He bounced on the trampoline and whipped off his black polo to cheers of 'Go on Jamie!' and 'Hurry up I don't have much storage.' 

But after counting to three his plan crumbled when he catapulted into the side of the pool.

Retail worker Jamie, from Thornhill, Southampton, was confident he would make it but vowed never to try again after his defeat.

He said: "To be fair I thought I was going to make it. That's why I did it.

"There's no chance I'll be doing that again. My legs are killing."

Screams of laughter were heard from relatives as the embarrassed daredevil eagerly got up and walked away.

Family member Jenna Young, 36, who shot the footage said: "He kept trying to chicken out of it so I dared him £20 for a giggle.

"When he hit into the swimming pool it was just so funny.

"He wasn't hurt or anything.

"We were actually wanting him to do it backwards too but that's probably not a good idea now."

The video was shot on June 1.
