Summer: it's the season of ice cream, happiness and endless sunshine (kind of…).

It's also the season of massive, massive fails. Maybe it's the heat, or maybe people just feel a bit more adventurous, but something about summer makes people commit all kinds of hilarious mistakes. And, fortunately, most of them get caught on camera.

So, as a bit of Friday fun, we've picked some of our favourite summer fails for your enjoyment. You probably shouldn't laugh, but it's just too hard not to.

Backflippin' hell, that must have hurt

Woah, look at that backfli- oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear.

The best throw in ever (nearly)
