Usually belly-flopping into a pool is something you'd want to avoid doing, but what if there was a competition dedicated to this ridiculous form of diving? Well this is actually a reality, in Norway at least.

In the Det Internasjonale Dødseforbundet, which translates to the "World Championship of Death Diving," the main goal of the contest is to see who can do the most impressive belly flop into a pool from a high dive platform.

From side flops, to full on belly-to-water contact, watch as these jumpers skydive face-first into the pool below.
