A DAREDEVIL diver has posted a heart-stopping video of him jumping off a hotel roof into a swimming pool.

The jumper, who goes by the name of 8booth on YouTube and Instagram, frequently posts videos of his scary stunts online - including the shocking moment he leapt off El Morro cliff into the seas off California.

In his latest bonkers escapade titled 'Laguna Pool Drop' he is seen climbing stairs up the side of a hotel in Laguna Beach, Orange County, California.

After scuttling across a roof terrace he pauses for just a second before launching himself over the side and into the pool below - as a swimmer does lengths.

The risk-taker seems to miss the concrete side of the pool by inches - escaping certain death.

His fans on YouTube today praised his death-defying jump but even they said he is pushing his luck.

Sam X5 wrote: "You are f****** insane. You were probably less than 75cm from the pool edge when you landed. You gonna die soon if u keep doing this."

Ceremore wrote: "Holy S***. Like I know you gotta ditch after you do these but I would kill to get a reaction clip of the person in the pool after you pull some s*** like this.

"Don't get why people are down-voting your stuff. They say you're dumb cause you almost kill yourself. Who cares, dumb or not it's badass and it's fun to watch."

But Piplup2295 warned: "Nice, but one of these days I expect to see a dead body, please be more careful."

8booth really did have a brush with death when he jumped off the El Morro cliff near Crsytal Cove earlier this month.

Afterwards he wrote: "Massive banger at ''El Morro'', Crystal Cove in Southern California. I walked away from this jump with a minor scrape on my back.

"How? I do not know. All I do know is that I probably won't be attempting this jump any time soon!"
