Jumping on a trampoline should be a kangaroo’s time to shine.

However, hilarious footage has emerged of a roo looking like a hop, skip and a chump after flipping spectacularly off the children’s toy.

This mischievous marsupial was caught jumping onto a trampoline in Queensland, Australia - but he underestimated how springy it was when he tried to hop down.

A mother-of-two has filmed a startled kangaroo flying head first off a trampoline after bouncing off the toy

Emma Heffernans was in her backyard in Ninderry when she stumbled upon the unexpected visitor perched on her son's trampoline.

Moving closer to try and take a picture, the mother-of-two startled the animal which can be seen springing into action – evidently with a little too much enthusiasm.

The roo manages to bounce back from his awkward slipup, flipping off its back and landing on its feet before casually hopping away.

It seems the roo thankfully escaped serious injury – except of course for its pride.
