Insane.

I notice the pool is on some sort of pad, and the pad is on snow. The snow is not all that deep, but it's not like the pool is sitting on concrete. There's some extra cushioning there in addition to the 12 inches of water. He clearly goes through the water and hits the bottom of the pool, so the little extra cushioning helps.

Still, I'd never do it.

Not to mention the water was near freezing, so that infinitesimal increase in viscosity should absorb slightly more energy...
