Darren Taylor jumped off a 35-foot platform into a kiddie pool in front of a crowd of cheering fans.

"The pain lasts for a minute but the glory lasts for a lifetime," Taylor said after the jump.

Local 6 showed video of Taylor landing in the water face first.

Taylor's pool has a large pad to help minimize the impact of the dive.

Taylor, who broke his own record with the dive, said the latest jump is his last.
