This is the unexpected moment that a downpour turned a plastic athletic track into a makeshift trampoline, capturing onlookers' delight as the two boys joyfully bounced and played in the accumulated water.

On June 17, 2024, in Guangxi, China, after a heavy rain, the plastic track at a local school absorbed water, creating a spongy, bouncy surface that intrigued students and provided an unexpected playground.

The video captured one student energetically hopped across the bubbly track, while another enjoyed kicking a soccer ball through puddles.

Experts suggested that the bubbling effect might have occurred because the plastic material had not been fully dry before the track's installation. Once it rained, water seeped into the material, causing the track to bubble and deform.

The event concluded without reported injuries, leaving the community with a memorable and amusing story of nature’s unexpected twist on a simple school playground.
