Excited boy learns the hard way that running around the pool isn't a smart idea

If smoke detectors were triggered by audacity, the poor subject of this clip would have had his family panicking like the protagonists in the final act of a horror movie.

Shared by Alexander, this CCTV footage shows his son stepping out of the swimming pool and immediately running around it without drying off his feet.

As expected, it doesn't take long for him to experience an embarrassing fall followed by a loud crying session.

"He was running around the pool and tripped," Alexander told WooGlobe. "Scorpion - Faceplant - Epic Fail!"
