Hummels makes a splash with balcony stunt

STUTTGART, Germany (AP) — Mats Hummels is being reminded of his responsibilities as a Germany international after leaping from a balcony into a swimming pool.

The Bayern Munich defender posted a video on Instagram earlier this week of him jumping from the edge of the balcony ledge alongside a hashtag which, when split, read "Do not try this at home."

"It would have been even worse if he'd jumped in head first," Germany general manager Oliver Bierhoff said.

Hummels is on Germany duty for World Cup qualifiers against the Czech Republic on Friday and Norway on Monday.
