A Fourth of July pool party almost came to a tragic end after a couple of revelers decided to jump off the roof of the home where the gathering was being held.
Cellphone footage captures the heart-stopping moment a couple take a running jump from a two-story house, with the aim of landing in the pool below.
Although it appears the couple planned to jump together, the man ends up being first to take the plunge, literally.

The man succeeds and leaps with abandon but the woman hesitates not giving her enough clearance
He leaps into the air for a perfect splashdown and is closely followed by a woman who upon reaching the edge of the rooftop suddenly hesitates, causing her to slow her run.
As she reaches the point of no return, she falters and instead of leaping off the roof she ends up crashing into a patio shelter under which other partygoers are enjoying their drinks.
Her leg catches the edge of the shelter on her way to the ground and sees her flipping over before ending up in the pool headfirst.

It is only upon viewing the video several times that viewers can see how close to suffering serious injuries she came.
Although she ended up hitting part of the covering as she made her descent, had she not, the woman would almost certainly have slammed straight into the concrete below or perhaps even have smashed her head onto the pool deck.
Thankfully, the video has a happy ending. With dust still hanging in the air from her collision with the building, she manages to raise her hands in the air and cheer at her remarkable survival, much to the hilarity of those gathered at the packed party.
