The German tradition of Arschebombe

A diving sport that involves making the biggest splash.

While the act of cannonballing into a pool and getting all your friends wet is a popular tradition at some parties, one doesn’t generally think of it as a serious sporting event.  In Germany, however, this act of diving in an irregular manner has grown to such levels that it is now a serious competitive event featuring its own championships.  It’s called Splash Diving to many, but some still refer to it by its less-polite name of Arschebombe, or “ass bombing.”
