This is the moment a child seemingly performs a physics defying DOUBLE jump

This is the moment a teenager seemingly performs a physics defying DOUBLE jump, a move commonly seen in video games.

Captain Scott Nguyen, 27, was ferrying passengers through the waters of Panama CIty, Florida, when his chartered boat came across some choppy conditions.

A young man at the bow of his boat was timing his jumps with the waves and Scott began to film him.

Scott caught a perfectly-timed jump that saw the boy 'float' in mid-air appearing to perform a physically impossible ‘double jump’.

The double jump is a popular part of the video game move set popularised by gaming icons like Mario, Sonic and Crash Bandicoot.

Scott Nguyen, from Panama City, Florida, said: “The video was taken offshore of Panama City.

“My client double jumps a wave on the bow of the boat and goes higher than expected. He wasn’t hurt in anyway.

“We all got a good laugh from the video. I’m really glad we got the footage because it’s hilarious.”
