[Scheherazade]

It definitely seemed to be on a foam base of some sort which was a bit disappointing.  Doing a belly flop like that, I imagine it doesn't matter if it's a foot of water or fifty feet, you're going to only go so deep once you hit like that.  Still, hitting water, especially like that, can hurt from heights and like people have said, if he hits at the wrong angle he's in trouble... unless there's a foam cushion under the pool.  I have to wonder if he wanted it there or if the show's insurance required it.

I was far more impressed by the girl who was doing somersaults off of that flexible balance beam.  I think she had a more dangerous act and one that was a good deal more interesting and fun to watch.
