filmed the whole incident on a GoPro and posted online

Anthony Booth Armer is more commonly known by internet pseudonym 8Booth

A daredevil known for his filmed jumps from tall buildings has asked for public monetary support after shattering both his feet when a stunt went disastrously wrong.

Anthony Booth Armer, commonly known by his internet pseudonym 8Booth, leaped from a balcony at the Pacific Edge Hotel, in Laguna Beach, California but the YouTuber hit the concrete before rebounding into the targeted swimming pool.

The 28-year-old is now bed bound in hospital and has casts on both feet and expects to have two surgeries.

He said he will be in hospital for the next four weeks to recover from his serious injuries.

'It's super painful,' Armer said. 'They took the wrapper off yesterday I was in shock almost.'

And now Armer has started a GoFundMe page to raise capital for the medical care his insurance won't cover.

Both of his his heels and feet were completely shattered because of his jump and he now faces a lengthy recovery

The internet sensation has raised $1,255 from 50 donations since starting the page on January 2 and has set a target of $112,000 - but some have criticized his public plea for help.

One commenter on the page wrote: 'I hope you have to pay these bills for the rest of your life, even though I doubt you will learn your lesson.'

Another said: 'This money could go to someone smart, someone who will discover cure for cancer, or someone who will not kill himself in next two years.'

As well as capturing the moment on his own GoPro camera, his failed stunt was caught on various security cameras at the Pacific Edge Hotel, in Laguna Beach, California

8Booth's GoFundMe page. He had been posting his 'Pool Drop' videos since the end of the summer, but the American's eighth attempt went horribly wrong

Armer wrote on the page: 'This happened a few nights ago. I am still in the hospital. Just seeking a little support to keep doing what I'm doing or else I'll be working the rest of my life to pay this off,' he wrote on the webpage.

'Asking a small favor from you. A donation of any kind would be phenomenal.'

Despite the pain the stuntman told CBS Los Angeles that he will only give up the dangerous tricks 'when I die.'

8Booth had been posting his 'Pool Drop' videos since the end of the summer, but the American's eighth attempt of the series ended in a sickening landing on the concrete as he shatters both ankles and also plunges head-first into the pool.
