In the clip, a man stands on the sand holding a long stick in the water while his friend waits and tells him to run up for the jump.
Before taking off, he jokes that the stunt is for "Simone seafood boil," clearly meaning Simone Biles – and seemingly unaware that pole vaulting isn't even a gymnastics event.
He sprints toward the river and tries to vault across, but the stick immediately snaps, sending him straight into the water.
One viewer joked, "Don't do nothing else for Simone Biles."
