bellyflopped
Hit water painfully
Bellyflopped is the past tense of bellyflop—to dive or fall so that the front of the body hits the surface flat.
In swimming, it's an awkward or failed dive that slaps the water painfully: He bellyflopped off the high dive and came up red.
Figuratively, to bellyflop is to fail spectacularly: The movie bellyflopped at the box office.
