I don't think those pools can take that kind of abuse and still stay upright. I had one and the water ran over the side with noone in it. My son had one and his wife got close to the edge, Away she went in the yard on a tidal wave.
It's kinda obvious, especially with the fast rate of acceleration........but I still wanna try~!~

I did watch on Discovery channel one night a fella setting a world record.
He dove from 30 feet into 12 inches of water in a pool that appeared to be about half that tall and the pool held. He was able to spread the shock out through his body and walked away. Was pretty interesting.
Actually, I just found the vid on youtube.

Yeah...if I were to land in a huge lake or massive pool....I'd be in!
I still find these special effects videos very creative. And the fact you can not see (digital blur) anywhere in them where it goes from reality to special effects...is amazing. Remember the Toyota truck commercials? 
Here's what I noticed.
1) the pool is sitting on padding used by stuntmen. That absorbs much of the shock created by his landing. I'm sure he bottomed out hard on the pool.
2) He used his hands to break the surface tension rather than just bellyflopping into the pool which would have caused significant pain
3) He's pretty darn dumb for even wanting to try that
