely the dumbest injury of the year.

 

although the award for weirdest should go to Brandon Inge's DL stint on account of him moving a pillow.

[Derwood]

my uncle did that but he dove off a pier and hit his head on a log. I don't know how many dozens of stiches it took to reattach his scalp (yes, really)

[BaseballBob]

Dumbest, yes. Weirdest? I think Inge has that one hands down.

 

Idiots crack their skulls on pool bottoms all the time, but moving a pillow? That takes imagination and initiative!
