Shocking moment lifeguard boots nervous swimmer off 10m high diving board after he 'refused to come down' | The Sun

THIS is the shocking moment a LIFEGUARD boots a nervous swimmer off a 10 metre high diving board.

Frightening footage shows the young lad being shamelessly kicked from the great height at an Austrian pool earlier this month.


Attempts had been made to coax the scared swimmer down by two other lifeguards, according to reports.

He can be seen in the video, published by the German publication Bild, holding onto the railings and effortlessly shoving the youngster.

The terrified boy then plummets off the 10 metre drop into water below.
