For example, a sixteen-year-old boy died of an infection after his face split open in an accident when he jumped into the water. The consequences of this incident were extremely serious. There was also the American athlete Alison who chose a move with a difficulty index of 3.0 during the first jump of the women's three-meter springboard preliminary competition. During the somersault, his feet hit the board, interrupting the whole set of movements, and he fell into the water horizontally, causing a big splash. The seven referees unanimously gave 0 points. This mistake was more serious and affected the subsequent competition results. In addition, during the opening of the Olympic Aquatics Center by French President Marron, Alexis Jandard slipped while performing the three-meter springboard event.
