Four-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady is used to feeling the heat on the football field, but it was a decision he made on a recent family vacation to tropical Costa Rica that has him in hot water with his fans.

The New England Patriots quarterback suffered through a brutal winter like so many Bostonians, so he jetted off for an early spring getaway to thaw out. During the vacation, Brady chose to take the advice of his haters and jumped off a cliff.

He didn't get injured during the jump into a pool of water at the bottom of the cliff, but he did post video of the experience to his Facebook page, saying, "Never doing that again! #AirBrady"

ESPN.com estimates the jump was roughly 40 feet, and the video was covered on a wide range of news networks and websites. Once the video went viral, football fans began to express their concern over the star quarterback's decision to take the plunge.

Pro Football Talk notes that the jump may have been a violation of Brady's contract with the Patriots, but it's unlikely the franchise will punish him.
