Man dives head-first into a flying swim cap in glorious slow motion

After two long years, Dan has finally returned to The Slow Mo Guys — and he’s picked up exactly where he left off.

Ever the half of the YouTube duo to get stuck into new experiments, Dan’s first stunt back was to attempt to put on a swim cap in mid-air by diving into it head-first. Needless to say, it took him more than a few attempts — but his friend and partner Gav was right there behind the camera to capture all of them in extreme slow motion.

Will the technique ever catch on at an Olympic level? Probably not. But it certainly makes for an entertaining 12 minutes of viewing.
