Extreme and outlandish stunts can often cause us to peer through our fingers in anticipation of something going horribly wrong.
Stunts can often be dangerous, life-threatening and many require an abundance of training and preparation to perform safely.
Even then, many dangerous stunts, even when executed by the most skilled and highly trained professional, can go wrong.
Here are some stunts that just didn't go to plan. A warning do not try any of these at home!

American Steven LoBue smashed his head on the diving board while attempting a back triple somersault with four twists from 27.5 metres high.
Despite the mishap, LoBue managed to land feet first in the water as intended.
