One of the most painful experiences a person can have is messing up their dive in the backyard and hitting the surface of the water belly first. It stings worse than a bee! For some reason, Norway has turned this painful activity into a competitive sport called dodsing. The goal is for each jumper to stay completely flat for as long as possible.The big finish has them curling their bodies at the last second to prevent injury. After all, it’s all fun and games until you curl up too late! The jumper who stays perfectly flat the longest gets the highest score from the judges and wins.
