It's June, and in the world of slow motion YouTube videos that can only mean one thing: It's time for The Slow Mo Guys to fill up another giant water balloon and send Dan plunging into it.

Giant water balloon videos have long been a summer staple of the YouTube duo, with past don't-try-this-at-home examples including Dan being crushed by one, Dan being crushed between two, and Dan being submerged in one.

This year he's diving head-first into one, and the slow motion results are just as glorious – and hilarious – as you'd hope.
