This is the amusing moment a man failed miserably at a trampoline centre near Salt Lake City, Utah in the USA.

In the clip the man attempts to jump from a platform and then bounce off the trampoline below into a foam pit.

However, he ends up face-planting hard into the trampoline, much to his friends' amusement.

Although he wasn't seriously injured, he did do his back in with the failed stunt and needed a trip to hospital.

The clip was filmed in 2012 but has only recently emerged online.

I was at a singles event with my friends singles ward and I failed at this jump. The plan was to jump off the platform then bounce of the trampoline and land in a foam pit. But I ended up face planting hard and throwing out my back so bad I had to have my brother drive me to the urgent care the next day.
