In the video, skydiver and adventure enthusiast Nasser Al Neyadi can be seen attempting an extreme water sport called water jetpacking, in which adventurers are propelled as high as 30 feet above water by water jets.

Strapped into the safety harness, there are a few moments of laughter and playful calls from his friends on the shore, as he prepares for the water-powered propulsion.

Things suddenly take a scary turn, however, when the extreme sports enthusiast seems to lose control and crash-lands back into the water. In the few ensuing moments of panic, Neyadi is nowhere to be seen.
