Doesn't look like the pool saved him.

The Taiwanese 17-year-old, identified as Lin, turned without looking into the path of an oncoming white sedan, Tomo News reports.

CCTV footage shows Lin somersaulting several times before landing in a blue inflatable pool that just happened to be sitting at the side of the road.

The empty pool, one of several being sold by a roadside vendor, saved Lin's life.

Lin was later fined $212 for driving without a helmet or a license and making an illegal turn.

The driver of the white sedan was also fined for driving without due care and attention.

Not sure why the sedan driver was fined, unless he had a yield or something. Dude turned left right in front of him.
