I want to know who the pool was made by.

judging by the one ramp.. they have been skatboarding into the pool for a while

I'm not sure how they expected this to go. The ramp was obviously unable to sustain the load - it seemed like a couple pallets leaned against the frame of the pool. But if the ramp had worked, they'd have landed on the piers/spires on the opposite side of the pool, likely puncturing the unibody and impaling at least one occupant.

I dunno, maybe these guys are stupid like a fox.

I'll put serious money on that XJ running again like nothing ever happened.

if you are going to destroy the pool anyway.. why not just drive straight into the side of it.. sounds like it would be more fun and make a bigger splash

In reply to alex:

The article says it still runs.

I'm thinking no one ever taught them physics.

I suspect that they were planning on taking the pool down anyway.

There's no way that ramp was high enough. Amateurs.
