How to Do a Swanton Bomb in Wrestling

The swanton bomb is a wrestling move made famous by professional wrestler Jeff Hardy. He stands above his opponent, who lies on his back, then performs a laid out swan dive and flips over at the last second. As a result, his opponent's belly ends up over his back.

Instructions

1. Elevate yourself. The swanton bomb is typically performed from a position higher than the top turnbuckle of a wrestling ring.

2. Stand facing your opponent with your hands out in front of you.

3. Dive as if you're performing a swan dive. Keep your back and legs straight so you're diving in a laid out position.

4. Tuck your head and do a somersault in the air just before you land, so that you end up on your back rather than your stomach.

Tips & Warnings

• This is a fun wrestling move to perform on a trampoline. Jump high enough that you have room to dive and roll onto your back before you land.

• Wrestling moves are done by highly trained professionals. Do not perform these moves on anyone else, and never allow them to be performed on you. Serious injury and death have occurred when untrained fans attempt such moves.
