Gotta soak 'em all! Pokemon Go hunter falls into pond while playing - CNET

The Pokemon Go website is careful to wa players not to get distracted, saying, "For safety's sake, never play Pokemon Go when you're on your bike, driving a car, riding a hoverboard or anything else where you should be paying attention."

Maybe the site should add "while walking anywhere near a body of water." One Brooklyn player intent on the game found that out the hard way early Tuesday. He explains it in his YouTube video, and it's pretty simple. "I was in Prospect Park walking towards a lure....I fell into a pond." (Video contains swearing, but then, wouldn't you swear if you suddenly fell into a pond?)

The player's at least kept a good attitude about it, explaining to a YouTube commenter how he live-streamed his splash to both YouTube and Twitch. "With both mediums going at once, I was able to have plenty of people watch me fall into a lake."

His phone is now taking a break from Pokemon-hunting. "Unfortunately, the phone did not survive much longer after this clip," he wrote on Reddit. "It's currently in rice though and I have high hopes for its resuscitation!"
