A dad knocked himself out after leaping in a pool from the roof like his rock star hero – but going head-first.

His daughter filmed her father jumping into the hard-sided standalone pool and immediately falling unconscious.

He was seen floating motionless in the water as family members apparently thought he was joking at first.

They then realised the seriousness of the situation and called the emergency services, before he was rushed to hospital in an ambulance.

The injured man’s daughter, known online as Morena Cabrera, posted several clips of her dad’s failed attempt on TikTok.

They were captioned: “POV: Your dad thinks he’s Charly Garcia.”

Two videos went viral with 4.2m and 1.9m views respectively, as reported by Need To Know.

The dad reportedly regained consciousness on the way to the medical centre and, after undergoing several tests, was discharged the same day.

But he has no memory of his pool stunt, inspired by his music hero Charly Garcia, dubbed the “father of Argentine rock”.

The singer famously jumped into a swimming pool from the ninth floor of the Raices Aconcagua Hotel in Mendoza, Argentina, in 2000 after a night of excess.

But he was unharmed after the stunt, unlike his avid fan.

One local said: “How can he dive head-first like that? It’s half a metre deep!”

“Charly Garcia didn’t dive in headfirst,” added another.

A third said: “Best video of 2026!”

“It wasn’t deep enough to do that, he could have killed himself,” added Anabel.

And Valeria joked: “Temu Charly Garcia!”
