Ruby Rose's Pool Day Ends in Hospital Visit After Brutal Slip

What started as an ordinary summer day turned into a crash course in why you should never underestimate the pool deck. Australian actress Ruby Rose learned that lesson the hard way when she slipped while holding a hose, missed the pool’s edge entirely, and slammed directly into its side before tumbling into the water — all captured on security footage.

The impact left her with multiple broken ribs, a damage report she shared with her followers on Monday via Instagram Story alongside the unflinching security video. Despite the obvious pain (and the certain knowledge that her summer plans just got derailed), Rose kept her sense of humor intact. She captioned the clip with“RIP to my ribs, and to the rest of my summer. They are broken, multiple,”and soundtracked the whole ordeal with The La’s 1990 hit“There She Goes”— a choice that somehow made the whole thing both funnier and more tragic at once.

The video doesn’t pull punches. You can see her desperately swimming to the edge after the impact, a stark reminder of how quickly things go sideways around water. What’s genuinely impressive is her restraint in not making the footage disappear into the digital void. Instead, she owned it completely, even joking on Threads that she’s now“breathe into a machine lol”as part of her recovery routine.

Ruby’s pool accident serves as a good reminder that freak injuries don’t care about your status or your usual luck. One wrong step, one missed edge, and your summer plans get rewritten in an instant. At least she’s handling it with grace — and a killer soundtrack choice.
