Re: pyramid
It can feel a bit unsafe even riding around on a person's shoulders. So sat astride the shoulders of someone who themselves are sat on one or two other people underneath them must be terrifying. I've seen videos of youths in three-stack shoulder riding stunts but they're not able to keep their balance for long. This sort of multiple shoulder riding is for professional circus performers, I think.

Re: pyramid
In a pool isnt too bad . As long as balance is maintained all should be ok with this . I have done it before and I dont consider it a circus stunt .

Re: pyramid
I've got a set of photos which I downloaded from YouTube a few years ago which shows a young English teenage boy (probably aged about 13) attempting to do a three-person shoulder-riding pyramid with him at the top.
The two boys at the bottom (the first carrier and the second carrier) are older (about 16 years old). After a few attempts they do achieve a three-person pyramid - but it doesn't last long.
The young boy at the top of the three-person pyramid looks absolutely delighted when the three of them manage to achieve this. I won't upload the set of photos because they are all under 18 years of age even though this was purely high-spirited horseplay by these three boys. By the way, they did this on an area of grassland rather than in a swimming pool, so it was quite a risky and potentially dangerous thing to do.

Re: pyramid
I agree with checkmateguy. I have no problem sitting on the shoulder of my carriers even when they are rather small or weak. But normally I wouldn't be hurt if the guy under me falls.
But to be sitting up there with the person beneath me trying to maintain his/her seat on the shoulders of the person on the bottom is far to dangerous to even be enjoyable. Obvious with 3 people under me it would be worse. This sort of stunt is for circus performers.
